Ephemera - Napoleonic Rules

As a rule I don't post gamey topics on this blog (fig v fig for my gaming shenanigans) but I thought I might break my rule in this instance. Recently purchased a copy of Republic to Empire by those scary looking chaps at the league of Augsburg and Clarence Harrison of Quindia fame throwing a spanner in the works for good measure.

Now I know "blah blah blah" been out for ages "etc etc" but bare in mind the last Napoleonic specific rules I purchased was a 2nd hand copy of Bruce Quarries (machine gun Quarry's) rules back when I were a pup, this is a big event in the PaintPig house hold.

Anyhoo having read the hoopla on various fora about this set I was still determined to have a look anyway ☺ 

Well, so far they, seem to be quite sensible from what I can tell so I will press on with them. I'm considering using these as a prompt to get a rather bulky collection of unpainted 18mm lead into action and possibly for some "12 figure unit" 28mm action. Any Napoleonic aficionado's willing to offer up some thoughts?

Great Waterloo re fight

Hi Every Bodies

Busy day today I decided to run 3 re fights of Waterloo today, all from a decidedly different angle and what is more I managed to get photo's of each! Not a bad effort for a 24 hour period even if I do say so myself.

So without further ado ............

Straight up historical re fight

 "What if" re fight

Re fight using Black Powder

I have decided to leave the captions blank even though there was so many choices floating around in my tiny mind. I'll make it into a competition of sorts best captions wins...... errr  ........TBA

aWIP Perry Early mounted High Command cont.

Quick update on how these chaps are looking, not much to say about them at the moment.  The dapple dabbling has been a bit of a pain but I'm not too unhappy for a first effort, I have certainly learned a few things along the way some good, some bad and some just plain infuriating.

Perry AN 1 - Early mounted High Command, in order Archduke Charles and Prince Hohenzollern.

Musical Interlude - Zep

Hang on for a classic ride
