I think this is the first time I've seen this subject addressed this seriously on LAF, and I think you have done a great job.

Lovely collection, you can feel the cold.  Inspirational presentation that has sent me back into the man cave to see if your basing format works for my Late Roman collection(large scale skirmish rather than big battle).  Keep up the great work please.

Aar of tonight's game,French trying to reach safety but having to run the gauntlet of angry Russians.
Pic 1. French starting position.
Pic 2. Russian troops lie in wait.
Pic 3. French cavalry abandoning their infantry and making a dash for it!
Pic 4. French casualties mounting from the incessant sniping.
Pic 5. Looking sticky for Ney and the other unit which routed and took the Marshal's unit with it!
Rolling on the casualty table Ney recieved a severe wound but will recover ,however, he'll never play the violin again  :o lol
Pic 6. Where'd everyone go? French skirmishers, abandoned by the cowardly cavalry and Ney's retreating units , are left to their icy fate  :(
All in all an enjoyable game with the Russians scoring a win with 7 points to 2.
Thanks for looking in  :)
