Title: Encounter at Richendorf 1800 French Consular period.
Post by: Sheepman on March 27, 2020, 03:31:50 PM
A meeting of the Border Reivers club about a month ago produced a French Revolutionary (Consular period actually) game between a French rear guard force defending the village of Richendorf in the Rhineland area  from a attacking Austrian army. Chris's excellent photography does the figures on display some justice. Nice one mate!

A beacon of joy in a slightly dark period.  Thanks for posting, a joy to read and dream of replicating such scenes.  Great figures and scenery sure do make for good eye candy.  Worth digging around in your mates nether regions🤢

A huge mixture of figures guys, started about 15 years ago with Old Glory as at that time they were the only manufacturers who did the French Revolutionary wars period other than Foundry who's figures don't unfortunately fit in size wise with the others. Then as they came on stream as it were, Trent, Elite, Eureka and finally Emperor Toads Emporium who are expanding their range at a rapid rate. I'm sure there will be more to come!

Well, this has inspired me to buy some Austrians - have ordered 2 units from Eureka so far.

Truly inspirational photo's - well done.

Though the vast majority of the figures are from my collection I cannot take credit for the photography in these shots, these were taken by Chris one of our members of the Border Reivers Wargaming Society club up here in chilly Northumberland. I would however encourage any of you guys/ladies to have a look at the gallery pages of the club website there is some real eye candy from a vast number of games played by members over the years all of the same quality as highlighted on this post. It will certainly keep you occupied and inspired during these worrying times.
