What an eye opener, the photos of the various battles were inspirational and set me on the path of this fantastic hobby that we are all addicted to. The Spencer Smith figures used in the SYW game were in particular eye catching and I vowed even then to own some someday. Well it’s only taken fifty years!</p><p>Having gotten round to it I decided instead to go for Prince August moulds and cast my own rather than Spencer Smith as I, like so many of us have lots of lead figures lying around which will never get painted and can be put to better use.</p><p>So for the first time here are a couple of photos of the figures, in this case painted up as the Kaiser Rgt 1757.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCiks0NKjLNw3qGcmHq1_Sos7auGNQ8H2E2HKKUeyQJFOm8IURFeiPHi7m4jfKW-duahsrXmpD3Euz0zK4w1lfVbjb4ZZpdDmCExyATztIJfQM2I4EZzh92Ftah7Ipj8bGrduGsymxqUr1KxHDaRqGRk3vWdWl3Xmwd8-ee_0Hxsp3EEoNoJfdqe8meY/s4032/IMG_0889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCiks0NKjLNw3qGcmHq1_Sos7auGNQ8H2E2HKKUeyQJFOm8IURFeiPHi7m4jfKW-duahsrXmpD3Euz0zK4w1lfVbjb4ZZpdDmCExyATztIJfQM2I4EZzh92Ftah7Ipj8bGrduGsymxqUr1KxHDaRqGRk3vWdWl3Xmwd8-ee_0Hxsp3EEoNoJfdqe8meY/w480-h640/IMG_0889.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kaiser Rgt 1757</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDUOIAMmH1_5MaySGF_xysMoawZTh2UNASB7snaQ-Sy0bGlRomJkC4k32KMXU3Iv42lDTnZlMUAuaG2EifeHRG18HRCwbv7_T80IHkvmutM9aNq3CFJKlcM4R7PVf9cpX_jeKFt2KzkYWGbB-J96HABgBYXee5QzPcnxdvTI25ttXNE1I-r_RcTNBQHGc/s4032/IMG_0890.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDUOIAMmH1_5MaySGF_xysMoawZTh2UNASB7snaQ-Sy0bGlRomJkC4k32KMXU3Iv42lDTnZlMUAuaG2EifeHRG18HRCwbv7_T80IHkvmutM9aNq3CFJKlcM4R7PVf9cpX_jeKFt2KzkYWGbB-J96HABgBYXee5QzPcnxdvTI25ttXNE1I-r_RcTNBQHGc/w480-h640/IMG_0890.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Prince August 40mm castings</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifszg6ndBQm6PhWuzo9oGwkrpeIeqeMfZ8lmoBlKBDNdsi-VGKiK5XcqyJ3-bv_9n_w7N1UbxgeaRBGC3I9gk4NbmjvF81b0HYt87X2zitT1nedwXkWqauL07suYXNx2xbIg1Z7zOonKhiqVPz95R1o9sTp9UfBvAtFQPvp20imQ5Qol3fLnWYR823T8k/s1400/The%20Wargame%20book%20cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifszg6ndBQm6PhWuzo9oGwkrpeIeqeMfZ8lmoBlKBDNdsi-VGKiK5XcqyJ3-bv_9n_w7N1UbxgeaRBGC3I9gk4NbmjvF81b0HYt87X2zitT1nedwXkWqauL07suYXNx2xbIg1Z7zOonKhiqVPz95R1o9sTp9UfBvAtFQPvp20imQ5Qol3fLnWYR823T8k/w458-h640/The%20Wargame%20book%20cover.jpg" width="458" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The book that inspired it all.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Plenty of old lead left, artillery and Prussians maybe.</p><p>Dave.</p>Dave Huntley (sheepman)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14728830987896678578noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435533278284919252.post-71807614595585092052024-01-28T12:07:00.001+00:002024-01-28T12:07:13.449+00:0010mm War of Spanish Succession re-basing.<p>Been a while since I have posted, I find it somewhat unproductive and time consuming but as I've said many times before I do it to keep a record of what I do in the hobby to look back on in my rapidly advancing senile years!