“Mother Russia, Rain Down, Down, Down!”: My Napoleonic Russians (Part 2)
Mrs Fawr has finally resigned herself to the fact that me openly playing with myself in the dining room is ‘The New Normal’, so I was able to get another solo game in last week! 🙂 Our table measures only … Continue reading
“Mother Russia, Rain Down, Down, Down!”: My Napoleonic Russians (Part 1)
First my apologies to all lovers of Olive Drab, Jungle Green and Crabfat Blue, as it’s all been a bit overloaded with the lace, brightly-coloured coats, facings, buttons, muskets, sabres and tricorns of the 18th Century around here just lately. … Continue reading
Happy Bavarianuary!
Well it’s Groundhog Month here at Fawr Towers and without any prospect of games to provide a spur to painting, I’ve been setting myself challenges to keep the painting mojo going and to finish off wargaming projects. The first of … Continue reading
Happy Württember!
Last month I mentioned that I had decided to embark on the ‘Württember Challenge’, which was to paint the entire Württemberg Auxiliary Corps for the Seven Years War by the end of November (13x 12-figure infantry battalions, 1x general and … Continue reading
Post Without an Interesting Title: The Swedish Army of the Seven Years War
Normally when I write an article, I’m able to find an interesting battle painting, some interesting and quotable military characters, an interesting or exciting historical event or some pithy and amusing phrase to use for a title and/or introduction… … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 3: Cavalry)
My freshly-rekindled interest in the Seven Years War is progressing well and my painting output has increased by several orders of magnitude. Having finished the Würzburg ‘Red’ Regiment (my first SYW unit to be painted in 23 years) at the … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 2: Infantry)
As discussed recently, I’ve been dusting off my ancient Seven Years War collection, which hadn’t seen the light of day since the 1990s. In my last post I looked at Fred The Big, his generals and artillery and this time I’m … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do you want to stay in the toolbox forever?!” (My 15mm Seven Years War Prussian Army – Part 1: Generals & Artillery)
As discussed last time, I’ve recently decided to rekindle my painting and wargaming mojo. I’d grown slightly tired (for the time being) of the tedium of bold colours, facings, buttons, lace, cross-belts and shakos of the Napoleonic Wars, so have … Continue reading
Regaining the Mojo & Resurrecting The Seven Years War
I suppose like a lot of people at the moment, the current situation combined with a lack of wargaming opportunities has been killing my painting mojo. I did initially have a good gallop at the Napoleonics, finally completing my French … Continue reading
Some More French Napoleonic Allies
It’s all been a bit wordy and rather ‘Jungle Green’ around here just lately, so I thought I’d throw some Napoleonics in to brighten the place up a bit! As has been mentioned here before, everyone needs friends and that’s … Continue reading
