Schleswig holstein 1848 51
« on: April 04, 2020, 04:44:10 PM »
Hi all
First post on site :)
I'm looking for an article that appeared in the Continental Wars society Foreign Correspondant, its a part 2 of a article on the Holstein troops in Danish uniform covering the artillery and cavalry. the first article was in number 100, can anybody help?  I've got numerous , articles of Danish and German origin covering the conflict.  I'm currently designing a 28mm range of figures to cover this period from the beginning right through to 1850 (I'll also cover the baden revolt), this is a range I'm doing for myself and I've started with the Danes as their uniform covers all for the first few months.  The range will cover all nations/german states, I have worked in the wargames hobby for over 30 years and have access to the hard bit of making the moulds and casting.

Hi Dave, Number 102. The volunteers are in numbers 103 and 104 as well.  Good luck with the range.

Do you have the issue number, if so could you copy the article?

Do you have the booklet published by the Danish War Museum(Tojhusmuseet) on the conflict? There are some useful plates with uniform details there, here you go:

Thanks for that and time spent, I do have the three main English language books on the subject.  I've spent the last 6 months looking for the hard to find information and checking info from different sources!!!  I've started the design work and are expecting the first two dollies of Danes in the next day or so.

Thank you Dave

Great! Look forward to see the dollies. This conflict has received far too little interest from the wargaming community ;)
I have the Danish book ”Uniformer, Faner og Våben” by Walbom-Pramvig which has a lot of colour illustrations for 1848-51 if you need some more. Just let me know and I can upload pictures, here is an example:

Lovely news. The booklet published by the Danish War Museum is good although having no reverse shots of uniforms/equipment makes it difficult for sculptors to get an accurate picture of what they are sculpting. Ralph Weaver's book is not bad although it too suffers from lack of additional material on uniforms and equipment.
I picked-up an Osprey style book on the subject and again lacked depth of uniform coverage.

I was going down the path of having Steve barber sculpt the range, but forgo and instead went for the Hungarian Up-Rising 1848-49.

Again, I wish you the best of luck with the range. Its one that I've an interest in.

Very interesting. I will follow this post with great interest. 1. Schleswig War is way more fun than the second even though it gets all the attention (and the TV series). The Danish cavalry kicked arse in this war. I've always wanted to try out some sort of skirmish cavalry game from this war.   

Waterloo To Mons Miniatures did a range of miniatures for this war. I managed to get hold of some of the infantry but I don't the company exist anymore.


Cheers
Erik
