Next Project .

I've been clearing out boxes from under my wargaming table with a view to selling off a lot of the stuff I will never use and its surprising what you find (I once found a dead blackbird hidden there by one of the cats- uck!) -


Two Peter Pig 15mm Russian Civil War armies , bought several years ago in one of his 'army in a box' deals - I based up and sprayed them ready for painting . I was going to use them with his 'Square Bashing' rules .Above is the White army .


The H.Q. base and Tchanka - how cute are they !.


The Red army box , again based up and sprayed . My first impulse was to put them on the pile of 'For Sale' things - then I started looking through them and thought how easily they would paint up, the RCW is not renowned for its complected uniforms ! . 


Red army Armoured Car , Artillery and M/G bases . With my FPW project nearly finished (only 2 cavalry regiments to paint up)  this would make a fine change and with the added bonus that its all ready for painting . See how I've talked myself into it ! - watch this space !

  1. I have played a few(3 I think) RCW battles with the Square bashing rules. I would recommend it. But be aware once you have the basics you will then want to get the options... Good fun though.

    1. I played the old red backed edition about 10-12 years ago and liked them - think that what induced me to buy these two armies

  2. The RCW is a great period to play. I haven't played Square Bashing but have used Red Actions from the Perfect Captain which are a great rule set and are free!!
