A second elephant has made it off the painting desk and into the battleline of my ancient Indian army. It feels good to add another base to the steadily growing collection. This one didn’t take that long to do.
I have two more elephants and crew in the prep stage, and one more in the lead pile somewhere. I’m thinking somewhere between 4 and 6 elephants will be enough to give me a good starting army for most rule sets.
Speaking of rules, I’m currently enjoying another read through Simon Miller’s To The Strongest! For my 20mm collections, a grid size of 120 or 130mm boxes should work quite well, which keeps the table size within about 5’ x 3’, if I use the recommended 12 x 8 boxes. I like the relative simplicity of the rules and the fact that the mechanics should work well for solo gaming. Not sure how I feel about having playing cards on the table, so I might go with the option of using dice or numbered tokens instead.
The two finished elephants together. I like the thought of a long line of these on the tabletop! It’s certainly a motivation to keep the project rolling forward.
