It is 146 years since the Battle of Sedan during the Franco-Prussian War. This resulted in the capture of French Emperor Napoleon III and his army, and for all intents and purposes decided the war in favour of Prussia and its allies, though fighting continued under a new French government.

The 120,000 strong French Army of Châlons, commanded by Marshal Patrice de MacMahon and accompanied by Napoleon III, was attempting to lift the Siege of Metz, only to be caught by the Prussian Meuse Army and defeated at the Battle of Beaumont. The Meuse Army and the Prussian Third Army, commanded by Field-Marshal Helmuth von Moltke and accompanied by Prussian King Wilhelm I and Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, cornered MacMahon's army at Sedan in a massive encirclement battle. Marshal MacMahon was wounded during the attacks and command passed to General Auguste-Alexandre Ducrot, until it was taken over by General Emmanuel Félix de Wimpffen.

The battle opened with the Army of Châlons, with 202 infantry battalions, 80 cavalry squadrons and 564 guns, attacking the surrounding Prussian Third and Meuse Armies, which totaled 222 infantry battalions, 186 cavalry squadrons and 774 guns. Napoleon had ordered MacMahon to break out of the encirclement, and the only point where that seemed possible was La Moncelle, whose flank was protected by a fortified town. The Prussians also picked La Moncelle as one point where they would mount a breakthrough. Prince George of Saxony and the Prussian XI Corps was assigned to the task, and General Baron von der Tann were ordered to attack Bazeilles on the right flank.

This was the opening engagement, as the French First Corps had barricaded the streets, and enlisted the aid of the population. Von der Tann sent a brigade across pontoon bridges at 0400 hours, but encountered stiff resistance, holding only the southern end of the town. The combat drew new forces, as French brigades from the First, Fifth and Twelfth Corps arrived.

>>49124177
At 0800 the Prussian 8th Infantry Division arrived, and von der Tann decided it was time for a decisive attack. He had not been able to bring artillery to bear from long range, so he committed his last brigade to storm the town, supported by artillery from the other side of the Meuse. His artillery reached the Bazeilles at 0900 hours.

The fighting continued to spread to the south of the town, and the 8th Infantry Division was sent to reinforce the Bavarians fighting at La Moncelle, where they had attempted to mount a breakthrough of the French defense. Fighting began in earnest at 0600, and the wounded MacMahon had appointed General Auguste Ducrot to command, who received the news at 0700. Ducrot ordered the retreat that Moltke had expected, but was overruled almost immediately by General de Wimpffen, who had been given a commission by the government to succeed MacMahon were he to become disabled. Wimpffen then threw his forces against the Saxons at La Moncelle. This led to a brief rally for the French, who drove back the artillery around La Moncelle and pressed the Bavarians and the Saxons. However, with the taking of Bazeilles, and the arrival of fresh waves of Prussian troops, the counter-attack began to collapse.

But by 1100 hours, Prussian artillery took a toll on the French, while more Prussian troops arrived on the battlefield. After an intense bombardment and Prussian attacks from the northwest and east, and Bavarian attacks from the southwest, the Frebcg were driven into the Bois de la Garenne and surrounded. The French cavalry launched three desperate attacks on the nearby village of Floing where the Prussian XI Corps was concentrated. Their general was mortally wounded leading the very first charge and the two additional charges led to nothing but heavy losses. By the end of the day, with no hope of breaking out, Napoleon III called off the attacks.

The French lost over 17,000 men killed and wounded with 21,000 captured. The Prussians reported their losses at 2,320 killed, 5,980 wounded and 700 captured or missing.

The next day, Napoleon III ordered the white flag to be run up and surrendered himself and the entire Army of Châlons to Moltke and the Prussian King. The capture of the French emperor left the Prussians without an opposing government willing to make a quick peace. Indeed, two days after news hit Paris of Emperor Napoleon's III capture, the French Second Empire collapsed in a bloodless revolution, leading to the creation of a new provisional government which would carry on the war for five more months, sparing no effort to try to change France's fortunes.

The defeat at Sedan and the capture of Napoleon III and France's second line army, and with the first line French Army being shut up in Metz, decided the outcome of the war in Prussia's favor. With the Second Empire overthrown, Napoleon III was permitted to leave Prussian custody for exile in England, while, within a fortnight, the Prussian Meuse Army and Third Army went on to besiege Paris.

