Just a couple of photos of a battle taking place using my new toys.
The Neapolitans even with their poor leadership are fast becoming a favourite with me (perhaps sub-consciously reflecting my own generalmanship ?!) . This Brigadier has a very mediocre level of only 6.
Garibaldi watches a column of Red shirts march towards the enemy .
A rare bird !- an enthusiastic Neapolitan General , converted from a Irregular ACW general . One of the problems with Irregular is that they are true 25mm and have a style all of their own so not many 'modern' figures match them size wise . Hopefully at the forthcoming Reading show I will be able try and source some similar types. This photo was taken on some new shelving we have had put up in the living room - my wife said - 'I hope you are NOT thinking of putting some of your toy soldiers on there ! ?' - I hastily said I was only trying out their suitability for photography - she remains unconvinced !.
Good to see you hard at work. I keep telling myself that it's a new period that I should avoid like the plague.
ReplyDeleteYou are making that increasingly difficult.
They are as colourful as Napoleonics - but without all that fiddly lace work ! ,Tony
DeleteLooks terrific - the enthusiastic general obviously got his leave pass at long last!
ReplyDeleteIrregular 25mm - hmmm - mumble mumble; Irregular 20mm - mumble mumble....
It is rumoured they have their own definition of a millimetre. I wouldn't know anything about that, of course.
Irregular are a bit of a law unto themselves - fantastic mail order service though , Tony
DeleteGreat looking layout. You can fill the shelves with military books if figures aren't acceptable. See you at Reading with luck.
ReplyDeleteShe has designated them a no toy area - she is aware of the slow march of little lead feet invading the living room ! . I will be about the S&A Scenics stand at times over the weekend - hope to bump into you , Tony
