Bulking out my 1806 Prussians in 15/18mm

Since the days of Lasalle 1st edition, I have been meaning to bulk out my ever-victorious 1806 Prussians* from Principles of War.
*Seriously, they have never lost a game! It's like Bloodbowl Halflings - you never expect them to do well, so anything positive is a miracle.
Two more sets of 1806 Prussians - two more sets of blurry pictures

 After years of sitting on the painting desk, I did these from scratch - Fusilliers 
A more mixed variety of poses, including extra musicians, as they will be in looser formation and skirmishing in front of my main Prussian columns.
Marching to certain... something?
Line will fire...

Got to love Hussars!


Charge! (What else will hussars do?)


Run away!
 
Yellows final stand, just gone back and sorted the white bleed on the hats!

Three musketeer units bulked out.
Five stands across three units, which allows me to free up other stands to make more units (it's a long and very dull story).
 
The yellow unit will get an extra base soon too.

With the advent of 'Soldiers of Napoleon' the task became much more manageable, and I finally got round to doing some Dragoons.


Four bases to be shared by two units


Marked the back of the bases across all the units too as I am having difficulty telling them apart!

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.

"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,...
