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!

Daniel has always done my real state pieces in 6MM… I was surprised when he got a permanent job with a company of wargaming items… but thankfully REVEILLE is poerating again for buildings and scenery!
Yo can not go wrong with him!
Enjoy!

I have a passion for colonial affairs in my fantasy world (because In the real world I think Imperialism was wrong… mind probably inevitable in context and I mean historically… but definitely wrong on the whole approach of white man supremacy… LOL… I do not know why I have to include my private opinions in this Blog at all!)… pros and cons aside… there was colourful troops and little actions who deserve attention if you are a wargamer in 54MM or whatever scale.
Find this setting and troops delightful even if some need a bit of repair (that prone figure with broken rifle hurts my eyes).
Enjoy!

And after French, Austrians, and ACW Armies… the might of Prussia…
Scott’s does not do things by half…
Really wonderful customization and modeling… lots to copy and learn from…
Enjoy!

WWII is not my wargaming period at all… talk to my brother he is quite a nerd of that!… BUT (note the big but)… was always fascinated by the Battle of Britain dogfights and overall History.
So…
Enjoy the pics!

It took time… a lot of time… but finally in my collection!
I pestered Daniel in Facebook for so long I was lucky the range of his guns did not reach ANDORRA!… LOL
Seriously, I have admired his work for years, and 99% of my real state ACW buildings in 6MM are from him (meaning LEVEN and BACCUS but painted by him).
Occasionally he even did some 6MM minis for me.
But that Gunboat is a masterpiece!… I am unable to scratch build one to be sure… not even copying the present one… so be it… my OMDURMAN project is finally “complete” (if that notion exists at all).
Many thanks Daniel.
Enjoy!
