I really admire your determination in creating so beautiful Swiss squares. But, I wonder: how many tts units will one keil represent? Because, I mean, shouldn’t be necessary to own a bazillion minis to play Swiss with your rules...
So far it looks amazing! I love your preparation list, that's the professional job! Outstanding!

[Image]The project has slowed, slightly, in the face of the Tyranny that is Christmas Preparation. I've managed though, to finish 24 minis for a second Schweiz contingent, and 15 for a new Glarus contingent. Both are mainly in red, but Glarus have black and white accents. Many were painted by Shaun, but needed some overpainting as I didn't originally specify the correct colours- I've learned more about the Swiss as I go along with the project. I'm not going to base these, yet, because I want to incorporate some other minis from Shaun that aren't in cantonal colours, to mix things up a bit.[Image] Here's the plan I'm working from. The green-highlighted units are finished, the blue-highlighted are under way. The cantons are arranged very roughly in order of becoming independent, with the original Waldstätte ("forest") cantons in the first keil (1&2).

Slowed by your standards, but still excellent progress for we mere mortals!
Brilliant stuff.

Oh it's certainly not necessary to have this many Swiss- I just do it because I can. :-)

PS I've fought Swiss armies with around 180 minis, on a 15cm grid.
