I've been trying to sort out some sort of linked scenario set, including some historical events, to finish off the 1644 year. This is still a work in progress but I have made a start.
I've obtained a copy of 'Sieges of the Great Civil War' by Young and Emberton,
Nice little book with a good summary of some of the major sieges in the civil war.
For new additions to the forces of both sides I've been sorting through my remaining spare figures; have made up two units of commanded shot,
I also put to one side items to go towards conversions for clubmen, including 3 figures to represent the more well armed of them
Having a few pikemen leftover and some spare heads and other parts, I was looking for something to do with them. Warlord Games make a 28mm petard assault team,
so I'm going to try to replicate this in 40mm; will post some piccies of this modelling exercise as it progresses.

Interesting stuff. Looking forward to seeing where you take this Allan.
Excellent work. I look forward to seeing the petard team. I remember in the TV series By the Sword Divided there was a great petard scene when the Parliamentarians attack the castle. Might be worth looking at for more inspiration. There were 2 extra guys carrying support poles to prop the petard in place on the doors.
Both old Glory and redoubt do petardteams in 28mm - though I say it as shouldn't I like the Redoubt one as it included the chaps with the support beams

Thanks for the link, great little ECW action - petard setup scene really useful
