Hundred Years War - DBA

The parcel has now arrived

Gloves have been disposed off and hands sanitised, I now need to leave it in quarantine for 3 days

Can you not unwrap the package, wearing gloves, and retrieve the goodies within, Paul ?
No-one could have touched those, since they left Middlesbrough.....Unless any customs officials have had a peek inside the box.

The packaging can then be left to 'decontaminate' before being recycled.

There WERE reports of a certain frequency of UV light that will kill viruses......But not harm ourselves......That's gone very quiet of late.
A shame....that sounded like an exciting discovery.

Cheers - Phil

Cut open the box; pour out the contents onto a tray; recycle box; wash hands? 

[paulr]

Thanks, that's a really good suggestion

I'll do that tomorrow, a bit late to start sorting tonight

If you want to be extra cautious wear nitrile/latex gloves and you can even start sorting and prepping them: or use tongs/tweezers to pick up the packets.

Since the main route of infection in this type of scenario is touching your face after touching something someone infected has touched, the gloves help by giving you a visual reminder not to do it and you can treat the gloves like an extra layer of epidermis: a thorough wash with soap will remove/kill any viral particles you may pick up!

Obviously 

I figure that anything hit with a blast of spray primer is either going to be immediately denatured and/or destroyed and/or encased in a paint sarcophagus and so is no longer going to be a infection risk

Heraldically speaking, isn't that one of the furs?  So it's actually a fluffy elephant! 

Green beaver?  Too much cheese at bedtime? 

Late to the conversation as always (& having done an Advanced City & Guilds in Heraldry in my youth) - the 'fur' on the elephant is Ermine.

I think a green Beaver is something she might need antibiotics for however!

I'll get my coat (of arms!) ...

PS: that Oxford Coat of Arms is not correct for 100years War - best book if yoy want HYW Heraldry is the one from Freezywater Publications. They also fo great Wars of the Roses Heraldry as well.

I managed to get half the armies sorted yesterday

English and French, two armies each, left to sort

[paulr]

Sorting finished

I slightly over ordered ELM14 Peasants with mixed weapons

Not a significant problem, I'll use the extras as more units of Rabble for my ECW armies

Lots of very nice figures

Where to start



Possibly the Burgundians

You can use the peasants to form a French Jacuerie army: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacquerie
There are some interesting battles and small sieges they were engaged in. Played as a wild-card (as they attacked both French - nobles & cities - and also the English & Free Companies) - they'd make an interesting addition to the campaign.

Peasant Revolt! 

[paulr]

One of the Medieval French armies I'm doing includes the option for up to three elements of Jaquerie

[Big Insect]

A whole army might be interesting - 

I cannot remember if DBA has 'horde' type elements in it or not - but I suspect the army is probably not much more than a mass of 'horde or levy' with a few Warband for the better equipped ex-feudal retainer types or more motivated rioters and maybe a base or 2 (max) of some Skirmisher of Psiloi types - armed with a mix of bows, slings and xbows. 

[paulr]

DBA 3.0 has 2 types of horde fast and solid. Lose of neither counts toward breaking the army, which might make it a bit tricky