The debacle at Sedan was to haunt Napoleon III for the rest of his life. In 1873, Napoleon III's last words were addressed to his friend, doctor Henri Conneau:

>"Henri, were you there at Sedan?" (Henri, etiez-vous à Sedan?)
>"Yes, Majesty" (Oui, Sire)
>"We were not cowards at Sedan, were we?" (N'est-ce pas que nous n'avons pas été des lâches à Sedan?)

He died shortly after.

Question for all you HWG Bolt Action Folk.

Before I go all out on my starter kit, is BA a WYSIWYG Game?

That last time I assembled a game that had multiple weapon objects/options I was immediately told my units were unusable.

So, Norway BA-anon from the last thread here again. What's the standard size game for BA, and what kind of armored cars/tanks can I realistically use? The french & allied book seems to let me take 0-1 tank or armored car. Norway's entire armor pool in 1940 was 3 locally made armored cars and one tank (that they left in the depot, never saw combat - the tank was a Swedish L-120 chassis that they couldn't afford to pay shipping costs or armor plating on, they put on iron plates instead of the swedish steel ones. Both the cars and tank were captured by the germans and apparently were a favourite souvenir photo op).

If don't know if it addresses that, but the new Germany Strikes sourcebook (which is in our folder) has a theatre selector for the invasions of Denmark and Norway. You might want to look at that for help. There's a recent Osprey you might also like to check out, and the third volume of the well-known Funcken WW2 series has a section on Norway.

I think it's kind of hard to make BA a not WYSIWG game, since most everyone is armed with rifles and you don't really get that many spare MGs, mortars and stuff.

What game did you try? Was it hams?

Apologies, lacked any ability to reply for the past two days. Essentially the other anons were correct, except that I don't know if diluted craft glue will work (in terms of yellowing at least).

Basically find some small washers, and go ahead and paint them to match your board and/or bases. Cut a q-tip in half, and pull it through the eye of the washer stem first, until you kind of wedge it in the eye. Tease out the shape of a splash carefully (it's really easy to accidentally pull the entire cotton swab off the stick). Dip the splash marker in your chosen goo, making sure that you get dip washer and all so that the swab adheres to the washer. In my case, I used some future wax (which is basically a liquid acrylic floor wax) that was leftover from something else and had thickened to the point of a pretty stiff acrylic gel.* Hang the swab upside down and make sure the point is nice and straight so that when it dries, it's not drooping. When it is dry, if it isn't as stiff as you want, dip it one more time. If it is, take a pair of flush cutters and nip the stem as close to flush with the washer as you can. If it still isn't flush, trim it with a razor or an x-acto.

They're extremely cheap, quick, and easy to make, particularly if you have the materials already.


*I made a second batch after I first posted them, using future wax straight out of the bottle. I wound up dipping them twice, but the end result seems much the same with no need to "age" the wax.

I know one anon was talking about trying gloss varnish, and I'd like to try acrylic gel medium or water effects when I can get my hands on some.

Does it make me a terrible person that I sincerely hope that Chevauchee Anon's next project is
Five Men Doing Fights[/spoilers]?

>>49127062
Thanks for the colors and piping at least, can't see a way to add a tank on easyarmy, but we'll see. Would be fun to make "Norgestanken".
Also asking again about the point limit, since I have no idea about local scene, what's the usual game limit?

>>49128042
What do you do with the plastic part of the q-tip?

>>49128554
You nip it off as flush as you can with the bottom of the washer.

Found this site while I was looking for some information about where particular IJN ships were kitted out, as it has bearing on what particular colors they wore. It's pretty neat, actually. No idea how useful it will be to folks interested in the ground war, but I hope it's useful!

Its WYSIWYG-lite.

There are several categories of weapons like "Pistol", "smg" "rifle" or "light/medium/heavy machine gun"
Within each category the exact weapon is not important. For example, for a german rifleman its irrelevant if he carries a bolt action K98k or a semi-auto G41, G43 or any other rifle he might have found. They all are identical rule-wise because they count as "rifle".

You can't, however, equip him with a MG-42 claiming that is a rifle. Well, you could of course, and its totally fine if your opponent is ok with it, but things like that might get confusing really quickly.

>>49126950
Standard size for BA is around 1000 points.
Some people like smaller games around 750, others prefer 1500-2000.

There were british troops in Norway as well as French. Your guys might have acquired one of their tanks maybe?
You could also use a captured german early war tank. Maybe a Pz 2? The Ostfront book has rules for captured vehicles. The vehicle is inexperienced and gets the "unreliable" rule because of the lack of spare parts etc.

