wow, that looks like a lot of work to set up and change for each scene.  i don't really understand military maneuvers, so i cannot appreciate the intricacies of your battle, but i do understand the gauze bandage side of war.  thank you for sharing your link.

Hi Kaethe,

Many thanks -- glad you liked it.

Yeah, it was a lot of 'work' setting up and moving all the figures each turn, then taking photos, but I enjoyed it (duh!). Don't worry: no understanding of medieval battlefield tactics required!

I think having the 'gauze bandage' (as you put it) side of things in there is important, though. I think I leave the casualties on the field, and do a bit of the 'aftermath' of these battles I conduct as a way of reminding myself that war is not a game. To be honest, that real human beings engaged in the kind of organised violence I try to emulate with little plastic figures flabbergasts me. Conducting these battles with Klickies is, in a weird way, partly an attempt to understand that aspect of the past.

Whoa! Started drifting off into darkly philosophical mode there... Sorry.

Anyway, thanks again for having a look and for your kind comments.

Cheers,

AndrewL

Indeed!  8}

On the downside, though, the element of surprise is somewhat lacking  :P

I really liked this battle, :rock:
I only wish I had enough klickies that I could really include some of the more elaborate tactics... ::)
But for now I am quite limited. (Space wise too.)
