   Hey Lenny,

I’m guessing there will be instructions for these? somewhere? I love ‘em, and can’t wait to start building lots of ‘em too.

Instructions? I think it is fairly straight forward, but I can make some if you think there should be some. One of the keys of this standard is that however you make it, it should fit together. I don’t want people to think that there is a right way and wrong way to build the segments simple because I threw some together.

   On a side note - Are there any plans for a standard “standard”, for the King and his troops? I’d be interested in creating some custom shield designs. Just a thought.

Here’s how I think it would work: the show coordinator would, along with making sure the display looks kickass, might design and build a keep to go in the middle of the city (it would rest on 32baseplates, of course) - and would supply the main force of the city’s defences, as well as the King’s standard.

Other forces (ie, if the king is a Lion, and there are Black Falcon troops from one person’s supply) - could be considered mercenaries, or troops of another lord who has just sworn loyalty to the king.

Each new display (by area LUGs or other) - would then have their own king/lord/standard. I think it would be fun to develop a SCA-esque situation where different area LUGs have their own castle standard - ie, Florida people (like me a KK) would make our own that is based off something floridian, etc.

just an idea though.

-Lenny