>>49128692
Unreliable and inexperienced would be fluffy for the one tank they did have! They practiced with it in a field and drove it straight into a tree...

>>49128867
true.

Is there a 28mm model of this L-120 tank?

>Is there a 28mm model of this L-120 tank?

I found a blog where a guy had one made:

>The model is from ‘Frontline Wargaming’. It is the chassis and running gear of a Pz.38(t) with a Vickers 6-ton(export) turret. The folks at Frontline were more than happy to help me out and were interested in this little project. The model turned up promptly and was cast absolutely fine. I did a fair bit of chopping and changing and added a maxim gun that a friend gave to me to the turret and added a piece of flash as the drivers hatch on the front. I couldn’t find any colour pictures of the tank and the ‘turn black and white pictures to colour’ program that I tried using failed me horridly, so I painted it in a typical interwar colour scheme.

It seems there are some cosmetic differences, but that could be easily greenstuffed away. I've been looking around at WW2 Norwegian stuff online and found this guy building a Rapid Fire 20mm force, you might like a look. He made a Ehrhardt 7.5 cm Model 1901 from various bits and pieces - after all when you're going to play something like the Royal Norwegian Army of WW2, then you have to be prepared for a lot of conversion and scratchbuilding.

The Heavy Gear Mech game. I had no idea it was WYSIWYG.

>>49128692
Ahh so I need to figure out what variation I want to take for my Grenadiera and Fallschirmjagers.

>>49129229
>German 7.5cm FK16 N.A

that "NA" stands for "neue Art" or "neue Ausführung" and means "new kind/version" i.e. the modernized version of the WW1 cannon.

For your Norwegians you might want to look if you can find an old version of that gun.
That being said, i have no idea what exactly they changed after WW1 so the gun might be fine to use.

>>49129728
At the very start i wouldn't bother to much with specific weapon setups. Just build a core force with lots of rifles (like 75% of your men), a few guys with smgs and a few with ARs mixed in and 1-3 guys with an lmg. Give a couple of riflemen a panzerfaust too.

Have you built anything yet?
How many men/boxes do you have?

After you played a couple of games you will see how each type of weapon performs and then you can re-arrange your existing minis to more smg-heavy squads or have a squad with focus on ARs, mass the panzerfausts into one etc.

>>49128933
I was curious and read a bit about that tank.

The swedish L-120 Stridsvagn looks almost exaclty as the L-60.

http://www.shapeways.com/product/M95LKD3TL/pv121a-stridsvagn-m-40l-28mm

The Toldi tank is based upon that one:

http://www.madbobminiatures.co.uk/shop/4587330663/toldi-tank/9975339

With a little change to the turret this might be your easiest option i think.

>>49130045
Konflikt 47 starter and 1 Fallschirmjagers army.

So 24 Grenadiera from the K47

And what feels like 3 sprue of Fallschirmjagers.

I've only built one grenadier with their Grenade launcher...looks like a panzerfaust

>>49130158
>Grenade launcher

Yes, probably a Panzerfaust.

Have you read the rules yet?
These are 1-shot weapons, so you might want to glue him a rifle onto his back.

The Assault rifles in the Fallschirmjäger sprues (FG-42) look different from the Stg-44 Assault rfiles in the Grenadier sprues, so keep that in mind. Rule-wise they are exactly the same though.

>>49131061
Congrats on the impending invasion! Hope everything goes well!

I'm putting together a small panzer grenadier force to learn BA with, and am curious about how gear would have changed for existing troops. Looking at 15 PzGrn in Italy and the Battle of the Bulge, the small bits of history I've found say it was reconstituted from a few Afrika Corps veterans that were in Europe at the time. Would they have been reequipped with 'late war' dress and equipment, or would they be wearing earlier stuff in amongst the later equipment? Would only fresher troops have newer gear, or were there periodic refreshes of uniforms?

I have some of the Perry Afrika Corps plastics and trying to figure out if they can be mixed in or not.

>>49131170
I would think the difference between desert gear and winter gear would be noticeable, but I'm not any kind of authority.

>>49131170
the AK uniform would have been replaced, you can't mix the figures.

On the general issue of changing equipment, it depends on stocks, where troops were equipped, are they a second line unit etc.

Fallshirmjager are good case study of the changing nature of German uniforms with the transition from their own/luftwaffe to more general Heer equipment as the war went on.

