I guess my favorite would be #3 but I like #1 and #5 a lot too.  Of course I
would be happy to contribute to any of these.  Also remember we would like
to use some of the 2000 Castle sets as well.

With the idea above we could use King Leo's Castle and Bull's Attack as well
as a few of the smaller sets.

I guess the only thing that worries me about King Leo's Castle is is it going
to be underscaled compaired to the rest of the city?  I really don't know so
any input there would be helpful.


I plan on doubling the size of the market and I personally like these • sections
on the Tan 16x32 baseplates (gives a more worn look) plus I have quite a few
16x32 Tan baseplates so it is convinient for me.  I also want to try and • build
some rural houses/buildings as well so I might be able to contribute • something
there as well.

A 'market square' idea could be good.  That would give me space for my
travelling
players to set up.  (For those who didn't read my other post, I'm thinking
about a travelling troupe of actors, like the ones in _Hamlet_ or _Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead_ - a wagon laden down with stuff that transforms
into a stage, maybe a juggler to keep the crowd entertained between
performances, etc.)
This is where most of my peasantish bodies will probably be going, so I can't
contribute much else in the way of populace, unless the

white-shited
^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Bad Language alert! Bad Laguage alert! ;-).  See even typo's
can get you in touble.


green-vested
pirates look medieval enough to other folks.

I can probably also contribute some soldiers for the King - heck, on both
sides. If the Bulls are willing to spend the money, they can hire the
roughest, toughest, meanest bunch of mercenaries this side of the Carpathians
- the Wolfpack Heavy Infantry.  16 strong, and no two with the same face! I
could also whip up a seige engine or two for the beseiging army, including the
new 6032 Catapult Crusher.  (Although hopefully this will be after I complete
my catapult testing article...)

I think I could do up a section or two of town wall as well, maybe one with a
smaller secondary gate in it.  Hmm, here's a thought...I've got a spare Bull
with sewn-on eyepatch that I've outfitted with a Darth Maul cape & hood - he
looks quite the ruffian, or perhaps he's a spy who has slipped into the town
to bribe one of the King's less loyal soldiers?  The Wolfpack mercenaries and
a small squad of Bulls could be lying in wait outside the town until the
traitor opens the gate, allowing them to attack the castle from both
sides...you like?

Well if we are going to wall in the town I could do some sections if they are
gray.  I could probably even do a tower or two.

I like the whole sneak in the back way idea.  I also got an idea from someone
that E-mailed me.  What if the King in his Castle did not live in harmony with
the town folk.  We could have a scene with an angry Mob gathering getting ready
to storm the castle a la Dracula.

(...) Hmm...I think these two have the most possibility. Maybe one big castle, being beseiged by an enemy army, that is guarding the approach to the town. In the town, life goes on as usual...for now... (...) With the idea above we could use King (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)
