Another day another game, work has delayed my taking pictures of my 25mm Napoleonic epic, so thanks for all the support with your purchases it kept everyone busy. As a little spicer we are looking at taking over another little company to add to our fellowship of companies so watch this spot , also if any of you want the infamy of letting us have pictures of you painted work from 10mm to 25mm from our little collection we would love to share them the site with people some who need help on painting and like to see examples.
Anyway what have I been upto since last well my painting has carriued on Ive statrted the Napoleonic Westphalians as Im completeing the Swiss and Italians, so things are drawing to the completion in a few months. I also attended Phalanx in St Helens, I like the show, a great Bring and Buy and a handful of traders, but I enjoy the chance to talk to old friends and just mill around, sadly I talked so much I only bought some Generals to represent Prince Eugene in 1812
The big thing was after what seemed forever I managed to squeeze in a wargame, we used Field of Battle with some characteristics for the ECW. It was a pretty generic affair the armies very simlar in composition
We drew our maps and we both had cavalry wings from left to right I deployed 6 regiments of Cavalry then an infantry brigade of 3 infantry 2 batteries, the next brigade of 3 units facing a small village, next to them annother 3 infantry units and and other battery, finally on the right a cavalry force of 3 units.
The battle followed a cavalry clash with my cavalry victorious, my infantry took the village and with artillery support from the two batteries the infantry moved forward, on my right the brigade held its ground with an infantry unit supporting the three regiments of cavalry.
Eventually as I wanted the village blocked a lot of his infantry and my left wing infantry put pressure on the enemy foot and routed one of his foot regiments, at that point we called it a day. My side victorious as I still had a few units of cavalry who had rallied from pursuit and some still pursuing, the enemy flank turned. All in all a good game but I know now I want some mounted dragoons hence I today cast and will be on the table soon - I see another 5-6 infantry and the same in cavalry for the ECW in my future. There are only a few pics in the Gallery, thats it for now
