THINK BIG

It's been a while and I have had trouble logging in so let's see how this goes!
Just to recap - last time a ten year old was destroying my panzers on the outskirts of Prokhorovka. Things did improve slightly (follow a re-read of the rules) but it wasn't enough to change th eoutcome and it counts as a glorious victory for the Red Army - ZA RODINU ! - There are sadly no more pictures as the camera batteries were flat...

On to the next thing - A BIG game!
In honour of a friends birthday we are hoping to re-fight Waterloo in 54mm so have been painting stuff and dusting off old half finished units to see what I've got...


Not too shabby - more than I thought - most are going to need re-basing as they just fall over or are bit tatty.


Newly painted Dutch - A Call to Arms figures (flag from Warflags.com )


Opposition - Old Airfix figures - I started with these (in some case these actual figures) - the old paint has been removed a new coat slapped on.


French heavy cavalry.


Boney and his Guard - small unit; currently being expanded, Airfix & Italeri. The Guns are Irregular Miniatures.


He looks happy - probably still thinks he's going to win!


Guard from the rear.


Voltiguers; prone to falling over - Irregular and a couple of Britains'


French column advances, preceded by HaT Light Infantry.



Supported by light cavalry.


The thin red line awaits...


Just look at the height difference here - Airfix on left, 'Supreme' on right.
