An assortment of gunners crewed the French 'grand' artillery battery.
The Britains Deetail French Cuirassiers looked impressive.
I think these chaps are Austrians.
An overview of the game showing toys, terrain and some feet.
There seemed to be a lot of those bloody Cuirassiers!
The French infantry looked a lot more managable.
The Frenchies looking for trouble.
The Austrians(?) taking up position in the ruins.
The French fording the river.
More French crossing the river.
* And no, I can't remember what I was originally looking for.

Super, but my enjoyment is muted by the thought of having to crawl around to move all those single figures - apart from the protesting cartilage, think of the collateral damage to the figures. Oooh - Oooh - i have to sit down…
There must be a fitness element to these games, too - it would be possible to wear an elderly opponent out by forcing him to keep moving his army.
Thanks for showing this - good.
Those grey guys are likely to be Austrian jager or (maybe) landwehr or freikorps. But I see some Austrian line infantry and grenadiers on the French side in the bottom picture - or are they retreating, being chivvied across the river by the French behind them?
One feels that these big scales are undergoing something of a renaissance - no bad thing!

Quite so - hence my recent investment in movement bases for my own 54mm chaps!

You are taking this a lot more seriously than did the players! More unlikely toys will follow shortly.....
Nice looking figures...

It's so long ago that I can't remember what the figures were. Quite a lot of Britains Deetail I think.
The figures were Britain's detail, Airfix Napoleonics and some solid Timpo Napoleonics. They were from Mike Curry's 1/32 toy soldier collection.
