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...
Well the decree may have been issued in 1808 but many units in Spain had not complied by 1810-11. Multiple eagles would be appropriate for early peninsular and...
What I meant was that only the 2nd battalions were authorised to carry Eagles, not issued them. Neil's infantry are in bicorns. I love the way you keep quoting...
I've quoted just a few of the exceptions. When there are many exceptions recorded, it shows that the order was not followed as widely as Napoleon wanted. The...
It seems to have taken forever, but at last, today is the release day for the Franco Prussian War range. For details of what's on offer go to the New section...
Hi I'm a new guy and I'd like to ask a question. Baccus has army packs that list 12 bases of "Horse." Now Horse could mean Horse or it could be generic and...
Roger, the "Horse" booster is just that, horse. there are seperate boosters for dragoons which come with both mounted and dismounted. there are no boosters...
Steve I'm wondering about the $50 Army pack. Horse can be specific and mean Horse. It could be generic and mean a mixture. That's the real question The...
I am looking for 6mm unpainted/painted figures from Ancients thru Vietnam War era. I am also looking for 6mm figures to make Lord of the Rings armies also. In...
Waiting for some Baccus 6 ECW and there was one question I forgot to ask. Am I going to need a packet of straight pins? I will have to drill the base for each...
Dear All, Judging by the number of time we're spinning the moulds, the Franco Prussian range seems to be very popular with you out there. Thus far we've only...

I'm an old 25mm wargamer who I guess has just gone through a mid-life crisis, and is thinking of getting into 6mm napoleonic wargaming. So as soon as I've...
