New WotR project.

Good chaps and nice bases too!

[Sean Clark]

In what way Les?

There may be a vacancy on the management coming up. I'd be happy to nominate you. I'm sure you'll get things in order 😊

[Leman (Andy)]

I am also puzzled. The comments all seem to be related to the thread as far as I can tell.

[Steve E]

Next up a heavy gun.

[martin goddard]

I like heavy guns.
Are you using bloody barons?
If so, you will find heavy guns a real pain to get reloaded (which is deliberate).

[Sean Clark]

Not to answer for Steve, but he is. He's one of my congregation 😊

[Colonel Kilgore]

That is a mighty big gun - just look out for when it rotates!

[Leman (Andy)]

I do like to see artillery out on the WotR gaming table. It does seem that as the wars continued artillery became more common.

[Sean Clark]

I think Bloody Barons handles it very well too. It's not a game winner, and can in fact be next to useless if your men aren't quick in reloading it, but it can be very useful if used at the right time.

[Colonel Kilgore]

A couple of guns do look very good on the table, as well as providing a useful distraction for the enemy to attack!

Simon

[martin goddard]

Agreed Simon.
They look great in a game.
A couple of times they have earned me a bunch of kills.
Often some of my own men get in the way or they get rolled up by an opponent.

As a note heavy guns do not move but can be placed a zone forward if that is your advanced zone chosen before deployment.

We must be thankful that the use of artillery helped in locating the actual site of the battle of Bosworth

[Sean Clark]

Was this due to the fall of shot and subsequent discovery to show patterns?

[martin goddard]

You are right Sean.
The best place to look is the "Time Team" with Tony Robinson episode.
It is on you tube.

Well worth the time to watch it I think.

So we continue with the project, lots of part units done but only a few more finished pieces.
Here’s my light gun.
