10mm Franco-Prussian 1st Corps, 2nd Division

Five years after starting 1st Corps for the Franco Prussian War, I have begun 2nd Division. better late then never... Grin

So, while waiting, in these weird times, for other bits to arrive, I decided to restart this stalled projects. I have all the bits to finish it, so should be done by 2025?

Well not quite five years, here are the divisional assets to add to the rest. Artillery, mitrelleuse, Chasseurs a Pied and the late, great Abel Douay.

Finishes off the division nicely!

Right, must be time to think about 1st Division now...

Four infantry regiments, including 1st Algerian Tirailliur regiment

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian. Two Prinz August self molded skeletons and two games workshop skeletons. Back view Quite a mix of weaponry Charge Antediluvian Miniatures recently produced these, and I just had to have them!

The four main characters based on the illustrations within 'The Terror of The Lichemaster warhammer 2nd edition mini-campaign.

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!

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
