10mm French Cavalry Divisions from 1st Corps and 7th Corps for 1870

FINALLY!
The missing Horse Artillery battery, and a massive thank you to Leon at Pendraken for whipping the casting dwarves raw until they agreed to produce a spare Cuirassier command figure to be General Bonnemains.


This completes 1st Corps in its entirity and also 7th Corps Cavalry division


Ready for action


Obligatory top view

 

 

Almost completed French 1st Corps (a general and a battery to add) and the other half of Bonnemains's Cuirassier Division from 7th Corps done. All in my V&B basing system for use in Black Powder.

1st Corps Cavalry, 2nd & 6th Lancers, 3rd Hussars and 11th Chasseurs a Chevel, 7th Dragoons and Gen Duhesme


The dragoons did not see action in the first battles of the war, but I just had to do them


They're a pretty batch


Off they trot


One day, they might even get to be used


Mac Mahon and corps artillery assets (that need one more base of horse artillery)


Top down


It's almost Prussian in its weight of guns


BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM


2nd and 3rd Cuirassiers from 2nd Reserve Cavalry Division, attached to 7th Corps and accompanying horse artillery, Bonnemains will arrive later.


Standing by, enjoying the view


"Yeah, you keep waving that sword mate, we're staying 'ere!"


"Oh come on lads, please!"

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.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav.

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
