Some weeks ago I noticed a comment about a fellow gamer that would use his Indian Mughal minis for the Pikeman´s Lament, as I didn´t know much about them I just had to read up a bit, while I was on it I put together a bunch of army lists for some of the conflicts in India during the 17th century. I by no means claim to be an expert in the area so please use them as inspiration and change them if you feel I missed something or used the wrong names for the troops. Anyway I hope you will have a good time in India with your War elephant...

Great lists!
ReplyDeleteNice work...som vanligt!
ReplyDeleteGreat additions to the list Michael.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteCreative use of the list for including War Elephant. The idea of multiple "Wound" creatures or Strenght points from Dragon Rampant certainly opens a lot of possibilities. Also, to paint one war elephant with riders - or maybe two to make it easy to track half strength - instead of the normal six man trotter unit - seems a lot of fun. :-)

Exelent list and great work on The Pikeman´s Lament!
ReplyDeleteMe poor credit card😣
ReplyDeleteAgain, a little off topic but would you mind listing your modifications for your Napoleonic games?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing we did was to exclurde the Pikes and let all Shot units have the Close Order special rules that the Pikes normaly have.
DeleteThanks Michael! Now, off to the Peninsula.
DeleteExcellent new lists, will be nice to see some elephants on the table.
