Monday Night Napoleonics

Two Napoleonic games were being played this Monday night. One with French vs Anglo-Portuguese, the other an epic encounter between the Austrians and French.

All in all, a bad night for the French.

The large majority of the figures are the excellent Perry Miniatures, which are a one-stop-shop for almost all 28mm armies and sub-eras. A large minority are Victrix, with some Warlord Games and Front Rank models included. All superb ranges.




















FoW - Monday Game

 An encounter between German Panzer grenadiers and late war Americans. The game ended up in a stalemate, and therefore a draw, with neither side being willing to expose their tanks to murderous AT fire from the other side.
