piccies coming up Jim.... Colin looked after your Orange Guards pretty well (at least there were some of them left at the end of the game) :lol: Though, predictably, their brigadier didn't survive the day. :shock: Great weekend - good to see familiar faces and meet new ones. Looking forward to the ...
Those Huguenot garcons will be out next weekend at the Derby Weekender.... commanded by Killer Colin Napier (again) and trying to maintain their impressive combat record from their last outing in Ireland! Cool - I was hoping to lead my brave Frenchmen again! Is there a sweepstake on the number of o...
Thanks for all the kind words on the painting. When I started the project I had no idea that it was a well trodden path on Fighting Talk and I've found a couple of the threads most helpful in putting together the uniforms particularly: http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t...
...but entered into your fast track officer promotion course For the sake of morale I told him he had received his promotion through merit (that merit being, only man standing :wink: ) He looks great Colin, but as Bob has pointed out, he'll be a general soon and probably dead within a couple of mon...
In other words Dont do a battalion! Do an Army! :lol: I'll be happy with a battalion at the moment :lol: (I'm a very slow painter!). Had a good look at the Saxon muster on your 1810-13 thread, magnificent and I hope to see them 'live' on a table top sometime. superb start to your conquest of Irelan...
If you were at the recent Derby Weekender may have spotted the birth of a new metal based obsession on the Williamite right flank (maybe not, the unkempt hair, befuddled manner and glassy stare are default settings). After chatting with Barry I got a book (Osprey Campaign) some figures and decided t...
Just wanted to add my thanks to everybody for another great weekend. I'm a bit late to the thread and I don't have too much to add. Like everybody else I thought the cards were fun but too prominent and agree with the idea of limiting them to the Kings. Perhaps a sort of joker would be fun too - a c...
Felt the rule forcing the artillery to shoot at a highly depleted group of skirmishers and ignoring the bl**dy big battalion on the hill above them didn't feel right either especially as the skirmishers weren't moving towards the guns. Also was suprised at how difficult they were to charge with hors...
Dave, I'll let Big Boy and Killer Colin comment on the FIBUA but the 1/107 de Ligne (all 400 of them) necessitated 2 full Prussian Brigades to prize them out of quadrant 1 of Plancenoit.. The Prussians seemed to be reluctant when it came to assault. Each time they attacked the majority of regiments...
Who also could fail to be impressed when an entire brigade of cavalry was ordered by the Emperor himself to proceed post haste to support VI Corps' gallant effort only for their general to read the map the wrong way round and join in the attacks on the main Allied positions instead. It was worse th...
And here I thought Colin losing 4 or 5 leaders in the first wave of attacks on Day 1 of Bautzen (Derby, March '12) was remarkable . . . 13 for a weekend must be some sort of 'record'! :shock: :roll: 13! Now that is something to aspire to - perhaps in a couple of weekends time. Right who wants me in...
