Edit: Zorndorf 1758 battle report part 2 - Victory
« on: 22 August 2024, 12:48:31 PM »
After so many months fighting a Peninsular campaign the lads still want me to ring the changes. So, our next game will be a SYW battle. It's one I've done before but it still makes for a good game with plenty of eye candy. And, it's the anniversary is in three days time.

My Zorndorf 1758 set up.







More pics, OOB and blurb here:

Hope you like it...

Thank you all for your kind words.

I've painted the couple of hundred Crusaders I bought at the same time as the Sudan collection, plus some odds and sods for my Italian Wars collection but not one figure for the Sudan - though I have the first batch of 36 Beja on painting armatures. I just need to settle on the basing before I begin - no point going off half cock.

I seem to be saying this an awful lot lately but its true - a fantastic table and beautiful paint jobs...that last photo in particular (with the command group and carriage in the background) is worthy of a magazine front cover.

Oooh, lovely. Makes me realize we have a carriage that needs to see the table again too.

Bloody lovely stuff, as always. 

Once again, I can hear my SYW Russians in the depths of the Lead Dungeon, crying "Paint meeeeeee!"   :(

 :o :o Don't know anything about this battle but how can those vastly outnumbered chaps in the Ville possibly win? I will read this one  avidly.
