10mm Great Northern War Swedish forces for a friend.

Last two Swedish cavalry units, generic units to use up the figures.


Charge!


Top view


Side view


Off we jolly well go!


It's like the Grand National!


Get 'em!
 
 
Penultimate batch of Swedes done for Lee.

HRH reviews the colours


"You there, with the flag, no not you..."


It is one flag for each of Lee's infantry units


"Back! Back! I tell you!"


Like the bosses sleeves


High command


Which way we going?


Going that way!


One way to use up flags!


Inevitable top shot


Gun line


Ready guns


Had fun with the limbers


Bring horse artillery, they are ready to go


That's a lot of firepower


Getting Gettysburg vibes here
 
Seven more units done for Lee's collection, taking him to 12.
Some of these even travelled to Switzerland to be worked on!
I do apologise about the lack of diaeresis over some of the letters.

Starting with two more infantry units.
Narke Varmland




I've since sorted the bottom of that flag


Off they go


Dal, being berated by a Narke Varmland officer.


And I've straightened that pike!


Ready for action


Quite an impressive bunch


Brigaded together


Top view


You thought that was a decent amount of figures and units?
100 Swedish cavalry


Sources say the Swedes rode with their knees behind each other, so you get a tightly packed wedge.


Vasterbotten




Sodra Skanska




It's a good line


Player's eye view


Even works in two lines, just!


Ostgota


Twenty figures per unit over four bases gives quite the impression of BIG units. I love 10mm!


Charge? You had to ask?


Abo Och Bjorneborgs


Big boys
 
 
Forgot the Leivregementet Til Hast, gaurds cavalry regt!   :o




 First off, five tricorned infantry units, all based for ReG, MeG's renaissance spin-off for Lee.

Sodermanland


Mixing Pendraken mk I and mkII flags, thanks Leon for sorting those


Top view


Back view


Told you they were Sodermanland! I labelled all the bases as although the units are ROUGHLY similar, they all have subtle differences (hat piping, leg colours, etc)


Kronoberg


Top view, grenadiers are from the Pendraken Marlburian ranges


"What do you mean about face?"


Fresh off the blocks today, Upplanders


Eight loose shot, ten close pike for the visual effects.


I like the effect here


I'm not sure all units had grenadiers attached, certainly some were consolidated to assault parties. Lee decided he wanted them intergrated into units, so I enjoyed trying to find their mitre details, Uppland is one I definitely found and is correct.


The line fires.


Player's eye view


Skaraborg


I really love their flags, very eye catching (mk 2, type II)


Again, as Lee sees them


Livgardet Tu Fot (oneof the world's longest active units)


Firing line detail


Pikes detail


How did that get there! Since removed


All five units


That's an A5 container filled already!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.  I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!    Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Grib...

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

 Mark and I met up for a game at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club. My Imperial Guard vs his Austrians, but he had taken an earlier list (1806), whereas mine was back to 1811. This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way. Soldiers of Napoleon has three things you can do on each card, an amount of units that can move, a rally state and special events. Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
