Reinforcements For King Louis! (Part 3: The ‘Royal-Nassau’ Hussars)
As the surviving regular readers of this blog might remember, it’s almost a year since I started my ‘Frogruary Challenge’ to complete the core of my new French army for the Seven Years War during the month of February 2021. … Continue reading
The Combat of Görlitz (or Moys), 7th September 1757: The Refight
A slightly belated Merry Christmas to one and all! 🙂 Wargames have been like Maltese buses over the last two years; they’ve mostly been cancelled with very little warning or two turn up together. So, having just got back from … Continue reading
The Combat of Görlitz (or Moys), 7th September 1757: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’
We recently played another playtest of my ‘Tricorn’ Seven Years War variant for ‘Shako’ rules. The after-action report will be up soon, along with the finalised version of ‘Tricorn’, but for the time being here’s my scenario for the Combat … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 2)
As discussed last time, I’m booked to put on a 10mm American Civil War game at Warfare 2021 in November, so I’ll have to put my 15mm Seven Years War project on hold for the moment while I paint a … Continue reading
‘Hannover Siegt, Der Franzmann Liegt’: My 15mm SYW Hanoverian & German Allied Army (Part 1)
“Hanover wins, the Frenchman lies down.” As mentioned recently, I’m presently building a British-Hanoverian-German Allied army for the Seven Years War, using the order of battle for the Battle of Minden 1759 as my initial ‘To Do’ list. Having finished … Continue reading
The Battle of Lobositz 1756: A ‘Tricorn’ Playtest
As mentioned last time, we recently had a playtest of ‘Tricorn’ (my Seven Years War variant of ‘Shako’ Napoleonic rules). I decided to go for a historical scenario (The Battle of Lobositz 1756) rather than a random ‘pick-up’ battle, as … Continue reading
The Battle of Lobositz 1756: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’ (SYW variant of ‘Shako’)
At long last, I’ve had a game and not just with myself!!! 🙂 As discussed before, at W.A.S.P. we played a lot of mid-18th Century battles (War of Austrian Succession and Seven Years War) during the 1990s, using our own … Continue reading
“King George Commands And We Obey”: My Seven Years War British Army
Sorry for the sparsity of posts over the last few weeks. Mrs Fawr has been cracking the whip… 🙁 Thankfully however, my rate of painting has been maintained and I’ve been making good progress on my new ‘Western Allied’ army … Continue reading
Reinforcements For King Louis! (Part 2)
Following my recent, though blessedly brief descent into olive-drabness, I’ve now recovered my senses and am feeling much better now, thanks for asking! Having started my French Seven Years War project in ‘Frogruary‘, the army is now complete (for the … Continue reading
“Rogues! Do You Want To Stay In The Toolbox Forever?!” (Part 5: More Prussian Reinforcements)
I hope everyone is in fine fettle? Last week, Mrs Fawr and I managed to finally have a holiday (in Devon), where the pubs were OPEN and the weather was glorious! 🙂 However, we’re now back in the People’s Glorious … Continue reading
