troop types in new edition

[alang]

Hello  Just rebasing some figures in anticipation of these rules release.  Do the rules still differentiate between stands with firearms and those with hand weapons for pirates and militia?

Hello Andy(?)
The land raid rules are in 6" squares. I have based my men at the rate of 3 per 3cm square base. Others have used coins to good effect. The bases are all the same in terms of armament. When being used as pirates/buccaneers the bases are all able to initiate shootig. When being use as local scurvy they can only do response shooting (firing back when shot at ).
You will need about 22 bases of attackers/pirates. Plus 4 officers.
For the defender you will need 7 troop bases and about 14 local/scurvy/ship crew bases.
The numbers area  little fuzzy, as dice are used to determine exactly how many turn up!

Quite a few bases then. However bases can be made with just 2 figures for economy.

Let me know if you need more info

Andy.
I have mine based for the old set of rules and they work fine if you had them arranged as suggested at the time.

Thanks for the clarification.  So no Militia in the new rules?  Regards Alan

You could term the "troops" as militia if that helps?
