GrahameH. 15mm German Units of the Franco-Prussian War

Having finished my 15mm 1866 Austrian Army I decided to finish off the last of my German Army for the Franco-Prussian War.

All the figures are 15mm from Essex. 

First up are three Bavarian Infantry Battalions. Each of 32 figures and a unit of 9 Jägers.

That’s 210pts for the 105 figures

Keeping with the Bavarians, next up are some Light Cavalry. 

18 mounted figures that 72 pts

Next 18 (72pts) Barvian Curassiers 

Next some generals. Three Prussian General (24pts)

Now some Prussian Cavalry. Two Prussian Hussar Regiments

Finally a unit of Prussian Currasseirs

So for those three cavalry units, each of 18 mounted figures is 216pts.

I think that it for the moment for the nineteenth century, although I am a few Generals short. Not too sure what to do next, I’ll have to look at the lead mountain.

Oh total points (618pts) I think.

 This is just a quick post as I haven’t submitted one and it’s getting close to the time limit. Last year I rebased some of my Napoleonics deciding that I liked the 1 to 20 scale large units. So just before the challenge started I began to rebase my Franco-Prussian war armies to 1 to 33 scale(ish). Unfortunately I didn’t finish so I am having to paint up so more units just to finish the Prussian Army. Hence the artillery battery below 

Three Prussian Limbers and guns

Three Prussian field guns, and I have just notice a bit of a mistake. 

All together

 

This year I decided to see if I could get an army painted during the challenge. I have a large metal mountain, or rather mountains, to choose from. So I decided to buy another new army to go with my 15mm FPW Prussians. 1866 Austrians. Now I have tried to be sensible, given I only have a 6’x4’ table so I am looking at painting 12 infantry battalions, 3 cavalry Regiments and 2 artillery batteries. However, I am already thinking of making it larger. “I think I have a problem, I must be strong”. Hopefully I will post the first pictures at the weekend. 

Total for this post 

Limbers & guns 72pts
