The Battle of Raab, 14th June 1809 – A Scenario for Napoleon’s Battles
Following my various game-reports, a few people have asked for the full versions of the scenarios, so that they can play them as well. Until now, I’ve generally tried to give a rough outline of the scenario, in order to … Continue reading
“I’m Leaving on a Jet-Plane…”
Well, it’s time once again to leave soggy Wales and head off to warmer climes for a while. Here are some of Nelson’s holiday snaps from his visit to the same resort in 1797. He came away from his visit … Continue reading

French Napoleonic Reinforcements
Since getting back into my first wargaming love of Napoleonics in 2015, thanks to our Waterloo Bicentennial games, I’ve been steadily working my way through the lead-pile. In 2015 this stood at around 2,000 unpainted 15mm AB Figures Napoleonics. Thanks to painting 1,000 … Continue reading
Some Napoleonic French Foreign Legions (AB Figures 15mm)
In my last post I looked at a few armies that were allied to Napoleonic France. However, the French Army itself also contained quite a number of foreign Regiments and Legions within its ranks, raised from Germans, Italians, Swiss, Dutch, … Continue reading
Some Napoleonic French Allies (15mm AB Figures)
Everybody needs friends. Doubly so if you’re French… So here are some allies for Napoleon. These are all AB Figures 15mm (the kewl kidz call them ’18mm’ nowadays, but they were 15mm when I bought them. That’s inflation for you…). … Continue reading
Happiness is a Large Busch: Prussian Foot Guard Regiments in 1813 (15mm AB Figures)
Over the last couple of years and since getting back into 15mm Napoleonics with our Waterloo Bicentennial Game I’ve been steadily been building up armies that were largely absent from my collection (such as Austria, Portugal and Spain), as well as … Continue reading
“Where is Grouchy?!” – Some French Units for Waterloo
And so to the French… While I already had a pile of French troops for Waterloo, quite a few were looking very tired and in need of refurbishment or replacement (most notably my ancient 1980s-vintage Battle Honours artillery and Guard … Continue reading
“Vorwärts!” – Some Prussian Units for Waterloo
As discussed here, we decided in 2015 to refight the Battle of Waterloo as part of the Bicentennial commemorations. However, we still needed to paint ‘a few’ units (in reality a surprisingly large number of units…). Thankfully, I already had a … Continue reading
“Long Live The House of Orange!” – Netherlands Troops at Waterloo
In my last article, I showed off the British and KGL units I had to paint for our Waterloo Bicentennial game in 2015. However, I had an even greater deficiency in Netherlands troops! However, from my involvement in organising a Waterloo … Continue reading
“The Scum of the Earth”: Wellington’s Army at Waterloo in 15mm
As discussed here and here, in 2015 we decided to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Waterloo by refighting it in grand style. Although I already had a lot of British, French and Prussians (mostly AB Figures), there were still ‘a few’ (actually rather a … Continue reading
