...Actually, I think there was someone watching the thread as I posted it -- every time I would add a new post, I could see that someone (it wasn't me!) had just looked at the pictures attached to the previous post...

Having looked at some of your pics again, I was wondering if during your battles, did you have much trouble with your klickies falling over as they were moved to new positions?

Hi Don,

Ah, yes, the 'domino' problem  ;D

Sometimes the Klickies do topple, but actually, far less often than I sometimes think will be the case. I don't use bases or stands (as I've seen some folks do), but then the carpet on the room I use is quite flat and thus pretty stable. The floorboards underneath are slightly uneven, but not enough to cause serious problems.

I don't use stands or bases or anything because I want to be able to position all the figures as 'naturally' as I can. This does mean that sometimes they will fall over as I move them, or try to clamber over them from one side of the room to the other, but on the whole, I've been pretty lucky. I've never had a, shall we call it, 'seismic event' that lead to lots of Klickies falling over.

Of course now, having said that, the next time, I'm sure to be absolutely plagued by toppling figures!

Also, as I said, no kids (yet) to re-enact scenes from 'Godzilla,' and our cat is quite elderly and has no interest in anything that doesn't mean food, cuddling or a nice warm place to snooze.

Cheers,

AndrewL

Hi All,

Just a quick note to say that we will be moving house very soon, so I won't have time over the next few weeks to try to get my rules written down to share with you. But once we're in the new place (with more space for more knights!), I will make it a priority.

Cheers,

AndrewL

okay, good luck with your move.  I have always said that I plan to take 2 weeks vacation to move my house full of things... and I hope it is all moved by the time I get back. lol

So the Battle of PAARCHMAN Farm goes to Earl AUBREY, Earl WULFMAER, and Count REMIGIUS… Excess trust in unproven technology, insufficient numbers, and a failure to punch through between the cliff and the farmhouse (at least early on, maybe I missed it) sealed his fate.
