Wargame Rules

BLOG BACKGROUND AND WARGAME RULES
I have set up this blog for my wargaming interests in the Muscovite-Tartar Wars, Reconquista Wars, the Barbary Coast Pirates, and the early campaigns of the Ottoman Turks and Saracens. Some lesser known crusades will also be covered. Miniatures are mainly 28mm with a growing collection in 54mm. If my photographs serve to encourage others to complete their collections I shall be pleased. I will also be mentioning other sites with interesting collections on the above. Do join the 'Friends' if you like what you see.

I prefer to use my own rules which are kept simple and involve eight-sided dice. These allow for fast results with various types of weaponry. Morale dominates my games.

54MM Colleoni or Coglioni, its all a load of bollocks (Part Three)

The famous condottiere Bartholomeo Colleoni had an illness which gave him three testicles. With his surname being also similar to coglioni (testicles in Italian), this warrior knight decided to use a distinctive coat of arms. I'm rather pleased with this addition to my 54mm collection. Its a spare Herald Range knight, with a spare Swoppit Range horse, an unwanted Deetail Range saddle & Cloth, with an ornamental plume taken from a Crescent Range helmet. I also had to construct, and pin a replacement ear. There is something very pleasing about bringing odds and spares together to make something interesting. I have drilled and fixed a steel nail to ensure all is quite firmly together, just got to source out a suitable base. MGB

      Cheers Robbie, despite its irregular composition, it looks right next to the Herald barded cavalry.
