<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Pferdeort, post: 340823, member: 5630&quot;][USER=5954]@statcat[/USER] - do the tiles show any nicks or spots signifying the soldiers were hit by some type of projectile? Do you know any facts about the age of the tiles?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, can anyone identify whether the soldiers are painted onto the wood, some sort of painted material afixed to the wood or is it paper lithography? This information may help to identify the pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked at the photos again and it struck me that they do not have bases to support them when standing. I thought that maybe they would not need bases but then the thought of taking time to set up my soldiers strategically only to find my army wiped out by a dominoe affect made me decide that these may not be l&#039;Attaque pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also leads me to believe that the tiles were laid flat like dominoe tiles in a game of train (or a different dominoe game of your preference <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>This would mean the stand is an important piece of this puzzle. Maybe it is akin to a Scrabble game stand which holds the tiles a player has the option of placing on their turn.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is true then maybe the game plays similar to how a Scrabble player draws tiles to replace tiles they have played.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply some hunches. Maybe they will produce some leads.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
