Nice to see the Edinburgh lads using God's true scale instead of those horrible 28mm monsters.  :P

Mind you I needent talk the Forfar club is just as bad for that, using 28mm for everything from skirmish to big Nappy battles.

Striking terrain and plenty of troops - my kind of game. But those needle-guns are killers!  :'(

Only one Corps on the table, two still in the boxes plus the entire RSA. I've made casualty bases which we use instead of markers etc, looks better and really easy to count (though a monumental pain to do on account of having to mod AWI casualties on account of there BEING NO 1866 AUSTRIAN ONES!!!!).
Ahem, I'm fine now thank you.

Hey Lemmey old fruit, how's the painting coming on?

Thanks for asking, maybe I should set up a blog...
Taking a break until next week as I knock off a quick 15mm competition at the beginning of  September! :)
25th Hessian Division is undercoated and ready to go apart from 6 command figures that I've only just got hold of...
Give 'em a month... ;-)
How's your projects going?

fantastic looking game and figures. Can I inquire as to the size of the infantry bases?

Just sending two brigades of French and lots (really lots) of limber horses to Fernando; organising big 1866 game up here in February, apart from that not muchg really, tend to do my geek stuff in the winter  ;D

thank you cameronian. They look great but that basing may be a bit to complicated for me, considering it.

Its easy, honestly, just email or phone the boys at FENRIS GAMES, old dockyard, Chatham and they'll laser cut 1.5mm ply to any size/number you want, cheap too.

Re the AAR report, Angus Konstam is a well known author with many Ospreys to his name though his magnum opus (and its bloody good) is Sovereigns of the Sea, the definitive history of the renaissance battleship.
