Venta de Pantalones - Vistula Lancers

[vodkafan]

Hi Digits what size are your artillery bases?

[Digits]

100 x 50 mate.

[Warboss Nick]

Those are some lovely artillery pieces and excellent progress on the infantry. Keep ‘em coming!

[olicana]

Nice artillery, there.

[Digits]

I thank you!

So, why the thread name change?

There will be three (maybe four if my Northern nemesis joins in) of us fighting around the South of Spain.  Looking for a funny sounding Spanish place, I settled on “Venta de Pantalones”, a small town / village in the South.  It also has a river running through it called “Rio Viboras” which translates as “Viper River”!

A shot of the river and land to be fought over....





So, we will fictionalise the area for our battles.  I will write up a proper intro with some atmospheric back story in due course.....

Meanwhile, I have been painting some command figures.  First up, GD. Reynard de Champignon, Divisional commander of the Cavalry Division.





Also, GD. Bouquet Garni, commander of the Second Division.





Still to come....Brigade Commanders...

You chose a so picturesque place for battlefield!
Eager to see it in battle!
And the Brigadier's names, exotic 
Cheers!

Very inspiring! I think the Perrys I bought 5 or 6 years' ago may get painted some time.

Lovely pictures, look forward to seeing the battle. Perries do some really nice command figures.

[Digits]

Cheers fellas!

A couple more Brigade commanders, “Confit de Canard” and  “Patrice Millefeuilles”

[DintheDin]

Hey! They look great!
Sorry for the intervention, but they really deserve a gros plan!
Cheers!

[Digits]

Cheers for that mate!

[vodkafan]

I will soon have those strutting Gallic peacocks running for France Monsieur!

[Ray Rivers]

Nice additions, Digits!

I, and my (when I get it done) tiny Anglo-Spanish 'army' hate you!!!!
Great work by the way.

Remember if you are playing an Anglo-Spanish army versus the French in the Peninsula, you get +2 to every die roll! 

[DintheDin]

Nice additions, Digits!

Remember if you are playing an Anglo-Spanish army versus the French in the Peninsula, you get +2 to every die roll! 

Yes!
You may even ask all the French to be put in a huge 1-man width column and kill all of them at once with one single cannonball

Funny...but I don’t recall seeing either of these Hard and fast  rules when reading the book......maybe someone tore out the pages?
