"Wellington's on the run! I caught him at Quatre Bras! He's retreating!"
"If Wellington is retreating, what are you doing here?!" Just a little Napoleonic teaser while I await more reinforcements from the Perry's.
As you may know, these are figures that I painted some years ago, but only gamed a few time in the past. I started out with Sharp Practice, but ended up with enough figures for Black Powder games. The Highlanders are Victrix and the French heavy cavalry are Perry's. In the background is a metal Perry RHA gun and crew - they took too long to get into the square.
The mat was a gift from Chris Hughes of Cigar Box Battle Mats. He played in two of my WotR Lion Rampant games a couple of months ago. Anyway, I'll be pulling the rest of the Napoleonics out of the cabinet to see how they fit on the gaming table in their newly "downsized" unit configuration. I hope to have enough manuever space for 6 players with about 5-6 units each on an 8X5' table.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jonathan. Yes, I'm currently re-basing a couple of stands - just trying to get the right look - kind of OCD. Kind regards, Dean

Thanks, Iain! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteNice units, would be good to see the whole collection on the table 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt. Yes, I will be posting images of the units - have to add a figure or two to several cav units to round them up to 8 figures first though. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThey look great Dean. I left my 28mm Napoleonics in the UK, maybe they can come over if I extend my visa past April.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a nice reunion, Scrivs! :) I'm pretty much focusing on plastic figures now. A few metals, like the RHA, but if available in plastic, I'm in. Much light for storage and transport. Fairly sturdy too, IMO. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteStunning units Dean. Those Highlanders are gobsmacking.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Curt. They are some of my favorites. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWhile generally Napoleonics don’t really get me excited yours do look ansolutely brilliant. I‘d actually look forward to see some more of these.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words! I am motivated to drive on with more Napoleonic projects. Warmest regards, Dean
