Napoleonics are crawling along. I’m too much of a butterfly to concentrate on finishing wargaming projects I’m afraid.

I for one would appreciate pictures of the crawl. I am having my second go at 40mm Napoleonics. The first set was started off the back of an image of your French Line (and my own twitchy wings of course), I sold the set during a bit of a financial crisis and have recently started again after receiving a gift of unpainted models.
I am enjoying the look of them and will be doing enough for a small battle (5-6 units a side) in due course.

Nice collection Andrew. I have only completed 2 French Bns and 2 Spanish so far. I have another 2 Spanish in the pipeline now that I have made some progress on War of 1812.
Although I have started in the Peninsular, I am keen on 1813 too, so Lutzen, Bautzen, Dresden etc. Would cost a bit though!!!

My aim is for eventual multi level play with small battles incorporating simultaneous sub plots at skirmish and character level - something like reading a Goldsworth , Scarrow or Cornwell novel so it is the Penensular for me.
I was looking at the 1812 Americans for use as Spanish, Did you you use Perry Alan?

I used Perry for Uniformed Spanish, and Sash and Saber for ununiformed. One finished Battalion is from a couple of the guerilla sets with a couple of conversions, one in progress is a mix of some converted guerillas and the 1812 militia in civilian dress.
I’m not intending to offload anything at the moment, but you never know.

Thanks Alan,
Photos, your French were very good, did you put as much work into the spanish?
For Spanish irregulars I have also considered the 1812 un-uniformed militia,...but I want to maybe get the British to a little more stand alone level. I have two battalions and a third would do it.
Similar position with the French, have two Line and perhaps a Legere before I start on some colourful allies.
Progress on my first cavalry and guns attached. Basing is dual use for skirmish using Rebels and Patriots and ranking up to use General de Brigade.
I like painting 40mm and feel I could be tempted to return and upgrade the standard game ready jobs, something I don't usually ever get to in 28s.
1812 may feel bette for size of forces I will be able to muster (for a while at least) but I can't help returning to the Peninsular (done so many times in 28 and smaller).
Cheers

Hi Alan, I may not be continuing 40mm (I am rural and my single local opponent for Historical games has 28s already).
If you woud like to give your Peninsular collection a boost let me know.
Cheers

Ah, but if I find another Antipodean they can pick up the mantle and I can paint them more!
My last 40mm set (which was similar) is however sitting on someone's shelf in Sydney for display and not used.
Being retired my capacity to keep buying big is not what it was and being rural my gaming options are limited The 40mm whilst wonderful are splitting the local stream so to speak.
If I don't find a good buyer I will not be upset to keep them and maybe continue.

Alan, may I ask you to recall the pack from which the model in the brown coat centre 2nd rank of the Maryland Militia came?

It is from 40AMW-04 Militia in civilian dress.
Although it isn’t that Spanish looking, I am using many from that pack as early war Spanish Infantry. Just add a Sash and a head with a moustache and it looks pretty good. If i get a chance I’ll take a in-progress photo.
