1809 Austrians

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Not Austrians, not Pendraken, but 10mm Chasseurs a Chevel gifted to me by a friend and rebased.






In black and white!

Nice stuff, Will !   

Cheers - Phil.

Division of FML Waber, 1809
18th, 21st and 28th Foot, ready to get beaten by Neil tonight as I trail 'Soldiers of Napoleon' that LB have been playing for a while.


Yes, I know Weber appears to be wearing a Hungarian Shako, but Bicorns never suited him!


~I also know the 28th are missing a colour, the figure will be in my next order!


Column of march, or march attack?


From the rear (if you look really carefully, can you spot the deserter?)


A second Chevelegeurex unit


I did edge all the flags, honest!





More artillery because...


BOOM!


Four hungarian skirmishers which have been sitting round annoying me for yonks!


I know its an Austrian drummer...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

And they lost!
Massie loss...

-1 for new troops, -1 for first time on table, -1 new rules. Added to my usual incompitence of not rolling the 5 or 6s I needed...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Austrian Cuirassiers by the brigade.
Unfortunately not Pendraken, suspect 10mm Old Glory by teh horse/saddle combination, they were oookkkay(ish), but I know whhat I would rather. Still, you can't look a gift Cuirassier in the mouth.
Would be tempted to swap for equivalent cost of Pendraken or raw Pendraken Austrian Cuirassiers figures, if anyone wants Old Glory

Waiting round to do something


Off we go


Nope, false alarm, everyone back!


Couple of commanders, one for everyday, one for my light cavalry brigade


Oi, you

[DecemDave]

Lovely stuff as ever.  You can never have enough cuirassiers even if you need to mobilise  them from different places.   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Missed an Austrian officer, so he's been brevit promoted to Brigade command!


And here he is running away!

[streetgang]

Brilliant work! That's quite the army you have! Love the dynamic basing and how they convey movement. I take it the MeG are from the Field of Glory family? Interesting.

It is a second cousin, twice removed. It shares an ancestor and writer

Fresh Austrian units, 6th Blankenstein Hussars.


CHARGE!


WIth the other Hussars and Chevauxlegers, it takes my light cavalry division up to three units.


Soon to be in action (I hope).


To be split up into detachments, Grenz


These might grow into a full unit too.


Skirmish line


Austrian skirmishers to be attached to line units, hence the different cuffs.


Hopefully hold back the French for a while?


Austrian line fillers, to bulk my units up to the equivalent of five base widths for Soldiers of Napoleon, which appears to be my club standard width.


Just to show how much one mounted officer can bulk the unit out.


Almost three ranks


Back view, now I just need to do three more Austrian units and three Hungarian units, need to order two more packs... LEEEEOOON!


Here they are en situ so you can see how they work.

[Shecky]

Nice!
