Lovely ships, nice job!

They look good, Eric; well done. Planning some naval action I see. What rules you going with? ~K

That's a great-looking fleet! Are the recognition stripes hand-painted or did you use a template of some type for consistency?

Casting on both is rather poor ,I'll stay with Kallistra's 12mm pewter Samurai , never had a duff figure

You8 chose ot to use the flooded fields like the historic battle had. Thats fie makes for an interesting game regardless. I fought this battle a few years ago using spearhead. with the flooded fields still interesting.

As a 40 year + collector of ‘6mm’ scale wargaming miniatures, I would say 2d6 are 6mm, Baccus are 7mm and Adler are 8mm when comparing them scale wise.

I'l love to see a painting guide on these minis

Great find. try doing a brown or green ink wash on the plastic to take the plastic sheen off.

Nice job!

For a Liverpudlian it's great to see a recreation of the battle that gave Liverpool FC's famous terrace its name. You've also sold me on buying BBB. YNWA!

What did you do for your water base ?

Very nice terrain and diorama Eric. Which figures are they? The naval gun looks like Miniature Figurines, but I can't tell the rest.

I enjoyed that. Well presented; very old school; inspiring. Thanks, Eric. I hope you do more of these. ~Fritz

Brilliant approach to simple terrain. I plan to adopt your method to 1/285 scale micro armor.

This is a neat choice of battle and period. What did you make the elevated areas out of? Edit: you answer this in the video

boers were great soldiers and marksman it took the british few years to beat them, brits used indian canadian and australian and new zealand troops the last 2 were also good marksman as alot were farmers like the boers some of the boer weapons were better than the brits alot came from germany mauser rifles krupp guns

Looks very nice...with handsome terrain and units!

Turned out great, Eric. I love the simple and straightforward approach you have taken. Would LoVe to play this out. Are you going to show off the progress of the battle? :) Well done. ~Fritz

Looks great Eric, I think it actually pronounced as spee-on kop

Brilliant terrain Eric! Love the video and the whole set up!

Great Video!!!!

Incredible

What is this commander game? I'm interested in knowing more. Looking at the comment section it looks like people here know about something that I don't know anything about. Thank you in advance

vive les patriote

thank from quebec

Well done. Thank you for remembering our patriots ❤️

Where are you from

Did you keep hits on turn to turn or take them off?

Sweet - there’s not enough XXCommander game love on YT.

Great to see an IndoPak game. A very interesting period with WW2 equipment and more modern equipment. A period that our CWC group will be exploring more next year 👍

Well done, Eric. A good showing for the Indian forces. Enjoyed. ~K

And now... I shall read some Conan. :)

That is a wonderful looking book. As soon as you cracked the first few pages, I asked myself, " yeah. What about the ships involved?" You then dove into all those wonderful ship and gun stat pages. That's so damn useful. Thanks for posting, Eric. I love naval stuff. ~K

If 2D6 are 6mm then Baccus are close to 10, not 7mm. I use H&R and Irregular. Baccus and Adler are too big for 6mm and should not be classed as such IMHO

Thanks for revue, Did you print those figures yourself? Was it easy to do? Are the japanese spear strong enought?

What the real size of the 2D6 Wargaming?

The missile troops of the period often didn't wear a sashimono as it interfered with the aiming of the rear ranks. The Feudal Japanese horse was actually more like a pony hence they are so small. Thanks for the review.

interesting stuff Eric look great based up

Clever and nicely done!

I like that dowel idea. You could even use beads in the colour of the commands and colour unit type to make ID during the game easier.

I really like the beads method. Very classy as well as practical. Moving it as needed, or even removing it is an awesome bonus. Well done on the video - and no BEEP!!! Keep at it, Eric. Very informative. ~K

Many thanks. Useful to know hiw these came out with different undercoats. Lovely brushwork

Nice comparison between the 2. I used Irregular Miniatures 6mm for my 1803 Assaye figures and think they do some Samurai too.

Impressive 6mm figures, black may be the best!

they look cool with some paint on them Eric good stuff

I alwaysgo with black. Your idea of gray/white as a base color for bright colors you want to srand out more is a good one. For instance, when I am painting a yellow area, I paint a base color like orange, pale brown, etc., as an undercoat for the yellow to set atop. You really don't have to limit yourself to just gray/white, and the idea is the same. That said, black as a primer and base coat is an effective way to go, no matter the scale. Keep posting, Eric. Thought provoking stuff. ~K

Very interesting Eric. Looking forward to your vids. Basing for 6mm will be interesting.

Quite a difference. Nice one, Eric. ~K

Rulers must be different eric,they where using :)

wait...those are both 6mm. I'm ok with differences in size in the same "scale" but thats pretty crazy
