I think you can make it work. Why not the new rebels and patriots, wouldn't that be same scale, or is the engine not something to your taste? <br /><br />I am at an age now where I totally agree with you on not wanting to paint hundreds and hundreds of figures. If I can paint say a hundred and twenty or so for both sides, that's my cup of tea then.<br /><br />Cheers<br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-3776641208924695602019-08-08T09:50:22.233-07:002019-08-08T09:50:22.233-07:00Thank you very much, Kevin.

I've seen a few FPW games on YouTube, but those were mostly larger scale games (one in 6mm, IRRC). Probably a stretch to use Bolt Action for FPW, but I didn't want to invest in the time/$$ for larger forces for say something like Black Powder. Thanks again for the visit and kind words!

Interestingly, those are also cast with riders and horse blanket as one piece. That is, both these North Star and the Eagles of Empire horses are plain bodies - with only reins and straps molded onto the body.
