Really stunning pictures - impressive! I am currently building my own french army (1807-1815) and might come to the Tactica. I´m looking forward to seeing these guys in person!

Hi chaps,

here's my humble share for White Death. For the presentation in Hamburg I'm painting a set of French characters based on the excellent miniatures by Perry:

If you like those you might want to have a look at my full post about all eight Frenchmen I painted recently: http://montys-caravan.blogspot.de/2014/01/retreat-1812-more-frozen-frenchmen.html.
Or visit us at Tactica where they'll all be playable.

If you want more action or have an idea of the game itself, then please have a look at the game report of one of our test matches:
http://montys-caravan.blogspot.de/2013/09/the-retreat-continues-another-1812-game.html

It's about a game we played last year.

During this week I'll have an AAR about another match we played last friday finished. Stay tuned!

Enjoy it and all the best
Stefan

I'm cold just by looking at these pictures... but this is perhaps also due to the minus 30^oC we have now…

Stunning Frenchmen and scenery, sir!

Pure gaming porn!

Very enjoyable read, I really enjoyed the scenario.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. How did I miss this?

Now it is going to be hard to decide whether I should go to Salute or Tactica.

By the battle report it sounds liek the game is a right romp. Lovely. It has a bit of a Wild West feel to it.

There's a great family tale that a friend of mine tells.

Apparently her great great grandfather and his mates found a payroll wagon full of gold on the retreat, when he got back to the Tyrol he could buy a farm, bung the church and marry his sweetheart, well that's the story.

Her dad died in the retreat of 1944, spooky huh!?

Super AAR.
Thanks for sharing.
May I ask who makes the Ney figure?

Gonvalon · « **Reply #41 on:** February 07, 2014, 07:05:17 AM »

The figure was a present by Westfalia to push the project.
It is original from Eureka, but I can not find it on the Eureka homepage

We have also a very nice conversion of the Gringos Murat

It is based on a historic painting that shows Murat in a splendid red coat.
A picture should be here soon.

Monty · « **Reply #42 on:** February 07, 2014, 07:19:45 AM »

Actually this excellent Ney is sculpted by Mike Owen and sold by Gorgon Studios:

Cracking work - looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh

Gonvalon · « **Reply #44 on:** February 07, 2014, 09:16:34 AM »

The Ney is really from Eureka

The one from Gorgon is also nice, but a different Ney.
