He could not wait to get home and show it to me. He and his father both had a lot of fun playing your game and meeting you. Thank you for sharing it with them and for showing them a good time. You have a wonderful project here, and I wish you much success with it.<br /><br />Best wishes, traciAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-89568568085184759002012-08-09T15:23:29.979-07:002012-08-09T15:23:29.979-07:00Felmarshall- I'm glad I never saw these until ...Felmarshall- I'm glad I never saw these until now- I may not have come up with Wooden Wars!

Me too!<br />Aaron- very much looking forward to the pics! I love using your own designs- one mate of mine has painted up his force from Baron Bomburt's troops (Chitty Chitty bang bang).<br /><br />Archduke- I agree totally with your comment. That being said, everyone loves a bit of flash loot- Even the Emperor- exemplified by Napoleon's Portrait of his coronation. <br /><br />I've had the good luck to see that painting- it's an awesome 32 feet long and 20 ish feet high. That's a baubble that looks like it really means something (as is the crown he is getting)! <br /><br />cheers all!<br />ThomasFoss1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532255411392601854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-11100152125736098022012-08-09T11:57:46.535-07:002012-08-09T11:57:46.535-07:00I'm really looking forward to the kickstarter....I'm really looking forward to the kickstarter. Marshal Rocco has painted a sample trooper in a uniform of his own devising. I'll send you a picture soon. He needs a little practice, but we have plenty of time to sharpen his brushwork while the recruits are mustered!Aaron Tobulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913927584241955747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-87019722241454405482012-08-09T03:58:15.039-07:002012-08-09T03:58:15.039-07:00I have to confess that I am absolutely hooked by t...I have to confess that I am absolutely hooked by the progress of the project.

I hope they are a great success.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008565906473762999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630772564305914584.post-87826011176618968732012-08-08T09:04:15.697-07:002012-08-08T09:04:15.697-07:00This continues to be an amazing project and I wish...This continues to be an amazing project and I wish you the best of luck at GenCon.

Just as iconodules don't really worship pictures of their deity of choice, but what those images represent; so soldiers fight for what the ribbons symbolise. Had napoleon really believed the ribbon thing, he would never have been able to hold the loyalty of his troops the way he did.<br /><br />Of course, the baubles have to look as though they really mean something. The examples abovefulfil that task admirably.<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
