Battles for Plevna, 1877: 10mm using BBB
« on: November 13, 2016, 09:37:35 PM »
I just ran the Second and Third Battles of Plevna at Millennium in Austin, TX. We used Bloody Big Battles rules and 10mm Pendraken miniatures for the Russian, Romanian and Turkish forces.

Here is a write-up of the battle:

I like the Pendraken minis. Actually, we had them commissioned many years ago, so we got the poses we wanted. There is one running pose in some of the lines that I don't care for, but other than that, I think they are really great figures.

Toward the bottom of this link:

there are several close-ups of the Russians.
