Title: Talavera Project
Post by: John Cook on 01 November 2022, 04:03:47 PM
I don't normally post images of my stuff and there are two reasons for this.  First, showing-off is so vulgar, don't you think?;)   Second, I don't like criticism.:D   However, I was rather pleased with these, so I took a pic with my smart phone.

They are three of the cavalry units from the Spanish Advance Guard, from my current Talavera project, and comprise from left to right 1-3 sqns Line Cavalry Regiment Calatrava,  1-4 Sqns Dragoon Regiment Villaviciosa and 1-3 sqns Cazadores Regiment de Espana.

Each squadron had two companies and were pretty weak compared with British and French.  One figure represents approximately 10 men.

I use Computer Strategies for all my games. If you are hooked on dice you won't like them :)  These are for the Napoleonic program Iron Duke.  You set the figure to men ratio and the ground scale to whatever you like.  1:10 gives units that look satisfactory, to me anyway.

Very nicely done, 1:10 is the way to go!

What width are the bases, because I'm looking at getting 4 figures to a base, hoping to stay within 30mm width to match existing rules.

Actually its not the vulgar showing off and criticism you should fear, its the hate from those of us who now have to replan their 1:20 (or 1:30 or ..) plans.    X_X  X_X  =D>

Hi Mark,  I allow 7mm frontage per infantry figure, 10mm per cavalry, 20mm per pair of skirmishers and 30mm for an artillery crew and piece.  So a four figure cavalry stand is 40mm wide.
