I put my 6mm scale historical wargaming protect on the shelf at the beginning of the year after becoming daunted by the prospect of assembling two large armies (given the rabble rousing I was giving the project among my gaming…
During 2018 and 2019 I was slowly working away on a 6mm, fast-playing, big-battle pike and shot rule set. Playtesting was handled with flat paper proxies. In early 2020, I finally pulled the trigger on actual miniatures from a handful…
