HASTINGS960 HAS TAKEN OFF!
The Norman Conquest is proceeding faster than Duke William himself! After launching our call to arms, the wargaming community responded with incredible enthusiasm.
The Norman Conquest is proceeding faster than Duke William himself! After launching our call to arms, the wargaming community responded with incredible enthusiasm.
When we announced our ambition to recreate the Battle of Hastings at a 1-to-1 scale using 16,000 PaperBoys, we knew it was a colossal challenge. What we didn't anticipate was the sheer speed and passion of the wargaming community!
We are ecstatic to confirm that within a staggering 72 hours of posting our proposal, nearly all the necessary figure bases have been claimed by volunteer Master Miniaturists.
This overwhelmingly positive response ensures that HASTINGS960 is not only happening but is proceeding with incredible momentum and success!
Your dedication proves that large-scale, accessible wargaming is truly alive and well. Though the initial rush is over, the commitment to this grand and fantastic vision continues.
The Recruitment Form remains online for anyone eager to join the remaining ranks and help us complete the final formations!
