Free Stuff for Gamers

Hi All,

I've been having a clean out of the old Canister & Grape website as I've run out of space on my hosting provider. The upside of this is I've collected together much of the various bits and pieces we've put together over time and organised it. Well sort of. Mostly.

Anyway, there is all sorts of stuff - generic campaign rules, flags, quick reference sheets, event cards, unit counters, scenarios and more. Feel free to take what you want and leave a comment or question if you like. Hopefully you'll find something of use!

I've added a permanent link on the RH menu and here's the link: http://canisterandgrape.blogspot.com.au/p/free-stuff-for-gamers.html

Cheers,
Millsy

Loyale Goodfolk of Ye Three Leggged Duck Publick House


Last of the ECW for now, this is a unit of ill-armed recruits. These are a combination of Redoubt miniatures, a single Essex miniature, a flag bearer from Renegade and some figs I can't identify, . The Redoubt are nicely animated but very oddly sculpted in terms of proportions, especially the heads and clothing. The flag was knocked together in Photoshop from free images found on the web.

The Loyale Goodfolk of Ye Three Leggged Duck Publick House are the patrons of a pub in Oxford and hence fiercely loyal to Thee Kyng, the more so the longer they have been drinking. Goodman Duck named the pub after the only resident of the pond behind his establishment, William Waddler the three legged duck.


ECW Artilley in 28mm

Still on the ECW, here is my artillery park composed of a master gunner in Colonel Richard Fielding, accompanied by a pair of falcons and a saker. These are all Redbout from memory. I've mixed the kits up quite a bit for variety. I'm planning to add a culverin and possibly a mortar at some stage.



Sir Gilbert Talbot's Regiment of Foote

Here's the last of the three painted foot, Sir Gilbert Talbot's Regiment of Foote in yellow coats. Again, these are mostly Renegade with a few fleaBay purchases of undeterminded manufacturer thrown in for variety. I'll play these as 16 x unarmoured raw pike with 2 x sleeves of 12 shotte.




I have a fourth and final unit on the painting table now, a green coated regiment that will most likey be fielded as Northampton's. I've done all the flags myself in Photoshop meaning I can do any of the captain's or senior officer's colours.

I'm also going to do a circular command base for each unit with the colonel, staff and his colour. These have no place in WECW but I've seen others do it and it finishes the unit off nicely. Maybe someone can enlighten me, I think this is something required in the Pike & Shotte rules?

Sir Allen Apsley's Regiment of Foote

Here's the next unit, Sir Allen Apsley's Regiment of Foote. Again, these are mostly Renegade with a few fleaBay purchases of undeterminded manufacturer thrown in for variety. I'll play these as 16 x unarmoured steady pike with 2 x sleeves of 12 shotte.
