Iain sent me some photos of a game he played this week with his 20/25mm Napoleonic armies. There were 485 figures on the table, most of them Higgins, with one battalion of Hinton Hunt, one of Garrison and a few odd Hintons and Minifigs here and there.
They are all vintage figures (not one less than 20 years old he thinks) and as far as I know, they’ve all been painted and based by Iain himself. The brushwork is fantastic and the sight of all these old soldiers massed on the table is enough to bring a tear to the eye of even the most hardened “new schooler”.
I don’t have a game narrative from Iain so I’ve made up my own – apologies to him for any errors!
The British are defending a vital river crossing.
The French commander sends in the cavalry including elements of the Guard.
Dutch Red Lancers supported by Carabiniers.
The British cavalry counter-attack.
With all these horsemen about the safest place is in square.
The French infantry advance.
Those French columns look unstoppable.
Steady lads...present arms!
Merde!
Picton with the Hinton Hunt's see them off in the same old style (at least that's my take on things!)
My thanks to Iain for letting me share the pictures of his superb troops here.
