There you are even grass added (but for a Regiment).
Maybe tomorrow I will be able to finish them… flags and all.
A real ordeal… I am getting too old for this… I lack the patience needed… sorely needed… next time it will be the usual painters… I am done with it myself!
Enjoy.

Maybe it is not the first time I post them (I seem to recollect have done so in the near past)…
But the painting job is really splendid!
And I have a soft spot for the scale.
Enjoy!

Ancients were a passion early on my days of wargaming, a classical education… plenty of books to read…
Plenty of lore and legend…
And above all the distance from it!
Later I could not stand close steel combat and found it too harsh!
Enjoy the pics!

There were pics also of the wargames table and the participants in the game… but somehow I find those atmospherical pics more inspiring…
I could be wrong of course…
Maybe I will edit before publishing and include them… who knows…
Enjoy!

Well, glued in place for a start!
Only a matter of adding texture to the stands and pop goes the whistle!
It has been a long project with delays fault of the Postal services!… I have learned a lot about that by now. If I ever do a project again in 6MM (Do it Myself I mean) I would have to order quite ahead of the time of implementation.
Now the Brigade of Guards in the Crimea is finally on its last stages… of course the flags will help a lot!
Will keep you posted when finished properly!
Enjoy!

The Peninsular War was not one of Napoleon’s brightest ideas… veterans misused… young recruits wasted… and they only conquered the soil under their feet.
A Big Army starves… and Small Army is defeated. This was coined specially for the Iberian peninsula.
Perry Miniatures are the best in 28MM in my humble opinion… or among the very best… there are so many good quality makers nowadays…
Enjoy!

The British (and Portuguese Allies) Peninsular Campaign was a mastery use of what was later called “The Indirect Approach”.
Wargamers much concentrated on the gaming side of the hobby should read a lot about the smallness of the British Army… and how well handed it was by the Duke of Wellington.
If his Indian Campaigns were masterfully handed, in the Peninsula up to the battle of Toulouse (in French soil and sadly fought for nothing because Napoleon had abdicated days before…) he did nothing wrong (well, Burgos was a check) retired when he had to, advanced when it was the moment… the Spanish did not like at all to be invaded twice by foreign Armies… but cooperated with Wellington more or less successfully… their time of past glory long gone in time…
Enjoy the pics!

York and Lancaster little conflict (not if you were in the first line mind)… colourful troops if there ever was any…
Again I will repeat not my period at all… but quite fascinated by the level of the painting job.
So…
Enjoy!
