I hope there will be a MiniWargs/Battle game article.<br /><br />I had the same problem with the free standing cavalry and ended up lightly gluing them to individual bases. <br /><br />To some extent I found that using conventional rules and multi-bases made it feel a little less like "playing with toy soldiers" and a little more like a wargame with slightly larger figures but that they still had/have a presence that smaller figures lack and are ideal for some periods, like Colonials.<br /><br />Looking forward to more pictures.<br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
