Playmobil is here to stay (in my games room) 75mm characters are easy to make and useful for skirmishing with a script

under construction!

Well, 2026 has become a highmark for customizing XVIII century units to wargame a la Charles Grant (or even “CHARGE”)… but with a twist… I am now a kind of Scriptmaster… the idea is to have a new game every time with the challenge for decisions (sometimes quick) and no definite “countries” or “nations”… just different colourcoated units with a flavour… allies can be changed… same unit as the Jagers one day are fielded with a group and the next with another… some with militia… guess you get the point.

Another shot of the “works”. Do not be mistaken it looks as 20 units of Infantry, 2 of would be Cavalry and 3 of Artillery… but the figures may swap roles quite easily.

Some characters… some of them are original GEOBRA PLAYMOBIL figures without need of customization at all… on the other hand you have on the second rank (extreme right) two Medicine Doctors and in the front rank the four figures on the right are Supplies Commisariat figures (Yes one is a woman!)

Those are spies or traitors or double agents… whatever denomination you like best!… very useful addition for the Scripts and acting quite impredictable! (Had fun making them!)

Two Queen’s and Three Kings (but of course depending on the game minus crown and sceptre they can become Dukes, Princes, Electors or whatever)… The Queen Elizabeth II from my Trooping the Colour set you are tired of seeing already… but would be present on some scripts too.
