The Radio Times says that this series will be coming to BBC4 in the Spring . Can't wait as the clips someone posted last year via Youtube look great. Should be subtitles as well which I prefer.

 

Might be the incentive I need to finish my forces for this conflict.

As I have the Bruce Weigle books this will be of particular interest to me. I also have a cunning plan to game this with minimal effort, but details to follow later in the month...

Ohhh!
I'm on 3x30x40mm bases...
In case our forces ever meet!

I'll keep  an eye out for that.

An excuse to buy more Irregular 6mm Sardinians and this time paint them as Danes.

You've shrunk since we last met Will!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll get my coat...

*phut* Me? No. I was just ... testing it.

 

Anyone else fed up with the BBC saying that 1864 is coming soon? Just tell us when 

Sunday 16th May.

I've seen it and I can recommend it, as it was aired in Finland a while back. It caused quite a controversy back in Denmark as the producers are not creating a traditional "ooh, mr darcy" type costume drama, they are jumping back and forth between the present and the past and handling some of the historical Danish figures very roughly indeed.
Word of warning if you are looking for epic battle scenes - the series builds up towards the brutal stuff over six or so episodes.
Incidentally, I was at Copenhagen a few weeks ago, and they still had in the National Museum the Danish-German exhibition of the 1864 war. Especially interesting to see the 1850s vintage weapons both sides had - the Danes had muzzle loaders, while the Prussians had breech loaders.
Anyway, if you want to understand the mindset of the Danish nation, definitely worth a try. Spoiler alert: There is even a scene with Bismarck and Moltke enjoying a bit of Floor Gaming
