...but I likes it!
I’ve spent a few quid on hexon stuff lately, flocked these days since my allergy to the static grass has apparently faded with time.
Anywhoo, my eye was caught by some of their trench stuff for WW1 and though it’s meant for their 10mm miniatures, my 6mm boys look okay in this prepared defence position that looks something like a star fort (if you squint at it, in the dark, from 10ft away).
I’m going to justify its use on the grounds that both sides in the ECW conflict employed foreign experts to design defences for them, and whoever is in possession of this one has employed a right idiot.
I’m sure it’ll be making an appearance at some point in a forthcoming follow on (from my first one) ECW campaign that I’m provisionally entitling “Return of the King”.
Thankfully hexed terrain means I can use Msr Foys excellent C&C ECW rules derivative again, which remain my “go to” set for the ECW.
The photos below show Sir William Pennyman’s Regt of Foot marching in to these new defences to support some artillery bods.
