RP No 66 Russo-Japanese War Japanese Artillery

Back to the figures I painted for the Analouge Painting Challenge, for today's post. This group of artillery are for Posties Russo-Japanese War collection, the blue-coated troops are from Old Glory, while the khaki couloured are from Irregular Miniatures, as is most of Posties RJW collection!!! They do really need a spot of ink in my opinion?? But Postie won't here of it. Talking of Postie, he's not quite ready for a game yet, but I'm sure it won't be too long and we'll be having a bash with these.

The Battle of Boars Back - A Napoleonic batrep

The Battle of Boars Back 1813 A Fictional batrep

Wellington has been pushing the French back towards the Pyrenees, the French Commander Marshal Rousell has been given the task to hold the advancing British led by Col Lee at a large hill named Boars Back, just 1 mile from the French border.
The French second in command was Col Biglee, while the British second in command was the newly instated Lt Col Diggery. Although halfway through the battle Lt Col Diggery trod on a pebble and had to be replaced by the newly commissioned Ensign Jack.

Postie literally brought the curtain down, which he hasn't done for a long time. I'll explain, high above the middle of the table we have a curtain, which when lowered cuts the table in half, this is great for Fog of War, as you haven't a clue what troops you face, where they are deployed or even what the terrain looks like!!!!

I took stacks of pics for this game, so I thought I'd try a pictorial batrep for a change?? Hope you like it!!

RP 65 Russo-Japanese War - Japanese Cavalry

Catching up with units entered into the Analouge Painting Challenge again, these 4 units of Japanese Cavalry for the Russo-Japanese War, earned me 288 points to add to my tally. The figures are all from Irregular miniatures and are based up for the Franco-Prussian set of rules "They Died For Glory".
