From RayR - 2mm Almansa 1707 - Dozevill's French & Spanish Dragoon Brigade - 21pts

 


I seem to be on a roll with the French at the moment?


Dozevill's Dragoon Brigade fought in the 1st line on the left wing under the Marques d'Avaray


They are based on 30x30 bases, which is half the size of the infantry bases, being 60x60.
Each base represents roughly 90 men.


In Dozevill's brigade were 3 Squadrons of French Courtbonne Dragoons, 3 squadrons of French Bouville's Dragoons & 2 Squadrons of the Spanish/Irish Mahoney's Dragoons.
The flags for all these units are purely speculative and taken from various online sites and changed in Microsoft Paint.


Mahoney's Dragoons


Courtbonne Dragoons


Bouville's Dragoons

Each Dragoon base is worth 2.5 points
So my Dragoons are worth 20 points
Brigadier 1/2 point

So a total of 20.5 points

You're really blitzing through these tiny figures, Ray. At this rate you'll be done with this project in no time. I am very impressed by your ability to focus on one project for so long and for your ability to focus on such small models when you are painting. I struggle with anything under 25mm.

  4. Great work Ray. Any one else getting flashbacks on the Sandbag year when Ray won the challenge pumping out the same units in 15mm

  5. These look great, Ray. I can actually see the horse and rider here. But how's your math, they are on 30x30 bases, but that is not half of 60x60, it is only a quarter?

    1. I've just checked the spreadsheet - for 2mm figures it's 5 points for a 60x30 base.

    2. Oh, so it was just Ray making a mistake? Who would have thought that?

    3. Well, I have been told that he needs to take his socks off to count higher than 10 (don't ask about how he counts above 20! *shudder*)! ;)

  6. Cracking Ray, those cavalry look great.

    As a historical point the, Comte de Bouville hunt is still conducted every year, yet to attend but apparently a fine ride.

    Cheers

    1. I tried to tie them in so they didn't stick out too much.
