ADLG: Theme Boundaries

When I wrote my Art de la Guerre (ADLG) list search tools I contacted various people to ask their advice. I received lots of helpful comments and some requests for specific search methods.

However, one person asked why I was doing this as the armies in ADLG v4 are already split into rigorous periods. As ADLG author Hervé Caille explained:

"All lists in the Feudal period now include only medium knights. Heavy knights are only present in the Medieval period. The Dark Ages period has no knights. Changes in ADLG v4, May 2021"

I have since uncovered a slight problem with this. Not with the lists themselves but the way they are used as broad themes in competitions.

Painting 15 mm White Horses

Painting white horses is an important technique for every wargamer to master because we all know that throughout history all important leaders "always" rode a white horse.

How every leader should look!

Cheap Paint - Nearly One Year On

In January this year I began using more and more craft paints.  They have some clear advantages and a few disadvantages but, used with these in mind, they offer lots of useful results.  Here's what I've found so far.

15 mm Early Medieval Polish Knights (Essex)

This post features something a little different: rebasing & reworked figures.  Normally I don't do either but since my work on my Wars of the Roses archers in January I've become more open to all sorts of rework.

These two bases (units in Art de la Guerre speak) are intended for my Feudal Russian army.   The ADLG list contains just two units of Polish Knights.  This is handy as I have quite a few spare from the days when I played DBMM and built a Polish/Lithuanian army with all the options.