</p><p>So yep that old chestnut, re-basing. The 10mm WSS collection has been around for quite a few years as can be seen if you look at previous posts in that particular section of the blog. However I tried Black Powder and hated it, I even tried adapting General de Armee with limited success and the large bases I had them on large bases which limits what I can do with them. Add to that is that my 10mm basing for every period is now the same to enable me to game on a 7' x 4' table at a decent scale means that I had to bite the bullet with the WSS figures.</p><p>In a practical sense this meant stripping them off the bases they were on, cutting new ones 3cm x 2.5cm, gluing two dice holders and one pin on the three battalion stands. Because large battalions were being split up into smaller 30 figure battalions this of course required a great many more command strips and as 90% are Old Glory this meant painting the flags onto the castings, a pain but worth it in the end.</p><p>So here are the allied foot for Blenheim, horse still to do and then the French. No way was I going to photograph each and every battalion but there's a picture of the whole lot at the end.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I know, Austrians in 1866 predominantly wore the greatcoat but if anyone thinks I'm painting up two separate armies for each war then they are living on a different planet to me!</p><p>On a sadder note many of these figures were swapped/given to me by my dear friend Mr Tom Nutt. Tom passed away recently and I consider my addition to and completion of this force my own small tribute to a good friend and wargame enthusiast. Tom was ex army, absolutely knew his stuff and was a mine of detailed information about all aspects of military history but particularly known for his three volume books Franco Prussian War (1870-1871) Uniform Painting Guides covering all of the weapons, organisation and uniforms for that conflict. You won't find a better more comprehensive aid to this period than this. I'm not sure who carries it now but try Rob Anderson at <a href="https://www.paintinghistory.co.uk/" target="_blank">Northumbrian Painting Services</a> he may know.</p><p>I could tell so many tales of Tom but suffice to say he will be missed by all.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyXqFtU-nZ6b7RzoxS6h7mNtNhAjsYmalnF-hPqm-ykpv7JwIfOStsTqwBvl83ml5ozbEIu0MEkGMHyW-CaUGsThiqNpcqCIalHBx-xOr0mK0-oUOeKqee-7uEw37H-6lImSU53Y1KdLI7HCi0VCVW-U25oadLTgO8B1a7W-EQCbCRyJKs3aSGzDsz-0/s842/Tom%20Nutt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyyXqFtU-nZ6b7RzoxS6h7mNtNhAjsYmalnF-hPqm-ykpv7JwIfOStsTqwBvl83ml5ozbEIu0MEkGMHyW-CaUGsThiqNpcqCIalHBx-xOr0mK0-oUOeKqee-7uEw37H-6lImSU53Y1KdLI7HCi0VCVW-U25oadLTgO8B1a7W-EQCbCRyJKs3aSGzDsz-0/w365-h400/Tom%20Nutt.jpg" width="365" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tom Nutt.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>In total there are three Austrian corps, III, IX and XI organised for the Age of Valor rules, basically Fire and Fury but can of course be used for the excellent Bloody Big Battles set.

