Title: New Commander for French WSS
Post by: sunjester on 19 July 2012, 04:22:10 PM
My WSS French and allies have got a new C-in-C. The Duc de Villars has taken command to sweep away the Germanic hordes, complete with personal coach, admiring mistress and fawning lackies.

For Photobucket images, you need to click the 'Share' button, and then 'Grab the HTML/BBCode', and then choose the 'BBCode' option at the bottom.  Copy all that code from the window, and paste it here.

Good stuff. Do the figures come with the carriage? If not what pack are they from?

It looks like:-

- Cavalry figure from MAL11.
- Mounted personality figure, possibly Von Seydlitz, SYW4?
- Then a couple of civilians from the SYW12 pack.
- Finally, two foot figures at port musket.

I reckon that's about right, Sunjester can probably confirm?

Love it!  Now I've got one of those tucked away somewhere, perhaps I'll fish it out and see if I can do half the job you have.

Thanks for the comments guys. :D

The coach actually has 4 horses but I could only fit two onto the base.

The General is from SYW1, his aide from a pack of SYW field officers, either SYB26 or SYF21.
The two guards are MAL4 and the mistress and lacky are from SYW12.

I see now how minor defeats turn into major disasters - all these fancy carriages blocking the line of retreat.  :D

If I can come with some rules I am going to do 18th century carriage racing through the streets of Paris - the red carriage of the Duc d'Ferrari, the Graf Mercedes, etc

I'm sure I've got soem Roman chariot racing rules somewhere that you could perhaps adapt.
