First, I have spent most of my gaming time preparing for the big Napoleonic game that my friend Ray and I have scheduled for Millennium Con X in Austin, TX on November 10. To that end, I've been basing figures and making movement trays. Sadly, we have decided to make one modification to the rules, and are using 2-deep figures to represent a line, that changes the basing for columns as well. Of course, all of my movement trays were already built for columns using the original rules...C'est la guerre!
I am fielding a reinforced French corps at 30:1. There are 25 battalions, 30 squadrons, and 21 miniature guns, about 800 figures all told. A complete OB is at Huzzah!
Here are some of the Napleonics:
Hussars
French 13th Cuirassiers
Most of the corps...
Ed, that's a lot of lead.
ReplyDeleteBut I urge you NOT to give in to the "dark side" and forget the true joys of the three-cornered hat.
Have fun . . . but return to your tricorne boys.

VIVE l'EMPERUR!
ReplyDeleteI hope that all goes well in your games!
I understand your 'rebasing' woes and have undertaken a change in basing system for my own troops.
In the future all I will need to re-base is a few weeks notice, some metal and 'flocking' paper.
