A Crimean War Project in 15mm

[OB]

I’m one base short of finishing my Russian Infantry for the Crimean War.  The figures used are from Irregular and Minifigs.

I have based the units more or less for Barry Hilton’s Republic to Empire.  I think gives the right look to the units.  They will also work for other rule systems.

My Crimean war British Infantry Brigades are now on my blog.  There are Guards, Highlanders, Line Battalions and the Rifles.  The figures are 15mm from Minifigs and Irregular.  I find these mutually compatible in most cases.

I have used a lot of flags from Maverick Models.  A good product and an excellent service.

I have also reproduced Captain Temple Godman’s account of the “Thin Red Streak” incident.  It is illuminating.

Having scoured the bits box I realised I had enough for another 3 British Battalions.  Here is the first, HM 88th all Minifigs save the two Irregular flag bearers.

There are quite a lot of Crimean War Russian Cavalry on my blog.  All from Irregular or Minifigs and in 15mm.

I looked at how the Russian cavalry performed and decided a “trained” rating was best for the regulars.

There is also some information on British Heavy Brigade losses to artillery post the Heavy Brigade action.

I have nearly finished my British Cavalry for the Crimean War.  Here is a snap of the Light Brigade.
