River Don Revisited & Los Americanos (or not)

This blog was supposed to be about two things:











  1. The frame gun fell no more than an inch or two (and was sitting amongst some Byzantine Cavalry!) ...

    The phase that follows 'shopping' might best be called 'composition' (this can take minutes or months, and often involves a lot of setting figures and bits on bases experimentally to see how best to arrange them).

    Without 'composition', you won't know what conversions and modifications are needed!

    The point at which a method become a routine is the point where both become the enemy of innovation.

    I think that's a suitably unintelligible point, so I'll sign off.

    Looking forward to the SCW stuff ...

    (Garford modelling post just up at )

  2. I'd never really thought about "composition". I tend to think of figures as part of bigger units, so how they sit on an individual base is less important than how the bases all fit together.

    With or without composition I know the number of ocnversions I require is, as my old boss used to say, a round number....unless the whole unit is being decapitated.

  3. I am not clear on where I can find a copy of the Return to the River Don rules.

  4. Dear PMG

    They were puiblished in WD's Nugget sometime in the last 12 months. Othwerwise they're probably not on a website. If you let me have you e-mail address I'll send you a pdf.