Might the upper cannon here match a 75mm M/39 mountain howitzer? Or rather, do you think anyone would have a problem?

Honestly, better to sit around focusing on tanks and stuff than getting in the way.

Though to be fair, I am of the belief that the best place for a father during birth times is down the pub with some friends, well out of the way of the proceedings. Perhaps consider having some comrades and alcohol around at home so collective tank enjoyment can be had?.

In wargaming news, Henry Hyde is stepping down from editing Miniature Wargames with Battlegames magazine, and the publisher is apparently making changes.
having given up on reading that magazine for several years now, I can't say I really care. Battlegames was better when it was it's own thing, a simple, collected set of articles, minimal focus on miniatures pron or flavour of the moment gaming. The combined MWBG magazine to me felt like it ended up becoming incredibly stale, very quickly. I suppose this is probably the case for almost all wargaming magazines, that medium being one of the most replaceable with purely online content these days, but I feel like MWBG ended up as a combo of the worst parts of both with endless focus on the same old Ancients, Napoleonics and 17th century guff dominating, and fantasy/sci-fi wargaming having supposedly been let out of it's ghetto section of the magazine to just pretty much disappear.
Plus the woman with creepy disembodied hands building terrain. never liked that.

Wargames, soldiers and strategy in my opinion continues to be the only worthwhile generalist (still mostly historicals) wargaming magazine by virtue of a longer production cycle and focusing issues on certain themes that may or may not be interesting. Plus the lists of who produces miniatures relevant to theme of the issue is really damn handy, with it's size comparisons and general overview of how complete the ranges are.

*slight edit, I remembered they removed the fantasy/sci-fi stuff from a short segment ...only to jam it back into another short segment of pretty much just figure releases.

In Italy, they certainly used their AK equip and tropical uniforms were very common there because the weather allowed it.

So, how was Napoleon III as a general (not looking at just Sedan, but every battle where he personally took command)? Was he really as shit as Republitards want us to believe, or were the Prussians simply too good?

I couldn't feel more totally differently oppositely whatever I can't words tonight.

I loved MWBG, and BG before it from the back issues I've read. There wasn't much sf/f, yeah, and I'd prefer MWBG and a regular SF/F wargaming magazine, but it was a magazine I really liked.

WS&S is pretty good, but only interesting enough to pick up every other issue when it's a topic I want to read about.

It's quite strong and sharp, and works best with fatty meat like mutton or pork. It'll burn all the way down if you're not used to strong alcohol. Quite a strong caraway flavor, for some it's and aquired taste. Also, get superior version made from potatoes, not that tryhard grain shit. Danish or Norwegian types are the best.

>>49134620

Miniature Wargames did try a spinoff magazine for sci-fi/fantasy before the merger but it never went beyond a test issue. I suspect that it's because the magazine buying segment of gamers tend to be older men playing historicals almost exclusively. I doubt there's that much of the younger audience which does actually buy magazines given how print media has been going, and for a lot of people, the advertising pamphlet that is White Dwarf will have been the only one that they were even aware of.
But also it was done before Age of Sigmar happened and suddenly a LOT of people were bailing out of exclusively playing warhammer AND 40k and into other games.

Good idea, wrong time, wrong audience.

One of the orkkiest things I've read about in a while. Right up there with the addition of quad 50's in the nose of PBY's in Black Cat duty (the implementation, not just the more dakka).

Norwegian BA army back again - thought I was going home to sleep and feed the cats for the night, but was called back by crying wife - back to cannon shitposting, haha.

>>49136998
To elaborate on the PBY's:

Essentially one of the pilots took four .50 cals, kicked out the front glass in the nose, poked them through, rigged up a mount and a firing mechanism. THEN they threw a heat resistant blanket over the whole mess, and the gunner that normally operated the twin .30s in the nose straddled the whole damn mess and did as usual while getting a very warm and hard prostate massage from the quad .50s he was riding on.

Tapping repeatedly on my desk waiting for my DAMN BOLT ACTION BRITS TO GET HERE ALREADY WHY IS THE POST SO GODDAMN SLOW

Also, working on a Lagertha mini for my wife. She runs Vikings in SAGA (she's Danish), and she's already got a Ragnar Lothbrok model (the History channel Ragnar, not the official SAGA one) and she's been trying to find a mini for Lagertha to act as a second Warlord for almost two years. Trouble is she wants it in a socketed base so she can have it in a SAGA-standard 40mm base when Lagertha's the Warlord, and so she can pull the model out and field it as a Hearthguard when she's using Ragnar as the Warlord. It's not a hard build at all; it's just time-consuming and irritating, because she likes having the edges of the base with sand/flock on them, so socketing the smaller base into the larger one just becomes a miserable experience.

