Here comes the Norsemen! Viking Project
Entry 3: Feudal Patrol
It’s been a while as painting continues with the Vikings. As they are being painted; let’s talk about Feudal Patrol.
The following video explains it a bit but this was when I was doing my Feudal Japanese play through that involved samurai and ashigaru.
The gist of it; is that the game is split into several levels; elements, war bands, battle groups and the army. Each has their own leaders. An element is a unit of 6 and one of them is a leader. A war band leader commands up to 4 elements and he can swap his activation dice with anyone under this command as long as that number has not came up. The same goes the further up we go; a battle group has up to 4 war bands and an army has 4 battle groups. In theory, I can field 64 elements for a total of 384 miniatures; not including leaders. Maybe by next week, I can show you the first 54 Vikings fully finished; bows stringed and decals on the shields applied and clear coated.
