Today, there was little hobby time, but I finally added a second Saxon catapult crew figure. The first one has been working the thing by himself for over a decade.

| The new crewman (in yellow) is simply a swordsman with broken sword whose sword arm has been reversed and his shield removed. Not terribly clever but really quick. |
The day before was cold and a little damp, just right for pondering wargame rules. The original games had been played using Medieval Mayhem, pretty much as printed in Battlegames magazine. These rules did not have fixed units, only adhoc groups.
Once I more than doubled the number of figures available to use, things changed and I moved to more conventional rules and scenarios with fixed units. This made the larger games easier to play but the narrative suffered and it was hard to do anything other than the same conventional scenarios that I was playing with my other collections. No wonder I stopped adding figures.
Over the last few days, I have hammered out a new version of Stout Hearts and Willing Swords, the rules I started developing for my Prince Valiant games in 2013 but only used a few times. Now I just have to work out the scenario, organize the forces and ..... play!
