Update & Next Project

In the past two weeks Ive managed to do absolutely nothing wargame related- a part from play the new Panzer Corps 1939 @ 1940 campaigns- which I really like :)

I was up in Christchruch for the weekend and tried to squeeze in a game of Early War FoW- my French Recon company vs a Panzer Company. Ian and I were trying to get a game in before people turned up this morning but only managed a couple of turns before family commitments put paid to that!








Pity, it was shaping up to be an interesting game.

Next Project
I have finally decided on my next project. Kent isn't too keen to face the Syrians with his Crusaders at present- finding the light horse a bit hard to deal with, however, it took me a number of games to get the hang of them and they are a pretty fragile army! So I've decided my next Impetus army will be a 400 pt Cilicean Armenian force for vs his Crusaders.

It will play similar to the Crusaders and I will be using the lovely Perry Armenian range of the bulk of the troops.

My initial force will be:

1st Command:
4x Armenians Heavy Cavalry
2x Bedouin light horse

2nd Command
4x Heavy foot (Armenians/ Franks)
2x Mercenary (Frankish) Crossbows

3rd Command
4x Heavy Foot (Armenians)
2x Light infantry
2x Archers

So that should keep me out of trouble for a while.

This week though, Kent and I hope to get in a game of Lasalle.

  1. Impetvs? I've heard that's a fun game, I'll have to make time for it at some stage.

    Have you heard about the firm doing Teutonic Knights as plastics? Crusader armies for everyone!

  3. Hi Craig,

    Fireforge games. There is a Warseer thread on them here: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=317478

    They've gone with the full ornamental helmets but apparantly there will be almost enough in the box to give more normal helmets and the rest could be acheived with a knife.

    Cheers
