Baccus - Pony Wars Indian villagers and Christmas deliveries.

Well after a few weeks of  'eavy metal' back to the 6mm bare metal and civilians groups for the Indians. 

These will serve as a useful addition to the collection and give the Indians something to defend and the cavalry a target to kill or capture.

I opted for round bases to make them easy to identify on the table and a sabot to denote wounds on the base.


Baccus reinforcements landed on the door mat prior to Christmas, they were intercepted by the family and wrapped up.... good old Santa. It beats socks....

Some nice pieces from Leven Miniatures giving me a home for cavalry with a fort and tented camp, together with a Church and Cabin.


Baccus delivered a bunch of Infantry, cannon, officers and a whole bunch of extra Sioux. With a few days off until New Year, a good opportunity to move some of these through the painting queue and prep for 2022.

  1. Very nice Stu and some good reinforcements too, with the Leven Miniatures fort looking very impressive even in its raw state.

  4. It's all coming along very nicely Stu! I am reminded of the Pony Wars game we played at our last Tarawera gaming week, where Chris randomly came on with his US cavalry right next to the target Indian village, and spent the first few moves slaughtering the civilian inhabitants.....it's the kind of thing some gamers worry about in relation to Colonial era games.....!

  5. Great point Keith, I guess it's important to keep the GAME in warGAME and it is played in context. I am certainly conscious over this reading several of the so called battles in the Mid West, hence the more generic bases.

  6. I also thinking about Plains Wars and 6mm starting to convince me more and more than other scales. Santa was very generous to you ;)
