This Friday's remembrance is of a stand of later Napoleonic French Line Infantry Regimental Headquarters as provisioned by Calpe Miniatures.

I'm not what you'd call a fast painter. But I have recently finished some Napoleonic figures to aid with the gaming, e.g. these racing/galloping Prussian Feldjaegers from Calpe Miniatures. For more head on over to vonpeterhimself.wordpress.com/2025/02/23/s...

Today's remembrance focusses on Prussians of the Seven Years War variety. The musketeers of Infantry Regiment 19 Markgraf Karl backed up by the fusiliers of IR 42 Markgraf Heinrich. Other bits and pieces from other regiments hovering in the edges of the image.

Later Napoleonic Prussian cavalry of the 2nd Pommeranian Landwehr Cavalry Regiment variety. I really like the posing of the officer in the front rank. Calpe Miniatures.

Friday remembrancing: a Napoleonic Bavarian battalion. More precisely the 1/4th Sachsen-Hildburghausen Infantry Regiment.

Later Napoleonic Saxon artillery this time. Locally this represents the 1st Saxon Foot battery (6pdr) "Dietrich" of 1813.

An Austrian 12pdr position battery to bring some weight to my Austrian army. For some undoubtedly suspect reason I decided that all my 12 pdr batteries would be accompanied by a mounted officer. If nothing else it is an indicator/reminder on the table top.

More defenders of the Motherland. Later Napoleonics representing the 1st battalion of the Bourtirki Infantry regiment from the Russian Army.

Later Napoleonic Saxon command. These have been sitting on the pigmenting desk for year after year after year - you get the idea! But now they are done. Hurrah!

The son & heir and I played a couple of General d'Armee 2 games over our Festive period. Good times were had. Pictures from the first game. Not sure why the Prussian landwehr are to be seen in a Russian village. These things can happen when one person organises the armies & another the terrain 🤓

Rereading/refreshing the General d'Armee 2 rules in preparation for a game against The son & heir tomorrow. My second game after a trial solo game a few months back

Because the red & green has a somewhat Christmassy flavour I am happy to present a later Napoleonic Polish 6pdr Foot Battery as pictured from the delivery end.

More Napoleonics. Austrians. Generalmajor Quasdannovic's brigade. Three battalions of the Reuss-Plauen Infantry Regiment, two battalions of Albert Gyulai Infantry Regiment, a 6 pounder Foot Battery and the Generalmajor himself.

Back to the Seven Years War. These were painted so many decades ago. 😱 The 7th Driesen Kuirassier Regt alongside the 4th Katte Dragoon Regt lead by the famed Seydlitz with a helpful trumpeter from the 5th "BlacK" Hussars.

Remembrancing: Napoleonic wargaming at the Call to Arms convention in Wellington, NZ in 2007. A group of us were involved in a campaign that inevitably ended up with all the armies converging. This finale had armies arriving from all over at various times. A fun day if memory is not hallucinating! 🤓

Generallieutenant Raglovich. Commander of the 29th (Bavarian) Division, 1813

The Prussian Brandenburg Dragoon Regiment on a mission for the army in 1813. They were painted for a convention game and black seemed the quickest facing colour to paint. This picture from 18 July 2007 stumbled upon today and now it's here. 🤓
