SYW Honours of War using 10mm

[Steve J]

Very, very nice indeed

[Leman]

Meant to say 30mm bases - so 120mm lines

If he doesn't put the 3pdrs in the line, can they be used as light guns, or are they really a bn gun?

I have retained some 3pdrs with 3 gun crew only to use as light gun batteries.

[Westmarcher]

If not too late LH, could consider 25mm / 1 inch square bases like Leman and myself. That way if you use rules with measurements in base widths, an ordinary ruler / tape measure will do.

Great set up (as usual), Leman. And a new war-games room too! Posh! 

[Leman]

Not a dinner party man, and I can get a dining table in the kitchen, so who needs a dining room.

[Womble67]

Very nice setup

Take care

Very nice set up. Does your new wargames room still have to double up at times for visitors to sleep in, children to party in, wife to hang washing in etc... or is it a real, full-time wargames room?

[Leman]

It's the real McCoy (damn it Jim I'm a divorcee not some young married guy with yowling kids}. One bedroom houses the lad and his lady, there's mine, a spare room and a small one doubling as office and wargames library. The Wargames room houses my painting desk, storage, a 6'x4' table and a comfy leather chair so it can double as a den. I also have my Sonos speaker in  there. After 18 years of full time education and then 37 years on the other side of the desk I reckon I deserve it.

[Bodvoc]

I would say well deserved too and I hope to be in a similar position myself in 4 years 3 months and 1 week, not that I am counting1

[Leman]

Here's to you Bod.

Do the Honours rules allow for figure removal or are the same as Black Powder?

[Bill Braham]

Do the Honours rules allow for figure removal or are the same as Black Powder?

"No figures or bases are removed as a result of firing or melee. Hits received are recorded with a single green mini-die (or an alternative marker of your choice) and are cumulative throughout the game"

Flint, Keith (2015-11-20). Honours of War: Wargames Rules for the Seven Years War (Osprey Wargames) (Kindle Locations 810-812). Osprey Publishing Ltd. Kindle Edition.

[Last Hussar]

I prefer that to figure removal.  You end up with tiny units all over the place.  At Waterloo it was noted the Enniskillens took heavy casualties and still stood - 1/3rd.  On a table 1/3 figure removal is 'just getting started'

[far4ngn]

I'm still old fashioned and like to see the units whittle down under fire/melee. 

[Bill Braham]

I'm still old fashioned and like to see the units whittle down under fire/melee. 

Firing can be quite brutal in HoW once you get above 3 hits (which are cummulative from all causes of course) the end can be quick and definitive! Whittling does not begin to describe it.
