    Wow...what potential. Citizens always get in the way of the Army! Maybe there is a spy or deserter plying his or her trade on the cobble stones of the market place. Nice set of merchants, Paul.

    Thanks jay :-D
    Exactly what I think!! Civilians are missing in a lot of wargames...it seems as if the battles are taking place in a "battlefield reserve"...only military personel allowed. Civilians are a necessity...for me..for "getting in the way", spying, camp followers, extra defenders for say a town..(militias).
    What Strelets and linear-b are doing I can only applaud...the more the merrier.
    Cheers

    Sweet work, lots of conversion ideas here, even if they are collateral figures.

    Well done Paul

    Thanks :-D
    @Álvaro...I am going to build a new roman street..the buildings in the photo I made a long time ago and aren´t as good as they could be...they were made quickly to create a town. The other sets...most of the figs have been used for medievals now but I will get them again..mainly becuase there is a lot of other things I want to convert them to but also to create a Strelets roman town scene.

    That goose is a BIG one though!!!!! :-D


    Cheers
