The unit is painted in my 70s style dots; possibly I'll do a couple more of these units but the later National Army types that form V and VI should be OK for now.
And that finishes Xerxes' Army. I'm currently having fun sorting out the battlefield for Plataea - trouble is, Grant seems to have used three different versions in his book! Also, when I initially cut some polystyrene sheet for hills and sprayed them the result was too dark - so started spraying with a diffeent green and the hills started dissolving! Getting there.
What rules will you be using for Platea?
ReplyDeleteMy own mish mash of DBX/WRG 4th plus own variations. Basically everything I've got is element based and I generally use DBA factors. However, I also treat elements as grouped into units - and on a given move every element in that unit is covered by one random factor, however split up the elements are. For morale, treat them as nits under WRG 4th. Ranged weapons I also allow distance fire, movement rates baseline infantry move is 6".
