Major Goodenough's Shotte


This is possibly my favourite unit so far; Major Goodenough's division of commanded shot (the photo is clickable). This Parliamentarian regiment, complete with preacher, received an unlikely baptism during the basing process, when I accidently poured the better part of a bottle of Becks over it. Consequently they are slightly more gloss than their more sober peers, and invariably fight like Achilles!

The minis are from at least half-a-dozen different painters including Shaun McTague and David Imrie - others were odd figures from eBay that I made good. The flag is from Flag's of War.

    Beautiful figures. Three players in Russia are waiting for the new rules. Tell me, Simon, will there be sheets only for England or for a thirty-year war? Will there be Russian lists?

      Thanks Alex! I hope to publish in around a month.

      These rules are very much for the English Civil War, but the mechanics could be used for the 30 YEars War. I intend to write a specific 30 Year War set, later, using the same mechanics, but I have a couple of other things I need to write first! :-)
