Continuing my new monthly resurrection of a post from ten years ago.
I'm not sure why I suddenly decided that I needed to wargame the English Civil War using One Hour Wargames, but I did. And because I wanted to do it as soon as possible I put together some armies using paper figures from Junior General.
I did a few posts in September 2015 showing how I assembled the armies themselves, but I highlighted a 'make' last month. So I thought I'd take you back to their first game. It's one of the One Hour Wargames scenarios rebadged as the first action in a mini-campaign set in the county of Midsomer.
So let's go back to 1642, and the Battle of Midsomer Barrow
Since that outing those paper figures have seen many more battles and have fought under at least five different sets of rules!
Ha. Ten years ago I did not get the reference. But now I subscribe to Britbox and it all makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI rather think any battles around Midsomer are is likely to have an unrealistically high casualty rate! As the pathologist in one episode equipped "Unusually for Midsomer, death was due to natural causes".
ReplyDeleteWow…they’ve made quite a few appearances since then!
