Mad Guru, thanks for the compliments, your blog is certainly an inspiration, especially your conversions. We actually started this whole thing as a pirate campaign that evolved from Barbary pirates vs British navy. As for the SYW period that we eventually decided on, it was something exotic and different from the standard campaigns in an Indian setting we had seen.Furthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674100385672908858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955256266136085500.post-20709899094018450012011-01-12T12:26:38.002+11:002011-01-12T12:26:38.002+11:00As many have already said, Furt, your rockets look...As many have already said, Furt, your rockets look splendid!!! I will go further and say your troops are the best looking 18th century sub-continentals I've seen! As someone who plays late 19th century colonials, it's interesting and exciting to see figures, terrain and games set in the same or very similar environments but earlier periods. For some time I've wanted to branch out of my c.1880 Afghanistan comfort zone and raise armies for Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Enjoying your 1750s Indian efforts may just push me to do it!<br /><br />I'm curious, if you don't mind my asking, did you get into the Seven Years War in India more from the SYW aspect or the Indian aspect... or something else entirely?Mad Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668417524454209192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955256266136085500.post-54066880450035314272011-01-11T10:17:58.945+11:002011-01-11T10:17:58.945+11:00Excellent set up, nice jobExcellent set up, nice jobCaptain Richard's miniature Civil Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149386738466118837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955256266136085500.post-27048693158036387012011-01-06T22:11:07.421+11:002011-01-06T22:11:07.421+11:00Well, I think the rockets are splendid.
