![]() Standard User Posts: 2 Irish Rebellion of 1798/Battle of Vinegar HillTHGC 22nd Sep 2024 05:22:05 I produce hex based battle games though some blow up my game maps and do miniatures with the game counter behind as there is only 1 unit per hex. I have been working on a game on the Battle of Vinegar Hill and doing all the research on units and uniforms and created a design Facebook page where interested folks could follow the game development process: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564653026253. I am going to give a miniature version a go. I thought I would share my thoughts on proxies, not an exclusive list but hopefully of interest to some: Crown (British) Line infantry NPR 21 Light Infantry AWL3 Dragoons NPR27 Fencible Cavalry NBR5 5/60th Infantry NBR3 Fencible Infantry AWB5 Hompesch Mtd Rifles (did a head swap with NBR3 and SBR4) Artillery NPR 28H General NSP12
United Irish Pike NSP3 (remove muskets and add .08mm styrene for pikes and can mix some SKW3 for the regular pike but more regularity for experienced pike) Muskets NSP4 To add some variety for above and for artillery, NSP 17 Generals NSP 18 and NSP 12- did a little carving hats off and adding brimmed hats from other packs for priests) Women WEC 13 Cart Artillery- cut off wheels and trail and put on pared down equipment cart) |