I am soon to complete a huge 15mm Austrian 1859/66 army but more of that in another post.</p><p>In the meantime I have finally bitten the bullet and have begun constructing and painting both sides of the Anglo Dutch wars sailing ships purchased from Langton Miniatures about three years ago which have lain neglected in a box since then. There are about twenty of these beautiful models to do and I must admit to being somewhat daunted about beginning this particular project. If I say so I can paint figures to a good standard, I'm not immodest that way but hey there you go, but I'm a crap modeler, no two ways about it I hate making houses, terrain and bloody ships! I have done some in the past and did a reasonable job but I must say that I didn't really enjoy it. The end result was fine, love the end result but man the process of fiddling on doing sails, shrouds, ratlines etc does my head in. So there I sat looking at twenty fantastic Langton models knowing what must be done, well here is the first.</p><p>She is HMS Prince, built in 1670 a one hundred gun 1st rate and during the Third Anglo Dutch War served as the flagship of The Lord High Admiral The Duke of York.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOAnJW-pB3DL5kvMrgtyod_AFPQxx4_SiUDqsyOMUT47i96AkSwS6NbGbYz0vjMLUmXLLZGb05ZvJISDzC-Wqdvs2gQXP53ONYZo20CqnU-GfhwpFdsFA5mrjMm5qXvmTiTGsHyDQq458Yo_lAL369Ez8VDRIoVSsADApnQyKHiys18XFH_vlrPAvhH0/s3391/DSC_6336.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2215" data-original-width="3391" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOAnJW-pB3DL5kvMrgtyod_AFPQxx4_SiUDqsyOMUT47i96AkSwS6NbGbYz0vjMLUmXLLZGb05ZvJISDzC-Wqdvs2gQXP53ONYZo20CqnU-GfhwpFdsFA5mrjMm5qXvmTiTGsHyDQq458Yo_lAL369Ez8VDRIoVSsADApnQyKHiys18XFH_vlrPAvhH0/w640-h418/DSC_6336.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqK3buW1gUuUURDFLIjaqz_gvglt64Tlsur21Qg_og1iDIDWuqj1Wi-C-ppXC8iKOymAJBBHYxHfLirqGdnhrku4mBP0rZr2HQw4csvJHZHojodjNlVqfdu49Lxdf_g_n6IdMHGTlwXMxBjfWj6BJ5p7-x2WvlsA7WzRR4E6U5m2Zm_2w2mGj419uVE2Q/s2499/DSC_6337.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2499" data-original-width="2413" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqK3buW1gUuUURDFLIjaqz_gvglt64Tlsur21Qg_og1iDIDWuqj1Wi-C-ppXC8iKOymAJBBHYxHfLirqGdnhrku4mBP0rZr2HQw4csvJHZHojodjNlVqfdu49Lxdf_g_n6IdMHGTlwXMxBjfWj6BJ5p7-x2WvlsA7WzRR4E6U5m2Zm_2w2mGj419uVE2Q/w618-h640/DSC_6337.JPG" width="618" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm4Xu6CL_M3vLc2KBy4f9WRGdb-jlbJzRwaFSi9-aWAulu8Ob3LOte61AJ6T0RCCJE8FCxXgax4PVLtBSU387NTks_XplYCROlUj6K3lZszPlAk08QXClxOPgtyi7VpX_uM3FtO558_AjVdsR7Rk0sngQaAkje71iOR5rmWKVoKSFzQQO395JRzSf2cmQ/s3758/DSC_6338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2549" data-original-width="3758" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm4Xu6CL_M3vLc2KBy4f9WRGdb-jlbJzRwaFSi9-aWAulu8Ob3LOte61AJ6T0RCCJE8FCxXgax4PVLtBSU387NTks_XplYCROlUj6K3lZszPlAk08QXClxOPgtyi7VpX_uM3FtO558_AjVdsR7Rk0sngQaAkje71iOR5rmWKVoKSFzQQO395JRzSf2cmQ/w640-h434/DSC_6338.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg662lMhXOjlFBquEoTyS8S2KcPsb2dPt0YpgAj6U0dv4CVWedgg_3hTM8vUTliK672DOiwUazhG9lpZ7DRNSaTstjKgeGLrXzOC9tBRZJ79gBz9p1wwKxxn-p2AtuGMv-eQukmEy1quwdFgWk6xj3h0ToogLqtrELuy-V2ags36zuV8oeWBRbuwtBzLQI/s3515/DSC_6339.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2361" data-original-width="3515" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg662lMhXOjlFBquEoTyS8S2KcPsb2dPt0YpgAj6U0dv4CVWedgg_3hTM8vUTliK672DOiwUazhG9lpZ7DRNSaTstjKgeGLrXzOC9tBRZJ79gBz9p1wwKxxn-p2AtuGMv-eQukmEy1quwdFgWk6xj3h0ToogLqtrELuy-V2ags36zuV8oeWBRbuwtBzLQI/w640-h430/DSC_6339.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Still learning as I go so a few mistakes but not too bad. The rigging is kept to a minimum as it is a wargaming model plus I haven't the skill or patience to do more. I had asked Rob Anderson of <a href="https://www.paintinghistory.co.uk/">Northumbrian Painting Services</a> to rig the ships when I finished just to piss him off cause I know he hates it but as I seem to have drilled the holes for the rat lines just behind the shrouds I have modelled the ratlines with brass wire myself.

