Sir Has Arrived

A week later than advertised but Sir has arrived.  Hope this is not a reflection of his battlefield performance.

These are all metal Perry Miniatures, I thought Sir deserved nothing less. The more uniform look and posing reflect the seasoned status of "ma boys".

This of course means that I am one 12 figure unit away from my planned 30 point army.

 They are started, but I am also working on some Zvezda French Cuirassiers for a friend which are really great looking figures. So the next post for January is still a little in the air.

Seeing in 2020 With A Bang.

First of all may I wish you all the best for the New Year.

In 2019 I managed to play far more games than in previous years and as you may recall the "Rebels & Patriots" ruleset used at the club sent me into the world of 28mm ACW. Here is the latest  offering for the Confederate forces.

The artillery now adds a little more punch to the rebel forces. I have also completed the officer and his unit required in the rules and should have them based and photographed by the weekend.

That leaves one more twelve infantry figure unit to complete and that will be the phase 1 Confederates completed. Then it will be time to move onto the Union (Hurrah Boys, Hurrah!). The relatively small numbers involved in these rules and the guarantee of them seeing battle as soon as they are complete means this is an achievable goal - as long as I stay focussed. 

I have other  plans for the ACW; this time for larger scale battles using "classic" Hinton Hunt and Jacklex 20mm figures. More on this in February.
