I have lax as always and found it's been a while since my last entry into my blog. I have been to the Wargames World championships in Derby and visited to Warhammer World head office in Nottingham, since my last entry. The image is in keeping with my overall plan to create a Napoleonic Division, the second estranger is the next unit i think i will have.

Anyway like I was saying the World championships were very good and I enjoyed it. The usual traders were there but i resisted and only bought six figures and these were a new manufacturer for 25/28mm and were french revolutionary infantry. When I get them out to paint i'll do a quick review for you.

This was a Napoleonic game at the world Championships, the battle of Talavera, large and impressive It was in deperate need of my Division of dodgy foreign troops, but alas it will be some time yet before they see combat. I was completely sold by the Perry twins range of napoleonic French officers and it will be a tough decision between keeping with the Foundry figures and getting my officer figures from the Perry's ( they even have a range of Aides with various different uniforms so show the crosssection of hangers on and sycophants.

It will be a real hard to choose when the time comes.

My long term project

My intension is to create a Napoleonic Brigade to fight skirmish or more substantial games at around the 1 model to 25 men ratio in 28 and 15mm. My first idea is to create a unit that is a bit different from the usual elite units that seem to be everywhere. With this unit i would then, rules allowing, fight battles and skirmishes using the resources available to me. For example in 28mm you can secure a bridge using detached companies and a section of artillery to push off a rearguard. I have for many years enjoyed to eyewitness accounts of small actions that would make some great games.

Hi Welcome to my Blog

Not that I know anything about blogs , but I wanted to contact a great site by JC Painter so i signed up here and got my very own blog.



I am a Wargamer of many years standing so i am a little stuck in my ways and found the site by JC very interesting , all about the Waterloo Campaign, and as I have been slumming lately with ready made battles and campaigns at the local wargames club, I found the idea of getting back into a large project very tempting.



Now the problem is that I now have blog so can ramble on about anything that interests me about the hobby or anything that comes up from the very rare ramblings of other who are very welcome to get in touch. i hope to post battle reports and projects from myself and the club to make this at least worth a read from a fellow gamer.



cheers
