Arrived the other day and has done its duty as a kids toy for the required twenty minutes.
Like the legenday Beanie Hat, it does not fly by itself!

Project Build Winners
The polling booths for the 2011 Project Build closed yesterday over on The Guild.
Not quite so happy with my showing this year, primarily because I lost the will to paint Thirty Years War in 28mm - I did get a few nice scenarios written up and some substantial rules for a Command & Colours variant.
Speaking of which, voting to decide what scale I'm switching to for the Thirty Years War continues (top-right hand corner of the blog). Currently 2mm is languishing on 3 votes while 6mm and 10mm are tied with 8 votes apiece.
This year the format was slightly different in that we voted for every task and not just at the end. A better system I thought and stand-out tasks could get a lot of credit.
So, without further ado, the winners' podium!
Olivier in 3rd place with his Berlin terrain and German and Soviet forces. [on 85 votes]
While I could pick out some of his individual photos his game report is just irresistable!
Michi in 2nd place with his Star Wars stuff. [on 92 votes]
Ansbachdragoner in 1st place with his Sword Beach terrain and figures. [on 138 votes]
Well done to all who completed their projects, I'm sure you'll agree there's some beautiful work there. My own personal favourite was Janner's Crusades project.
Next year, I reckon I'll be doing a load of stuff for the African Warlords game in Kildare.

Pike and Shot - A Sense of Scale
Having written a set of rules for Pike and Shot (I'm sure that my gaming companions won't let me ignore those British Civil Wars for long!) I really should put together a collection to fight massed battles with them.
However the question of what size miniatures to use is still open.
As I see the issue, I really want a sense of mass on the battlefield, so I'm ignoring the larger scales and considering 10mm, 6mm or 2mm only.
I'm inclining towards 6mm (given I have a lot of 6mm already) but await your decision. The poll is in the top-right hand corner of the blog.
To help you to make a decision before entering the polling booth, I'm going to link to a few blog posts from others who are using the miniatures I'm considering
10mm
Pendraken
From The Warrior Pole
6mm
Baccus
From Keep Your Powder Dry
2mm
Irregular
From Fighting Fantastist
