A Battle with Medieval Playmobil

[AndrewL]

Dear All,

I've posted pictures of a battle I fought with some of my customised medieval troops over at Garden Wargaming: http://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=1387.0

Given what I think of as the non-belligerent ethos of this board (it is Playmofriends, after all  ), I figured it wasn't quite right to post these pictures here. But should anyone wish to go and have a look, please do!

And if folks here would like to see the pics on this board, just let me know.

Cheers,

AndrewL

That's why we have Garden Wargaming, Andrew ... 

BTW, for those of you who enjoyed Andrew's "Medieval Groups", you'll love seeing them organized into armies. Very, very impressive!

And Richard, there's lots more photos up now at G-W than there were when you first looked   

Cheers,

Wow!!! This was really impressive Andrew!!! Great formations and battle!!! Really loved the little details!!!!I've always wanted to do that....
How much time did it take to set up and do the battle?

Hi Wolf Knight,

Thanks! 

I think I played it out over a couple of days. This wasn't a problem, since that room in our house has been largely given over to Playmobil, and there was nothing to prevent me from leaving things all set up over a couple of nights.

But as you can see from the pictures, the room isn't completely given over to Playmobil -- there's a few other things taking up space as well (like the desk and computer on which I'm writing this post!  ).

Maybe some day I'll have space to fight one out on a really grand scale

Cheers,

Is it possible for you to go outside, Andrew?

I think Andrew has photographed and narrated a great Medieval battle that is certainly worth checking out.

Very impressive!

Hi All,

Many thanks for your kind comments -- much appreciated.

To answer Richard's question: yes, it would be possible to go outside, and indeed I have occasionally contemplated doing so. A garden wargame in... wait for it... a garden  It would be about 6m square to work with, but that would still be a bit more than what I've got in the Playmobil room/study in the house.

I shall start planning something now, but I think I'd prefer to wait until summer really arrives: more light and warmer. Springtime weather in England, even southern England, can be, um, unpredictable.

Cheers,

AndrewL
