Hi all.

If you have a PC and printer you can make your own using decal paper.

Theres some YouTube tutorials knocking about.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s been a long time since I looked into it.

Hi all, could somebody please give me the stat line and point cost for French Curassiers?

I only own Albion Triumphant 1, and have a box of models sat doing nothing.

im aware they didn’t make contact with British troops (?) but better on the table top than in a box!

Thanks in advance,

John

I looked into native irregulars for my Japanese.
Quite a lot of the irregular units were equipped with Japanese kit and uniforms, but I wanted them to look different to the rest of my army, so used the Kachin militia set with the Burmese scouts and they look perfect against photos of Burmese pro Japanese militia.

Thanks for the detailed answer, Artful, I’ll give it a go.

Theyre not running away, just want to be first to the fight!!

Haskeer replied to the topic Sourcing Miniatures in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 9 months ago

Thanks Artful, I’ve actually started doing exactly as you suggest!

Hi all.

I wouldn’t normally post a request such as this on a Warlord Games forum, but I have searched their catalogue first with no joy –

Does anyone know of a company that makes Napoleonic French command groups in a running pose?
Any info will be gratefully received!

Thanks, IO.

I’ll certainly look into those.

I don’t mind using a few ‘weaker’ units to add a bit of jeopardy into a game, so I’ll probably have a couple of units downgraded to conscript.

John.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi all.</p>
I’m painting up a battalion each of Swiss line and Irish light and Italian line, initially with the thought of only to break up a sea of blue.

In Albion Triumphant, it mentions playing around with army list upgrades to represent some of the foreign units (presumably upgrading to tough fighters, veterans…[Read more]

If you haven’t already encountered him, check out Mel’s YouTube channel – The Terrain Tutor.

Hes got some great videos if you fancy making your own.

Building up your scenery collection is typically a life long endeavour, but Nat’s list is a great starting point.

I make some of my own pieces, but most of mine comes from Last Valley (Andy), who makes loads of good pieces, very cheap for what you get. He does loads of the shows, but obviously they won’t be happening any time soon. You can get…[Read more]

Thanks

Hi all, just been looking at the French army lists on p.108. In the main block (1+ Infantry Brigade), it says, under 1-3 Line Infantry Regiments (bold) that “Each regiment must have between 1 and 4”. Obviously a typo, but what must they have 1-4 of?

Thanks in advance,

John.

Thanks IO, and again Nat.

Haskeer replied to the topic Napoleonic French New Player Questions in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 3 months ago

Ha ha! I bought Napoleons Army by Lucien Rousselot. I’d heard it was the bible of French uniform – I’m still none the wiser!

What did Al Murray once say – What would we be without rules? French.

Thanks, I was worried someone would say that!

Hi all.

Ok, so here’s the situation – I’m building a French Army, to fight my friends Peninsular British. I’ve chosen to set my force in 1814, so they won’t look out of place in a Waterloo setting.
Im having a bit of a meltdown at the masses of info on French uniforms, some, imo, quite contradictory.
I have a couple of basic questions regardi…[Read more]

John – I’m based in Blackpool. Totally new to the game, and very early stages of building Peninsular French. My mate is building Peninsular British. We also play Bolt Action, Japanese and USMC respectively.