This is well doable given that I have hundreds of the chaps painted up but not of course Wurttemberg figures, plenty not painted but, hey I've gone this far so why not!</p><p>So here is the Wurttemberg Field Division with some of the artillery required, a few more batteries still to do. Outpost infantry and cavalry, Old Glory 15's guns.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wVF5vp2USmjFvhwLTljAc0pW5IolhmjvrgpazwJ5xwcAdZ07uH-b2hxAWu2gvGp9kcgTHiRVIs_DkCLpx6oELs9lZHE5lwyfQASkityjWDKv4VmCLz8MWrtlytIT5oSnRZoXRqIfbXjcJSivZqXjPJEArQVDPGUr0F37t-yPNF2xgs66nA-OjO3N/s4507/DSC_6322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1903" data-original-width="4507" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wVF5vp2USmjFvhwLTljAc0pW5IolhmjvrgpazwJ5xwcAdZ07uH-b2hxAWu2gvGp9kcgTHiRVIs_DkCLpx6oELs9lZHE5lwyfQASkityjWDKv4VmCLz8MWrtlytIT5oSnRZoXRqIfbXjcJSivZqXjPJEArQVDPGUr0F37t-yPNF2xgs66nA-OjO3N/w640-h270/DSC_6322.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFjpFoEM9btUJyt-V9t5xBgoSFoRnt6577YigPQ31UiSGBNRQYAmi2Co0QgYIBH7pANHmxqZJGluGZkSlKlh3Uuu1QoU2DxEQ7Jw8QG9qEBfRnq7yMKaJMWUDgMnFJA8aXF3eda3A8Iyx7dzd3wS5wdNg6D7Oi_D4x6tjJwyKP3VfWdkQK2c8R2Hug/s4436/DSC_6323.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2188" data-original-width="4436" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFjpFoEM9btUJyt-V9t5xBgoSFoRnt6577YigPQ31UiSGBNRQYAmi2Co0QgYIBH7pANHmxqZJGluGZkSlKlh3Uuu1QoU2DxEQ7Jw8QG9qEBfRnq7yMKaJMWUDgMnFJA8aXF3eda3A8Iyx7dzd3wS5wdNg6D7Oi_D4x6tjJwyKP3VfWdkQK2c8R2Hug/w640-h316/DSC_6323.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S1YkA4x3PxpCvT4p8si-Lxhe2-BrErVosIdq8CZkkmrrK6-Ufx37QwtRiqSO_StzELGyL4jXsc1B_sTkQyc8kWr-v3TBHYaF10Euo1glGHDsQQRaQzj6M8Oq25zWHHRBUOTiFeXYS4Sr2NzctJboP2EvX7imbuKgHcd7hAz6pWc4ppvHBEpt74Uk/s4199/DSC_6324.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2307" data-original-width="4199" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S1YkA4x3PxpCvT4p8si-Lxhe2-BrErVosIdq8CZkkmrrK6-Ufx37QwtRiqSO_StzELGyL4jXsc1B_sTkQyc8kWr-v3TBHYaF10Euo1glGHDsQQRaQzj6M8Oq25zWHHRBUOTiFeXYS4Sr2NzctJboP2EvX7imbuKgHcd7hAz6pWc4ppvHBEpt74Uk/w640-h352/DSC_6324.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIbijdQxbiZWGYwn-15WYaLlukRqdlLkfNGxid3mubcBs80qgPIHQa8jVs2Y4ng4qwriVxobOQj1t9aV0OnEX_JQLfUu3iB4ki-VJonSZBRlpnlu38si0t0m9-nNlpfGM6ZxDyTSNo1y1jqptuX6fX7EEOMwxMG6Y6c5mBRFRzxezCB5WyBzxPI4b/s4271/DSC_6325.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2233" data-original-width="4271" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNIbijdQxbiZWGYwn-15WYaLlukRqdlLkfNGxid3mubcBs80qgPIHQa8jVs2Y4ng4qwriVxobOQj1t9aV0OnEX_JQLfUu3iB4ki-VJonSZBRlpnlu38si0t0m9-nNlpfGM6ZxDyTSNo1y1jqptuX6fX7EEOMwxMG6Y6c5mBRFRzxezCB5WyBzxPI4b/w640-h334/DSC_6325.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Dave.</p>Dave Huntley (sheepman)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14728830987896678578noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435533278284919252.post-33533047911871772572023-01-26T12:59:00.001+00:002023-01-26T12:59:10.943+00:00Crecy period French mounted Knights<p> Dug these Old Glory 28mm figures out of the box last week and painted them up.

