We've just about recovered our senses from the Sheffield Triples show to realise with a growing sense of horror that the Mighty Salute is looming on the...
I added a few more pictures in my album lekw stuff. Some Adler Seven Years War and a few other heroics and ros. Hope to get the Austrian Adlers painted soon...
... Very nice paint jobs. What rules are you playing for your 7YW games? I have started to paint up a number of R & H strips and am at a point where a good...
iused to play Warfare in the age of reason but now use Volley and Bayonet. The truth is I don't have much time to play these days. Most of my miniature free...
Le Feu Sacre are excellent Napoleonic rules. They have recently been adapted for 7YW by some enthusiast. Take a look at Yahoo group "lfslist" They are Corps...
Yoy can try also Horse Foot and Guns, the new brother of DBM. Its very good indicated for big battles. I play it in the XVIII Century and works well. You can...
Fantastic!!! wow that page is great, thanks so much for the link. I had seen your thirty years war stuff before but not 18th century which looks great. Amazing...
Gentlemen: I recently bought a few interesting 6mm buildings at a local club bring & buy sale. They are well painted and very true to 6mm scale. They are not...
OK Barry, Will take some more photos. This time with the flash on - natural light doesn`t seem to work as well! I should have them posted later today. Just to...
Those look good Mike! I can see with the paper units having depth that they would probably look quite good on the table. Are the hussars difficult to fold into...
Thanks Barry, The constructuion of the horses` heads and riders` pieces is the same as the infantry ones apart from a base and flap that slots back into the...
Follow 6mm gamers A quick question: Why is it generally assumed that all 6mm Napoleonic wargamers only want to play a Strategic level game? Playing a game...
General de Brigade isn't written for 6mm but works well. You can use more figures per battlion and use a roster or just play with the same number of 6mm figs...
... Polemos General de Division uses one base = one battalion. More details at www.baccus6mm.com and follow the Polemos link. Cheers Peter Berry Baccus 6mm...
I have 254 figures per battalion, and until I started building large scale units I had no idea about Napoleonic warfare. Its all about formation changes which...
Alex, Because they have bought 6mm, but think 15mm or even 25mm. 6mm is in fact a tactical scale since through smaller size one can more closely approximate...
there is no 'basic manoeuvre unit' The unit of formation is a platoon (in today's parlance) a battalion or a squadron are tactical units, i.e. bodies of troops...
I've been building a substanial syw baccus collection and fine that as a side benefit, I have enough figures based for two battalions to fight it out at 1 to 1...
WIth the memories of the Excel centre and Salute slowly fading away, it's time to turn out attention to the Partizan show which is coming up very quickly now....
First pictures from my Napoleonic 6mm 'Corps Packs' project http://www.modartis.com/6mm%20Baccus%20Naps.html I'm planning to make boxed sets of Napoleonic...
Neil, I hate to tell you this, but only ONE battalion per regiment carried an Eagle, and there were only about 120 regiments in all in the French Army, so you...
Depends when and where. The order to return the 2nd, 3rd etc eagles was in something like 1809 and some were slow in returning them - especially in Spain IIRC....
Neil, I think its a great idea - and the hobby needs more ideas like this, but an option of bases without flags at all would make these boxed sets more...
Greg, Elting (and others) disagree. He says that every battalion (and squadron!) receieved an eagle and that in 1804 there were an average of 3 bns per regt. ...
Yes, initially in 1804 one Eagle was issued for each battalion and squadron. However following the 1805-7 campaigns (particularly after Eylau) Napoleon decreed...
