Hello friends,
I´m creating a TYW Army in 28mm.
I choose the "Swedish-War"of the "Thirty Years War"!
Because “size matters” and my will to invest time and money I choose 28mm - and not the skirmish-level.
The next important question was about the size/strength of regiments.
A TYW regiment includes a Pike Block – and the relationship from Pikes and Shot was about 1:2.
But when does a Pike-block looks like a Pike-Block?
After some simulations I choose 12 pikemen as the minimum-limit.
12 pikemen means 24 shot with an additional HQ Section – officer, drummer, sergeants – this means 40 Figures.
And which maneuvers a regiment should be able to form?
A classic form of shot, pike, shot, a line of fire, some kind of attack wedge, a square …
Because of the look and the (in my eyes) lack of necessity to form a pike-line - I want to choose a massive pike-block-stand.
Because of the necessity to move my regiments on the gaming table - I want to choose for the shot a 4-stand solution - 2x8-Figures-stands and 2x4-figures stands. (see Formations)
Thank You for watching!
Cheers
Achim
