A brand new army graced the table - The Saxons - in this Napoleonics encounter. The Saxons, supported by some French heavy cavalry, went toe-to-toe with a joint Austrian/Prussian force.
The respective centres never really grappled with each other properly before the end of the game, although the Austrian Grenadiers did make contact with some Saxon Guard. On the wings, the Austrian and Prussians had the better of the evening, although the action was gentlemanly deemed 'inconclusive'.
Great to see one of the more over-looked armies of the period make an appearance, with interesting uniforms, standards and command vignettes.
Very nicely done, the command base is a nice diorama as is the wounded soldier.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! If you do not mind me asking, what size slotta bases where used for the infantry and cavalry? I've been thinking about basing this way for my 40mm project.
ReplyDeleteHi there, yes mostly 40x40mm bases, with 4 figures per base
ReplyDeleteIf the owner of the Saxons wants some half cuirass torsos to do the Zastrows I'm sure I have some spares. You know my mail
