This only shows again that more pikes are needed at the club... ;)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05460836818633600291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132927368212665620.post-63795300241092427712014-04-18T12:36:15.011+00:002014-04-18T12:36:15.011+00:00Great looking armies, colorful and very impressive...Great looking armies, colorful and very impressive, I love your Gendarmes...Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132927368212665620.post-81429235894596950942014-04-18T08:47:23.414+00:002014-04-18T08:47:23.414+00:00Nice!

This blog definitely needs more Italian Wars. <br />Nicely painted figures, though 24-man pike blocks look... well, they're ok-ish, but try 36 (6x6) and you'll see the difference ;)<br />(having said that, for bigger battles with more blocks, 24 in 6x4 will certainly be easier to handle. As long as they are based 4x4 on equal frontage, you'll have all bases covered OH THE PUN!)matheohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877422861472235641noreply@blogger.com
