The Combat of Zinna 1759: The Refight
In my last post I presented a scenario for the Combat of Zinna (or First Torgau) 1759, fought between Prussian and Austro-Imperial forces during the Seven Years War. As mentioned in that post, my mate Andy James and I played … Continue reading
The Combat of Zinna 1759: A Scenario for ‘Tricorn’
When a rare opportunity for a game presented itself a couple of weeks ago, I had a quick trawl of potential Seven Years War battles to find one that would be small enough to serve as a simple introductory ‘Tricorn’ … Continue reading
“Thrice Blue And Thrice Damned To The Devil!”: SYW Prussian Frei-Infanterie
“Dreimal blau und dreimal des Teufels!” Last month I played a small historical refight of the Combat of Pretzsch, to introduce my mate Lewys to Tricorn (my 18th Century version of Shako). However, the Prussian order of battle required a … Continue reading
All The Emperor’s Men (Part 3): Reichsarmee Cavalry
Having flipped to painting Napoleonics for a few weeks, I’ve now flopped back to painting my Seven Years War armies, starting with some cavalry regiments for the Imperial Reichsarmee. These were yet another über-stalled project, as I painted the first … Continue reading
More Napoleonic French Allies (Saxon & Westphalian Cuirassiers)
My painting since November has been a bit random, consisting mostly of Napoleonic bits and pieces that I’ve been wanting to paint for a while, but kept getting knocked back while the big Seven Years War and American Civil War … Continue reading
“Mother Russia, Rain Down, Down, Down!”: My Napoleonic Russians (Part 3: The Pavlov Grenadier Regiment)
As the surviving readers of this blog will know, I often get stuff wrong and this blog mostly exists as a warning to other wargamers, being a record of where I went wrong and how to avoid such schoolboy errors… … Continue reading
“Vive L’Empereur!”: A Unique (?) Tony Barton Napoleon Figure
While I was photographing the Imperial Guard cavalry last week, it occurred to me that I’d never properly photographed my Napoleon model. He’s a rather unusual and possibly unique figure, sculpted by Tony Barton, the supreme talent behind the original … Continue reading
“La Garde au Feu!”: My 15mm French Imperial Guard (Part 8: Young Guard Cavalry)
As regular readers of this blog might remember, in April 2020 I declared my French Imperial Guard to be finally finished! Hurrah! Vive l’Empereur! etc… So here are another two units of Imperial Guard cavalry… 🙂 “WTF?!” I hear you … Continue reading
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
