There are enough Elastolin and Merten figures with a handful of compatible odds and sods to fill out the Midlish army and it is starting to take on its own character which is not quite the English Bills and Bows I planned. Instead, the rather larger Meisterzinn sized English will form the core of the Imperial army along with some colourful mercenary pike and shot. I'll have a closer look at the knights, pikes and bows of the Midlish later.

The opposition for the next game will be the mixed army of Vikings, Picts, and weird things which I was originally going to ally with the Huns to represent the Northern Confederation but had decided to switch to the West folk since that is where the bear was from. However, the deeper I get, the less they look like the West folk and the less Prince Michael and his Valdurians seem like barbarian Northerners. So I have reverted to the original plan and put the Valdurians back in the northwest whence they came 40 years ago.

The shield adds something to the Elastolin figure in the Midlish City Pike Militia and I do like these chamfered edged bases- they have a solidity that straightforward mdf ones lack not to mention flair. Corvii are most spectacular and I do like their basing.
