“Rogues! Do You Want To Stay In The Toolbox Forever?!” (Part 7: Guards & Grenadiers)
Prior to our June refight of the Battle of Leuthen, I was working my way through the Prussian order of battle, painting units to fill it out as best I could so we didn’t have to rely too heavily upon … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 4 – Hanoverian Artillery)
In the last part of this series I waffled on at length about Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick and his staff. This time I’m taking a quick look at Hanover’s artillery arm. The artillery held a very high status in the … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 3 – Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick & Staff)
Following my recent, brief departure into Jungle Green, normal service is now resumed with some more troops for my Seven Years War Hanoverian & German Allied army, starting with Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick. Ferdinand was actually a Prussian officer, but … Continue reading
Tricorn SYW Rules: Some Generalship Ideas & Playtest Rules
I’ve recently been writing scenarios for two of the bloodiest battles of the Seven Years War; the Battles of Prague and Kolin. Prague was particularly notable for the remarkably high attrition-rate among generals on both sides and it started me … Continue reading
The Battle of Leuthen 5th December 1757: The Refight
Last time I posted my scenario for the Battle of Leuthen, arguably one of the greatest battles of the 18th Century. Following much delay caused by holiday and subsequent Covid infection, here’s my report of our refight, which was played … Continue reading
The Battle of Leuthen 5th December 1757: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’
Like many others, I originally started wargaming because I wanted to refight the Great Battles of History, as in the epic wargame scene in the film Callan. It is therefore, very satisfying when you finally manage to tick one off … Continue reading
“King George Commands And We Obey”: My SYW British Army (Part 3: Cavalry)
In my last post I discussed the controversy surrounding the actions (or rather, the lack of) of the British-Hanoverian cavalry at the Battle of Minden in 1759, the subsequent sacking of Lord Sackville and his replacement with the Marquess of … Continue reading
“King George Commands And We Obey”: My SYW British Army (Part 2: Generals & Artillery)
It’s taken me a whole year due to various other ongoing projects, but this month I’ve finally finished enough British and Hanoverian troops to put on the table opposite the French army I completed last year! 🙂 I completed seven … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do You Want To Stay In The Toolbox Forever?!” (Part 6: More SYW Prussian Reinforcements)
Here are a few random bits and pieces that I’ve painted for my SYW Prussian army over the last 18 months or so. The artillery were painted only last week, but the grenadiers and adjutant were painted in January of … Continue reading
‘All The Emperor’s Men’ (Part 4): Reichsarmee Reinforcements
In my recent account of our refight of the Combat of Zinna, I mentioned that I had painted a few new Reichsarmee infantry units for the game. Here they are in a bit more detail. If you missed it, I … Continue reading
