Meeple Organization

So, true to my word, I ordered a bunch more meeples, small 15mm ones and Carcassonne-sized ones. I'm going to organize them in the 'XXX Rampant' manner, in groups of six and twelve. 

I have 12x cavalry in three colours, blue, green and red, these all will be organized to units of 6 figures, each with a lance and shield, to represent heavy cavalry. I have grey and brown meeples (also I can lift some more from a Carcassonne box) for medium and light cavalry troopers.

In total I have 80 infantry per these three colours and 50 more in yellow, and another few in white and beige. The 80 figure lots are going to have 8 banner bearers, and 2x12 figures of heavy, medium and missile infantry each. I'm not sure about the yellows yet, we shall see.

A Return to Meeple Warfare

While trying to get things on the Super Cheap side, for other real life reasons, I thought more about the planned Lion/Dragon Rampant project, and in the end decided to use my existing army of meeples instead of purchasing more figs, to save space and cost.

So I'm going to buy a few more meeples to complement the existing lot, and perhaps one more container to house the whole thing.

I'll also upgrade the meeples' weaponry with tooth pick bows, spears and coffe stirrer shields. This shall be a minor project that would result in playable armies in no time.
