I'ver been over to my friend John's house twice this past month to play a couple games of Wargaming Nineteenth Century Europe (by Neil Thomas) with his 40mm 1850-ish "toy soldiers". Both engagements saw Austrians and Russians fighting in Galicia.
All the figures were modelled, moulded, cast, and painted by John.
Full reports with lots of pictures can be found on my blog. The first game is here:
