Pony Wars

[Lighthorse]

I was part of that kick starter group. Got my rules and cards.
Also received enough figures in 6mm to have a quick game.Place a second order for more Indians/mounted, teepees and village Indians, the fort, extra wagons including the warwagon, plus other extra.So far I have the US Cavalry painted up, and have half of those mounted.
Never did 6mm before, so started by using inks for the basic colors, then dry brushing, and lastly regular paints with a touch here and there. Finish them fairly quickly...thank god. With hundreds of mounted troops looking at you, its sets you back some.Just finish cleaning, mounted on cardboard strips for painting, then primer with flat white, 240 Indian mounted warriors.
Will include pictures later.I haven't started on the playing board that will 6 x 8 ft.....that's huge. Thinking 2 x 6 ft sections will be the way to go with this.Years ago at our annual convention, I did Pony Wars in 15mm. Its was a very successfully.
Afterwards I lost most of my collection of miniatures. So now I'm starting over.

Look forward to the pictures. It will be good to see the mass.
Maybe post some work in progress pictures?

Like the Cat Ballou movie picture too.

Although not Pony Wars per se, there was an excellent Little Big Horn game at Partizan, though they did it in the wrong scale, using 28mm. I mentioned to them that 28mm will never catch on and that it would look so much better in 15mm.

I hope they appreciated your wisdom Sean.

It is important to annoy anyone who is having a good game.

It is always worth travelling to a show in order to annoy:-
Dave with  meaningless detail about WW2
Sean with  "you are all wrong by using 15mm"
martin with " buy my rules and scrap yours"
etc...
Do add others here.

"You do realise those grenadiers wore a six-button coat, not a four-button."

Push-off, this is 6mm you know!"

For such a realistic and the greatest representation of WWII combat in miniature wargaming rules ever written,  you do realise that soldiers and tanks could not teleport from the starship Enterprise onto jump off points in WWII.
