Hi, I would like to ask where did you get those snowy buildings. They look great.

May I ask where the Ney figure is made by?

me but a stupid peasant who can't hold a brush, yet couldn't it be the free giveaway from Cold Wars 2012?


representing Ney from the famous painting by Adolphe Yvon of the rearguard battle of Krasnoi?

as for sculptor I would put my money on Paul Hicks, but that's just another humble guess...


Spitzenklasse collection Stefan, btw  ;)
can't buy it for money  8)

Thanks a lot, Eymard but most of the collection isn't mine I just had the pleasure to play with it.    :)

The Victrix conversions you see in the AARs and on my blog are mine as well as about 16 Perry figures I painted during the last weeks. Eight of them are just finished and I'll introduce them next weekend.    ;)

Hello, Hunlion.

The houses are Grand Manner.
You can find them here:

Really first class models.

Three days to Tactica 2014 and so we're turn into the home straight. Most preparations are finished and we'll bring enough counters, playing cards, figures and scenary stuff for two simultaneous three player games...


If that gets you hooked on White Death then have a look at the entire teaser on my blog:
Monty's Caravan

You'll find some more facts and above all a link to a pdf version of the leaflet we prepared for Tactica.

See you there !

Cheers
Stefan

This is the sort of thing that comes close to crossing the line between a game and an art installation, IMO. Just beautiful!

Quite. Our German friends pretty much set the standard when it comes to putting on wonderful looking games, where the visual appeal is every bit as important.
Bravo. Superb presentation  :)

I have to say that the whole project is amazing! Number of miniatures, level of paintjob, terrain and absolutely stunning tables.....all of this is absolutely stunning!

I haven't got time to play (I was busy with our By Fire & Sword presenations) but I'd like to thanks one guy from your team, who took some time and described me some mechanics. It's always nice to have great conversation.

I've started to search for Korundsand for snow and bought some French and Cossacks miniatures from Perry's range. I hope rulebook will be ready soon, cause I'd love to introduce it to our gaming group.

EDIT: I've just found source of Korund Sand in Poland! How much have you used for 4'x4' table? 0.5 kg will be sufficient?

Thanks for the compliments. On the boards you saw at Tactica on the 2 tables i used roughly 3 or 4 kg's of Korundsand (corundom? sand/powder?).
The wood glue soaks up loads of it.

Hi Guys

I would have posted sooner but have had connection problems.... >:(

This game was fantastic, it was great fun to play on, I would have loved to play for longer and and I really hope it gets published...
I have had to resist the temptation to start painting 1812 stuff...

Thank you for a great game  :D

All the best  Aly..

YES!... I KNOW I AM A BUTTERFLY.
