napoleonic war drawing (not mine)
Riding the Wachau Railway I always wondered about the meaning of this big memorial just next to the tracks. After a visit to the Domäne Wachau, I had the chance to learn more about it: It is a memorial about an engagement between French, Austrian and Russian troops during the Napoleonic Wars on Nov 11th,… Continue reading Napoleonic war memorial in Loiben

I've just stumbled across a site of Spanish war comics, portraying stories set during the Napoleonic Wars. One particular comic, called Soldados, really tickled my fancy. I didn't have to be able to read Spanish to get the sense of it, and particularly the rather apt (for our hobby) punchline. You can download it as a PDF…

Facebook Google+ LinkedIn Tumblr During the late 18th and early 19th century the definition of a proper sword varied from nation to nation. Initially, nations sought to choose the ‘best’ sword for their light and heavy cavalry units so that on the battlefield they would be more effective. Tests and studies were done, data […]
Years ago, I did a 15mm Napoleonic collection focused on the conflict between France and Austria in 1809. It’s a huge collection of more than 4,000 figures. With that behind me, one would think I might have Napoleon out of my system, but I was drawn to it once again by the beautiful 28mm Peninsular War collection of Bill Gaskin. I saw two pictorial features of that collection in Wargames Illustrated back in 2005 (February/No. 209) and 2006 (December/No. 230). Those pictorials focused on his huge Spanish town. I fell in love with it and decided to do something of my own in 15mm. My plan focused on a British siege/assault on a French-held Spanish town defended by star forts. My collection is set on two tables (both 5 ft. x 7 ft.). One table is the actual siege, and the other is the British advance on the town through a vineyard landscape. Most of the figures I used are Blue Moon, AB, and Old Glory 15s (French, British, Portuguese, and civilians). I’ve also included a few HO-scale figures by Prieser… a monk and some wine harvesters. This collection involves approximately 1,500 newly painted figures. Most of the figure painting was of British forces since I already had a huge French force from the same period already painted. But I did paint six French infantry regiments (37 figures each) in campaign dress and one French cuirassiers regiment (the 13th which only saw service in Spain and has the distinction of wearing brown coats). I included a dismounted French dragoon regiment by AB… didn’t have a dismounted French cavalry regiment already painted in the previous collection. Most of the buildings are by Hovels with a few by Ian Weekley. The star forts are Ian Weekley… heavily modified. The stone walls that line the road along the vineyards are Blue Moon. The river is a repainted river by Pegasus. The stone bridge is by Novus Design… slightly modified. I found it difficult to find a 15mm stone bridge with an arch that would span the river. This one worked. Most of the trees are by Grand Central Gems. The town’s cobblestone streets are HO-scale random course stone by JTT. The British entrenchments are very old Galia entrenchments that I also used with my FIW collection. The vineyards are by Flames Of War. The wine press is by Faller (HO). Most of the wagons are Blue Moon with some by Minifig and few other odds and ends. I did one vignette as an homage to Bill Gaskin’s work as seen in the 2005 issue of Wargames Illustrated. It is a British punishment parade in the town plaza following the British capture of the town. Since no one I could find did figures that represented a flogging, that involved a lot of modification, but it was something I really wanted to include in this project. As always, my daughter did the photography.

The protagonist in a personal project of mine. Eugéne was inspired by Richard Sharpe's character, written by the magnificent Bernard Cornwell, as well as Jack Aubrey by Patrick O'Brian. Since both characters are Englishmen, I wanted a different story - a french one. Eugéne a loose cannon, an adventurer, and a corsair, a hussar if needed. A ladies man rough around the edges, a gambler, and a fighter. The appearance of the character is based on the French actor Olivier Martinez.
