'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Leman]

Well, just laid out my 2mm Prussian army to see how it looks on the table with a few Brigade Models buildings. My first ever 2mm army ready for battle. Now I have to come up with my second 2mm army.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Austrians, all in whte, done!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ended up with an unexpected game on Thursday, so have assembled three whole extra units tonight, and three half units before I ran out of figures and/or bases. There may be a certain amount of proxying on Thursday!

Got distracted Sarurday started a mini project - 10mm Game of Thrones characters.

Haven't followed Game of Thrones but that is impressive

[Leman]

Looking at that lot Will I would be thinking a Thursday some time in late April.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Aiming for Early April, two more orders to come and add to this lot, including a 96 strong pike block!

[Leman]

Jeez! Well off for a bit of 15mm FPW action today using FOB2.

[Steve J]

Carried on prepping some Kreigspiel style blocks for use with Bloody Big Battles and Honours of War. Painting time is non existant at present so hoping these will give me my painting fix until things settle down a bit. Set up a Wissembourg table for tomorrows nights game, hopefully the start of a narrative FPW campaign using BBB as the rules and BBB, 1870 and Volley & Bayonet for info on the scenarios.

[Womble67]

Got a few bits done today

Take care

Progress! I love painting heavily armoured foot!

My poor French Guard got well rogered by the Prussian Guard. During the first turn of cards my entire grand battery of 12 pdrs was destroyed by the mass batteries of the Guard Korps Krupp batteries. The French never recovered from this as troops were moved around to try and plug gaps. Battle ended after the French had no more morale points (out of 16) and the original Prussian 22 points stood at 23. On the bright side the victor gave me a shed load of 2mm stuff he had no further use for - including the bulk of a sizeable 1859/70 French army.

Superb!

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That would be the unit of Ashugaru

[O Dinas Powys]

That would be the unit of Ashugaru

Nope! 

Hint: it's in one of the corners...

FogR has this concept of 'Great Commanders', so many of us use a BIG figure to show it! 

[Leman]

Of course, because everyone knows about the Bletchley Ashigaru in Henry's army - something to do with Shen Gen.

So even though you got a bum result it all ended without tears. Nice gain.

Weren't these on brown bases before?

Did you spray them white, then paint them black, then paint the armour silver? I think I would have just sprayed black then dry brushed silver for chaps in lots of armour.