I, like everyone have their own preferences related to wargaming, I like well painted figures but am not so snobby as to being bothered by what others can manage to paint up (draw the line at unpainted however). I will give most rules a fair go but period feel and ease of play are preferable to adding up columns of plusses and negatives. I do love good looking terrain, having a realistic table top to shove those well painted figures around comes pretty high on my should have list. What floats some peoples boats doesn't necessarily float mine and of course vice versa, priorities in gaming are rightly different for each of us and so it should be. It would be a boring old life if that weren't the case.</p><p>For some people the historical feel of the game, the flow of the rules and the end result is everything but the look doesn't matter. For others lining up thousands of 28mm Napoleonic figures from one side of the table to the other has them squealing with delight. It takes them three hours to set it all up, the ten people invited roll dice to no tactical purpose what so ever and they spend the rest of the day packing it all away again. Really?</p><p>Now to my point, I have looked at the Bloody Big Battles rules set for a number of years now. I have plenty of 15mm Franco Prussian War figures, more Austrians half painted up and I love the period. I have not really settled on a set of rules that I love. I tried the adapted version of Fire and Fury years ago and still want to try Age of Valour which is Fire and Fury based, I even attempted to adapt General de Armee/Pickets Charge to the FPW period <a href="http://thenorthumbrianwargamer.blogspot.com/search/label/15mm%20Franco%20Prussian%20War">see here</a> and found quickly that rule writing isn't my forte!</p><p>So back to Bloody Big Battles. I checked out the internet, forums, blogs and of course the page dedicated to the rules, enthusiasm abounded regarding the playing and feel of the rule set but here is the nub, every photograph of games being played looked crap! bits of felt, rivers and roads that didn't connect. I know, I know Dave you snob I can here you all saying and well maybe yes but only to my own preferences as stated above, the people likely had a great time and good for them.</p><p>So I got over my own prejudice, finally bought the rules and boy am I glad that I did. Neal and I have only played them for one scenario Froeschwiller 1870 but they are great. Again based on the Fire and Fury system the rules are historically accurate, flow well and just, well, feel right. I won't go into too much detail but for instance, you look at a potential 12" move for infantry and initially think that's a long way in this scale but terrain slows you, your movement die roll may affect you and then if your opponent decides to fire at you he/she can pick any point during your advance at which to commence fire. If you don't reduce the enemies fire power then there is a high likelihood that your unit will at best be pinned in situ getting the proverbial s***e kicked out of it. Cleaver stuff.</p><p>Excellent rules, particularly for large encounters, hence the name!</p><p>Here's a few photographs:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincYkCllVspdS3JdAK_fx0noi6ds46OUswSM8HQwJccFL5jd2VIt1FLGMrZeViEjPS6BSn0c1tPMppCdy2LahJgiOsNzxIs9UNeuMMAoc0CjPTXdlirILOi6_OcLR1U7_HvrgBMllREx7UGJB7GcyTYBK9zg5aXVH54KGdQ723qDKMdj8ps1nPviuM/s3695/IMG_0728.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Fighting both sides was fine but photographing and writing it up for this blog made it a bit of work but work which I have enjoyed. I may have over egged the pudding as they say in how in depth the report was but as I have said in the past I do this sort of write up so that in my more senior years I may have something to look back on!