Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.

I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.
Dave.

15mm Franco Prussian Sharp Practice.

To be honest I'm cheating slightly, firstly as I completed this lot a couple of weeks back and secondly about half of these chaps were painted figures from a spares box left over from my main Franco Prussian collection so I only painted a few just lately. Still it keeps up my policy of maximising the use of figures I have anyway. Bloody tight you see, ah well, there you have it!
As you know I love Sharp Practice and though officially a 'musket' era set of rules I'm sure I can adapt them to stretch to the FPW.
For the moment here are the figures, Outpost by the way, not bad but you can get better and as I said they were lying around.

Four groups of formed Saxon infantry with two groups in their skirmish formation in front plus command figures of course:


Two groups of Jager:


Two groups of Dragoons:


Four groups of French line infantry:



Two groups of French line infantry in skirmish formation:


Two groups of Chasseurs:


Finally two groups of French lancers:

  1. Those are nice figures, are they Outpost? I had thought about doing SP2 with FPW but mainly attracted by the very nice 30mm Willie figures, although Spencer Smiths new FPW range would go nicely too. FPW also feels like a better match for the bloodiness of SP2 where 1 in 6 shots 'kills', an almost unheard level of accuracy. I look forward to seeing how they play.