Played a game of Sword & Spear in 15mm last night for the first time, Early Imperial Romans vs. Sassanids.

Interesting system with some clever mechanics, definitely had a simulationist "feel" to it since it's mostly based on unit cohesion and commanders make choices about whether to support the line at a weak point or whether to try and break through somewhere else. The system is very good at representing the effects of discipline, far more than a few morale checks which is sometimes the case with other games. Without going into detail, the rules were quite intuitive and had smart fixes that meant that it didn't feel "gamey".

I may be judging unfairly after a single game, but it seemed like the lines would meet and you would wait until the dice made some part of your line or your opponent's line weak and then it's all about positioning your commanders to manage the chaos as best you can. Or perhaps that's a deliberate simulation of ancient war.

>>49140115

I don't know why I take pictures on my phone, they usually look awful.

I had a front line consisting of 6 units of Legionaries, plus an auxilliary archer and foot unit on one wing and cavalry and psiloi on the other, with a unit of cav in reserve and my commanders spread across the line.

My opponent had 4 cataphract units interspersed with levy spearmen, armoured horse archers and another unit of armoured horse archers in reserve. We each had 3 captains.

First turn was a general advance.

Second turn saw my opponent get lots of command dice in the first phase, and he slammed into my 3 left legionary units for 1, 1 and 3 damage (Legionaries rout on 4 damage. Damage can be recovered by commanders but the more damage taken the harder it is to recover). I attack on the right but it falls flat with no damage either way.

Over the next few turns my legionaries slowly grind down the cataphracts and levy spearmen- once a unit of cavalry has a single point of damage it loses combat potency and levy spearmen lose their shieldwall (since they have lost cohesion). Meanwhile my disciplined Romans are regaining their composure from earlier losses and are actually recovering lost cohesion quicker than they are losing it.

My slingers get in a lucky shot and annihilate his slingers on the right. Then my slingers, crappy 2-dice slingers, advance and get a flank against his cavalry on the right in the second turn and roll well enough to hurt them badly. The roman cavalry then finish off the Sassanid cavalry and go on to smash 3 units with flank charges in the next turn. General advances by legionaries in the centre, including the death of a Sassanid captain, cement this as a victory for Rome!

So an old friend from my Squad Leader-playin' days visited this weekend, for the first time in a long while. We decided to celebrate by running a short-but-sweet scenario from Crescendo of Doom, based around a planned attempt by the Germans to seize Dutch Queen Wilhelmina during the 1940 invasion. I was the stalwart defenders of Holland, he was the filthy Hun invader.

I would have taken some pics and done a more detailed AAR, but the actual game was shorter than the time it took to set up! In the second turn a whole bunch of his Kradschützen literally drove straight into a ambush where I had the two LMGs at either end of a hedged road. His elite 10-3 and 10-2 leaders went down straight away, cut to pieces in the first burst!

However he had a second column which flanked my little defensive hedgehog and charged on the large stone manor in the centre of the board, where he supposed the Royal Family to be. In fact I had stuffed it with my remaining troops, while keeping the Royals hidden in a nearby wooden outbuilding. Unfortunately, in his Teutonic ruthlessness, my opponent assaulted this very building during their approach on the manor. All my squads were of course "dummied" until they moved or fired, so he didn't know who he had just gunned down until he finished the assault. Having just blown away the people he was supposed to have captured, we agreed it counted as a defeat for the Germans. We adjoined to the pub where it was drinks on him all night.

My knowledge of medieval shields is limited, but i think most were made from wood. A shield made from steel would be kinda heavy to carry around.

In that case anon I shall entrust you with a project you shall likely never finish. You must restore, reconstruct or otherwise produce at least one Axis and one Allied tank to their WW2 specifications (they must run under their own power), and recruit a number of compatriots numerous enough to man these two tanks (appropriately equipped and armed of course) and make up at least a section sized infantry element on each side. Then, you will find the nearest field, town or other suitable battlefield of your choosing and using whatever tabletop wargaming ruleset you feel most appropriate, play a proportionally scaled up match using these assets as your 'miniatures'. It is at once the most unfinishable of historical wargamer projects, but also the one which must be finished the most. Godspeed good anon, our hopes and prayers go with you.

