Zinnfiguren SYW Project

These are just excellent! 

When I was living in Barlin, I was able to persuade my wife to marry in the Zitadelle Spandau where they have a permanent exhibition of real Zinnfiguren.

If you ever are there, try to schedule a visit. It’s a bit far off the main attractions but worth a visit.

It been a while since I did anything on my Zinnfiguren armies. At least I got this chap done. I have gone with my standard scenic basing for him. Now looking to convert the rest of my collection onto smaller bases with scenic basing. It will give me something to do over Christmas.

I played another game of DBSYW. The set up was based on the Battle of Fontenoy and I used my Prussians to represent  the British and Allies and the Austrians as the French.



The action opened with the Prussians moving into the wood to get rid of the pesky Grenz. This fight was to last most of the game.



In the centre and left the Prussians advanced to musketry range. For the next few turns each side took hits but with the Prussians gaining the upper hand. Fontenoy is captured and the Austrians right is destroyed.





With loses mounting the Austrians move their cavalry through their  Infantry in the centre gaining



The game is tight with each side having lost 8 units and both have a break point of 9.  The Prussians however are able to destroy an infantry unit with musketry breaking the Austrians.
