Wow! And this is why Napoleonics is great!

Do you have any pictures of the Russians? One can just see them on the other side of the table. And how large is that table!?

It was definitely worth doing. I will do a few more shots now that I've dusted these off I realize it was really quite pretty  ;)

Now this is what I'm talking about!  :-*

What size play area is that? I imagine those figures are 28mm? How many infantry per base?

That is absolutely insane, which is why I love it!  I thought I was going off the deep in doing 1:20.  This 1:5 is really impressive!

They certainly look very impressive : will you be uploading the pics in their original format on the LoA blog ?

Only one word for that, sir - marvellous!

This game seems to have struck the target for a few people so I've dug out a couple more shots.

Nice that people have got something out of them.

Pure and simple WOW...more more more we cry!

They are some impressive battalions and game shots. Whilst I love the look I don't think I could go to the effort of painting battalions of that size. Well done.

The secret is consistency in painting and basing style. Then a number of smaller units can combine to be a larger one.
