Against all common sense it would seem I've begun another new project in 28mm. I thoughts I'd start a thread for any other interested folk here. I'll start with the Coldstream and Scots Fusilier Guards. All figures are from Great War Miniatures via North Star. More of course on my blog ~

Off to read your blog.....

Have done much the same thing as you and will be putting on an Alma game next weekend. I've got a lot of flocking to do before then but everything else is ready.

Looking great so far. Got to love though guards in bearskins. I would love to do Crimean War if I had the time. What rules are you using?

In case you weren’t aware Atheling has a fair amount of GWM unpainted Crimean figures for sale  :)

I will use Black Powder I expect at first, though I have purchased Soldiers of Napoleon with a view to possible tinkering. I had some discussion with Aetheling but he was unwilling to split his items and I didn't want the Guards as I'd already bought them. All very amicable though.

Another excellently painted addition to the project  :) Is it one more base to complete this regiment?

Did they form square in this period if threatened by cavalry?
Title: Re: Yankee Pedlar's 28mm Crimean War project
Post by: Yankeepedlar01 on 01 September 2023, 12:09:57 PM
No more bases, this is it for every regiment/battalion. As to square, a quick search threw up this ~
The square continued to be a tactically relevant formation during the rest of the 19th century but as the infantryman’s musket evolved into the percussion-locked rifle the increased firepower and accuracy meant that infantry could face cavalry in line, this was demonstrated during the Crimean War at the Battle of Balaclava when the 93rd Highlanders were caught by advancing Russian light cavalry, the 93rd’s commander believed his men could withstand the charge without forming square. Instead the 93rd remained in line and fired volleys at 600, 350 and 150 yards halting the Russian charge.  The accuracy, rapidity and weight of fire the two rank line was able to bring to bear halted the Russian cavalry before they reached the line. The Russian’s pulled back fearing a counter charge or British reinforcements.

I have mustered eleven battalions of infantry so far, in addition to the Prodigal Foundry Collection, with three more in the Lead Pimple awaiting painting. I have also got six battalions of French infantry on the said Pimple. As to Roosians, when I finish painting the last base of Jaegers there remains just  six Dragoons, twelve Cossacks and a cart.
