Title: The next random project - 28mm Franco-Prussian skirmish?!?
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 04 June 2023, 09:56:01 PM
The LB club like their 28mm skirmish rules, my forces are being assembled (one box of Perry plastics is done, the other will be done when I can face them, they're a tad fiddly) but I have finished the jump-off point that Too Fat Lardies rules appear to work from.

I was tempted to add the Imperial banner details, but I'm not sure whether we are going Imperial period or 3rd Republic?

28mm French for FPW Sharp Practise, figures by Perry, unit bases by Products for Wargames, as seen in action here.

First three groups of eight

I was going to prettify the unit bases, but looking at them, I like the unbased effect!

Really liked these to paint, building however?

Slight change to normal Sharp Practise - Age of Rifles uses 'Extended line' from 'Flexible drill' rule.

The rest without unit bases (next month's purchase)

Casulty bases for Sharp Practise 'Shock' markers, the space between the legs is perfect for a Pendraken 7mm die!

Hopefully, they never get higher than 1 shock?  ;D

Leadership bases from Sabotag3d, fits 25mm nicely.

Might have to buy pack 2 (7-12) if this project gains any traction at the club!

Chasseurs a Pied and the five extra figures from the orignal set that I had not got round to.
Including a bugler and a sergeant with pretensions of officer classes.

Not quite enough for the line to make an extra unit, but skirmishers are sixes in Sharp Practice, so two groups of those please.
