Franco Prussian War Skirmish

Just some staged shots before a play test tomorrow.
Prussians assaulting a French occupied village.
Prussian artillery supporting the assault.
Prussian hussars and French chasseurs a cheval charging into the fray.
An heroic French officer leads an attack against Bavarian infantry
Stoic French Zouaves holding a key piece of terrain.

Pardon the indulgence, but I wanted to get some decent photos of the terrain and figures before the actual game. I invariably forget to take pictures during the game; and the ones that I do are usually blurry and out of focus. I will, however, post the game play and results afterwards. Until then, thanks for stopping by and best wishes to you all.

    1. Thanks, Michael. Since I had the table set up, figured I'd position the troops to see how they fill up the table. Kindest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Ray. Yes, I hope to. Haven't played Bolt Action in a while, so probably slow going anyway. :) Kindest regards, Dean

  10. Smashing looking set up! I especially like the shot of those brave Bavarians defending the bridge against those perfidious French.

  13. I like the idea of Franco-Prussian War Bolt Action. Sometimes you like figures and uniforms from a particular war but aren't committed to painting an entire army of it. This is a good way to dabble in a period without going broke.
