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.
This looks fabulous Phil.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these that I have slipped into painting along with 1/72nd counterparts. I plan to use them, perhaps, in a skirmish game, so nothing anywhere near as grand as you are doing. How will you scale it to make it feasible?
Really looking forward to watching this one develop.
James - thanks - My friend has a 25 foot table, which we are using for teh game, so I will just use 28mm distances and it should be Ok. It is a project that has been started and abandoned many times over the years - It is madness really and they take up far too much room...
ReplyDeleteLooking good Phil! Happy to see that they back on the field again :-)
