....play with them!

So, having finished painting the British I have plenty of new units to baptise in the rolling flames of hostile dice.

I set up a fictional encounter for my Peninsular forces to battle it out on, keeping the terrain simple to aid speed of play – eye candy terrain clutter (like fields, bushes, scrub, etc.) looks great but it does get in the way of things.

Here it is the game so far:

Despite not being into Naps myself, I have to say that those look absolutely splendid! Really, really good, and well worth the hard effort you clearly put into them. Well done, and I hope they bring you success on the table!  :D

That's a lovely looking game. Beautiful figures and a nice tidy table.
