New Toys

Lots of them – bucket loads – well almost!

I got back to the office today after a business trip away for a week. My desk was covered in mail. Apart from the four work related letters (I’ll deal with them Wednesday) I had some parcels. I received:

Painting and Wargaming Update

There has been a bit of a hiatus with this recently as the real world invaded and took up more time in the other world than I would have liked. As a result, I’ve really not managed any painting or gaming in the last couple of weeks. I have, however, managed to spend the odd [...]

I decided that the Battle of Leipzig worked as it was in 1813 when the Prussian rebuilding was finished and the later Prussian army was starting to approach its peak. 1813 also gave me the chance to [...]

The Confederation of the Rhine

The Confederation of the Rhine was born from the ashes of the Holy Roman Empire. Franz II was the last Holy Roman Emperor and he was forced by Napoleon to surrender his title and dissolve the Holy Roman Empire after his defeat at the Battle of Austerlitz fought out between France on one side and [...]

Confederation of the Rhine in 6mm

The first batch of figures for my upcoming Napoleonic project arrived yesterday. Enough figures for 6 battalions of infantry, two regiments of cavalry and a battery or two of artillery. I also ordered some generals and such. I’ve had a quick look through them and I am busting to start painting them. First thing, [...]

More on the Napoleonic Project

Figures for this? I was tempted to look at Baccus 6mm and I will likely use Baccus for other forces. However, for the project I decided to do the [...]
