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.
 
Hussars!


Embedded in their home units


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!

And added in to their new home units

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!

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. 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...
