Get thee behind me, satan! So tempting, especially as the first miniatures I painted were 1/72 revell and airfix plastic napoleonics.

Not sure why you say 'Sharp Practice' needs more figures - it appears you have plenty enough figures for playing these rules.  The rules cater for using groups of up to 12 figures each, with Big Men to lead one or a number of such Groups.  Your first painted group just needs a Big Man to lead them, and you're set!

Voltigeurs:



I read some scenarios for Sharp Practice and the requirements were for many, many more figures than I want to paint so I decided not to use them. This project is based around wanting to use a particular set of rules that I'm familiar with and like, so that's what I'm going to do. I may branch out in the future of course.

Matakishi;
If you are interested, PM me as I published and sell a rule set specifically for skirmishing Napoleonics in the Penninsular War which does not require as many figures as Sharp Practise. I also created a scenario supplement which is also available either together or separately. I did a lot of research on small skirmishes and added a number of fictional ones that could have happened in either Portugal or Spain.
Regards,
Hitman

Not that you should turn back now, but the "official" scenarios in the SP scenario supplement are huge IMO. You can enjoy a great game with only @20-30 figures per player.

Fantastic painting on those Frenchies!

How go's the skirmishers? Were you distracted by some thing shiny?

I'm currently painting the 16 Riflemen. During the Summer I build stuff (Entebbe, African houses and jungle this year) because I'm off work for 6 weeks. I can paint anytime so I generally wait until term starts again (which it now has). Pictures soon.

Right, Zulus are finished and I've started watching the Sharpe films with my daughter so it's back to this again to see if I can cope with the bloody straps and buttons.

The man himself:



I've painted a British Naval landing party which just needs officers so they'll be along shortly too.