</p><p>General De Armee is a great set of rules with which to fight a battle with on this scale, if I had a criticism then it would be that I feel sometimes brigades in a force are able to do things all at once most of the time. I know a 'Hesitant' brigade result restricts things but I still was able to push forward two divisions towards the Russians for most of the time. Some way of being forced to hold a brigade or two back would be better.</p><p>The other thing is that the charge, melee system and skirmish are a bit clunky, when written this set of rules was the best thing I had found that IMO represented Napoleonic warfare up to that point in time. I believe David Brown is working through improvements in those systems and hopefully will publish a second version of the rules.</p><p>The rule set Soldiers of Napoleon is really good for a couple of brigades each (and handles skirmishers particularly well) but would not manage a battle of the size I have just covered.</p><p>Many thanks to those of you dedicated enough to have ploughed through all of my ramblings, goodness knows what I will do next but for now I'm off to lay down!</p><p>Dave.</p>Dave Huntley (sheepman)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14728830987896678578noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435533278284919252.post-21119006276738664232022-09-16T12:51:00.003+00:002022-09-16T12:51:46.766+00:00Pt 5 Shevradino redoubt 13.00 - 15.00 hrs.<p> After four hrs of fighting both sides are exhausted, having suffered great loss, there is still an opportunity for a French breakthrough on their left centre and artillery is in place to attrite the Russians.</p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I therefore sent to Baccus for their 6mm figures and mounted them on a separate round base so that they could be used as representations of the guns. They fit in well and yet the size difference between the two figure scales shows that this is a marker which can be added to the unit as required.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifIskUZ0AjxFQGewLdRmZY6DStqrHUAUqbUGEDPShBnsRmdISwwM1I0ggmGcoNduseDxZ40xdxpeNx9lkdnj5-93RcxqGeAngt4zz_0WGOPYZHFAQkiOEuVhuvERrotyJwqtVJwFhOjHNSP9Xp7eOFvzRXZPI957rgCoj_sO7otoGBsXJ_iDI_Txtu/s3595/DSC_6296.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I did have a bit of a head start with the rebasing of my 'Blucher' rules based figures but I have added considerable numbers to the original collection to get to this point. Now of course before anyone comes on and says nothing is ever finished in a wargame collection, well of course you are right. However I do feel at a point where there are two fairly well matched sides both of whom have enough unit types to vary things a bit if I so wish.</p><p>I have said this before but it's worth repeating that if I were starting wargaming again I would go for 10mm for set piece games and keep 28mm for skirmish. My 7' by 4' table just won't cope with a medium size 28mm battle and leave any room for anything other than line em up, roll the dice and knock em down type games which I hate. 10mm with reduced scales allow a good spacious game with plenty of manoeuvring room which makes you think a bit!</p><p><br /></p><p>The OOB's were sourced from various places and as is always the case everyone was different so a little bit of compromise has to take place. Obviously one from the beginning of the campaign is going to be considerably different from one from say Borodino and I don't want to be stuck with just 1812 but would like to move the collection on into 1813/14 as well. The figures are a mix of Pendraken, Old Glory and Magister Militum which at this scale mix together fine.</p><p> <b>The Russians.