6mm Adler Napoleonics - A Lost Project
« on: 11 November 2020, 04:55:59 PM »






https://yarkshiregamer.blogspot.com/2020/11/6mm-adler-napoleonics-lost-project.html

Lockdown 2 (which is just a continuation of Lockdown 1) in Yarkshire has started a number of slightly unhinged ideas in my brain, one of them was "how many painted wargames figures have I actually got "

During the course of the #Greatwargamesfigurecount I've discovered a few gems I'd forgotten about (28mm American Football anyone !) amongst them were these 6mm Adler Napoleonics.

Great detailed figures, not seen the light of day in years, on the blog post (link above) I talk about the lost project and it's uncertain future.

It's interesting on the back of the "Big Game Gaming - is it dead" post that even 30 years ago when I did these I decreased the figure scale to get bigger units. Twice as many Adler figures filled the same space as half as many 15s, I just can't do small games lol.

Many thanks Ray, Adler have amazing detail for the scale. I call them the Rolls Royce of 6mm, absolute quality but a bit bigger than bigger than the rest.  ;)
