The first part of my Austrian army for the Napoleonic wars is ready for submission. The figures are in 15mm scale and are a mixture of Old Glory and AB. I fact all the infantry was a very generous gift from one of my blog readers.
There are 9, 24 figure infantry units, 2 extra four figured stands in the back plus 6, 2 figure skirmisher stands. That a a total of 236 15mm Infantry figures.
6 batteries of artillery (all 6 pounders), 3 large Cuirassiers Formations (all Old Glory Figures and 4 command stands. That brings the on this picture to 24 crew figures, six guns and 44 mounted figures.
The view of the Austrian host from a French regiment - note these were not painted by me as they look to good!
From a points perspective, that brings this submission to:
Infantry/crew 260 figures @ 2/eachfor = 520 points
6 guns @ 4/each = 24 points
44 Mounted @ 4/each = 176 points
Grand total = 720points
There are some more artillery and lighter calvary units still to come.

Yoiks! That is a generous gift indeed, and you've made the most of it Miles, well done. I'm always impressed to see serried ranks of Napoleonics and these don't disappoint. I also like the ochre yellow of the artillery - often a challenging colour to get right. Miles, what rules will you be using for these?
Another 720 points to add to Miles' points stonk...
Always great to see Napoleonic Austrians, these are lovely and the artillery is ace!

You have been a busy, busy bee! A great start to the Austrians :)
ReplyDeleteTake cover!
ReplyDeleteNice Nappies ..
fantastic effort on these
ReplyDeleteAs for rules - I'm leaning towards General D'Armee. The club is doing a big Waterloo Campaign using Blucher and once we're done with that I'm going to run some test games to learn General D'Armee. I really like the command system in those rules.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! And the start the the end run points bombs methinks :-)
ReplyDeleteI too really like the GdA command system - you really feel like the Divisional Commander with decreasing levels of control through the Brigade Commanders and to the line units. I'm going to use them for the Crimean War.
That's a great coincidence as we just played our second game of GdA last night. We're really liking the rules on the whole. They definitely have loads of Napoleonic 'character' to them.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, some of the Anglocentric modifiers are a bit hard to take. For example the 95/60th Rifles get a bonus to skirmishing above all others (this somehow overlooking that many French units had tremendous experience with skirmish warfare during the Revolutionary and early Empire period) and the British, apparently, were the only army that could give a volley and charge (cue eye roll). This all being said the rules can be easily be adjusted to suit specific taste.
More epic pa8nt bombing Miles. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThey look fab Miles!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning output. Each and every point is very well deserved.
ReplyDeleteAlways love to see a wall of Austrians - great work Miles.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Miles!