</b></p><p>There are thirty battalions of foot, fourteen regiments of cavalry, eight batteries of guns with command and skirmish bases thrown in.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Yeh, tight! But only on the odd occasion have I been in a position to start a wargame project totally from scratch, I have usually relied on at best other people wanting to get rid of figures and giving/selling them cheap to me God bless em so didn't rely on orders of battle but just used what was available and maybe added a few units to make them about right.</p><p>But with these 10mm Napoleonic 1812 figures I did decide to sell my 15mm stuff to fund this lot from scratch so could therefore look at various OOBs and go from there. Where dear reader is this all going, well it is telling you that I have always assumed in my ignorance that generally with the French only the cavalry brigades had the horse artillery attached with maybe a couple in the corp reserve. Shit there's loads, each division had one foot and one horse battery attached. So I had to paint them didn't I.</p><p>Here is a photo of one, I have done six of these plus one 12lb and some limbers so I'm sick of bloody artillery for now.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjCWS_4sUL7zbYgrPGIVOqf7OiHw3RIEQdsnApt9i92tU7HXrz9jtJayC39YBTSsp6sn_TagLYYeCyxo_fzW-QMAFYvO85fneBhI4PFaIn2tiompfN1DhcrJUxgC6XByTX0FbjWQlKWD11OWP3mRylR7uiYZEBkl6VzSaeEJj1-1yVTkt8SXFdJoGtT=s3413" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2407" data-original-width="3413" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjCWS_4sUL7zbYgrPGIVOqf7OiHw3RIEQdsnApt9i92tU7HXrz9jtJayC39YBTSsp6sn_TagLYYeCyxo_fzW-QMAFYvO85fneBhI4PFaIn2tiompfN1DhcrJUxgC6XByTX0FbjWQlKWD11OWP3mRylR7uiYZEBkl6VzSaeEJj1-1yVTkt8SXFdJoGtT=w640-h452" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjP_HxT71-yPw1Ftk3FKMrNV0qEZ8kMHpAB-vstaQBjklt0JKXq2czmEn7vWpYhmLwNeMrOmeOcLVPWRFgsP-bwSzVAinUVTle_smTg-0AWYkbyHWkpV8_VwxkwjyeKW9wKARrXjqFgcgBzGhQZPz1ewH-KdoeephPkIiocjeddSG2wnmqZjMSyvWpb=s4173" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2750" data-original-width="4173" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjP_HxT71-yPw1Ftk3FKMrNV0qEZ8kMHpAB-vstaQBjklt0JKXq2czmEn7vWpYhmLwNeMrOmeOcLVPWRFgsP-bwSzVAinUVTle_smTg-0AWYkbyHWkpV8_VwxkwjyeKW9wKARrXjqFgcgBzGhQZPz1ewH-KdoeephPkIiocjeddSG2wnmqZjMSyvWpb=w640-h422" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiq1ss6d87PruWwcdPa_jwIaoAdtWdAqSxmaf_HuPKGV-9k594usCktB0uTuzU7WOHfOBzmtthWv3Qma7LofT1156dsDUIA-KlcbAndb9fjEDgnj2I-khLd8Y7iUM-UBGiQnukWl9miKbQpBCDBWOpWbFq_cU6h5f57VDWILdm9ttyZf5SZxE73Vy0C=s3774" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="3774" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiq1ss6d87PruWwcdPa_jwIaoAdtWdAqSxmaf_HuPKGV-9k594usCktB0uTuzU7WOHfOBzmtthWv3Qma7LofT1156dsDUIA-KlcbAndb9fjEDgnj2I-khLd8Y7iUM-UBGiQnukWl9miKbQpBCDBWOpWbFq_cU6h5f57VDWILdm9ttyZf5SZxE73Vy0C=w640-h474" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>French light infantry next.</p><p>Dave.</p>Dave Huntley (sheepman)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14728830987896678578noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435533278284919252.post-64158789849860282282022-02-06T11:10:00.004+00:002022-02-06T11:10:58.304+00:0010mm ECW progress<p> We intend to have a practice game of the For King and Parliament rules at the club <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/borderreiverswargamessociety/Home">Here</a> next month and I kind of said I'd get a few more units done to complement Mick's 10mm collection.
