1864 - Battle of Bierborstal ORBATS and orders

Just a dump of information I sent/recieved from the players in this scenario.

General brief - Prussian players.

Subject: Re: Prussian orders

I, personally, will be at E with the 11th regt and 3rd Hussars I will order them both forward to attack the 1st redoubt on the hill, then on to the second redoubt

24th Regt will be ordered to move rapidly on the first redoubt to support 11th regt's left flank then support the attack on second redoubt.

64th Regt will be ordered to echelon left to protect 11th regt's right flank from the enemy infantry to 64th regt's front.

Once the redoubts are taken all three regts will attack the large force of enemy shown on the map. ie turn East (24th should clear Bierborstel on the way). Push the enemy off the map

I will send a mounted officer to K to order the 6^th Cuirassiers & 4^th Hussars to entertain the enemy to their front, preventing them from moving west.

Brigadier Friedrich von Tegetthoff

Artillery (at B) to commence bombardment of enemy redoubts. Once assault on redoubts complete to reposition and give fire supporting attack on Bierborstel

35^th Infantry (at D) assault redoubts after 1 hours bombardment then move and take Bierborstel

60^th Infantry (at H) to attack into woods to front then to swing round to the North, outflanking Bierborstel and driving off any enemy.

Brigade HQ to accompany 35^th infantry.

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...

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 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 Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!