How about copying paint chipping technique for vehicles? Basically put a dot or scratch of lighter blue with a center dot of rust or metal. Occasional shallow scratches are just the lighter paint

So, for Bolt action (and maybe some CoC afterwards), which infantry box (the simple one with 25-40 dudes) is the best to start with? Not counting German (everybody plays them anyways) and Perry's.

>>49147438
Wood, except for bucklers (small shields) and post-1500 weird Mediterranean nonsense.

>>49151765
Literally, any of them.

>>49151953
Makes sense really, a hunk of metal as big as a shield and thick enough to withstand blows would be heavy as fuck.

OK so I've had time to get this report up and running, hope you enjoy.

Having set up the terrain with my opponent, and successfully having win the toss to pick sides, I made the bold, brave and wise choice to defend in the scenario hoping to use the cover of a large forested area and the narrowness of the battlefield to stem the tide of French conscripts.

The left flank, bounded by an impassable marsh and the large forest which dominated the centre was to be a stalemate of long range artillery bombardment for much of the battle largely for 2 reasons, firstly neither army wanted to march into the mouths of their enemy’s guns and secondly the generals were much too busy directing the efforts of their soldiers on the opposite flank.

>>49154234
On the right flank the attacking French were much more aggressive, determined to force their way past the outskirts of the forest, fortunately for them all that opposed them were my elite Hussars and Cuirassiers, more than a match for the French pansies who opposed them.

The initial clashes on that flank were rather half-hearted attempts from the Austrian cavalry, clearly already deciding how to spend the spoils they were sure to win after their certain victory over the French light horse. Despite these early reverses French cavalry were able to maul the first French forays into the right flank, routing 2 units of light cavalry and overrunning 2 massed artillery batteries, although casualties were reasonably heavy for the Austrian cavalry no units were lost in their entirety.

>>49154260
With the French army four tenths of the way to breaking and not a single Austrian unit having been forced to quit the field I was feeling pretty good about my position. So what if the French had managed to create a lot of pressure on my right flank and left a lot of units close to their break point? My right flank was still strong, and I could always weaken the centre to try and support the right.

On the left flank French cannon had bought a unit of Chevauleger down to a third of its starting strength but in general artillery fire between the two sides had been without major impact. It was at this point that the first French troops began to approach the hill which acted as the centre point for my Austrian battle line. Deciding that aggression is in fact the better part of valour my brave conscripts charged down the hill to engage the counterpart French conscripts, their advantage at skirmish combat made close combat seem a much safer prospect.

>>49154287
In response to the ever more rapid collapse of my right flank, and my quick approach to my break point of 8, I decided to launch my left flank of elite infantry in an attack on the French infantry who had remained idle since the first turn of the game.
The infantry charge was extraordinarily successful, at once smashing a hole in the centre of the French line behind the power of the Hungarian Grenadiers who eliminated a unit of Fresh Frenchmen in a single round of combat. Even the regular Austrian infantry seemed to be faring well against the French conscripts, buoyed up by the success of Grenadiers they took it upon themselves to bloody the French noses.

With both flanks now engaged, and both armies close to breaking point all that was left was to see who would break first.
As it happened my Austrians broke first, reaching their break point and giving me one final turn to attempt to break two units on the French right to tie the game as a mutual break. The unit of Chevauleger pasted by French artillery at the beginning of the battle now swept in and routed an exhausted unit of French conscripts which meant I had 2 units of infantry firing at some weakened cavalry and what was left of my infantry charging the battered French right. As it happened several French units were reduced to a single strength point, but unbroken resulting in a tight but deserved victory to My opponent, his army a single unit away from its own break point.

>>49154315
In retrospect I should have kicked the left flank into gear far sooner in order to take pressure off my own right. By not doing so my Grenadiers, the most expensive troops on the battlefield, were unable to engage in more than two or three combats with the French conscripts. Seeing how badly they mauled the French line when they did engage them really makes me question my decision to not unleash them so much sooner.

Whilst My opponent’s army consisted very heavily of conscripts and extremely average cavalry, his army contained a number of regular units who formed part of the corps opposite my cavalry corps. These units were crucial to in shielding his conscripts, who’s penalty against cavalry becomes very apparent when facing off against the strong Austrian heavies. All in all, a cracking game, nice and close but deservedly won by my opponent My opponent. I’ll get him next time for sure.

Just returned from the first game I've played in quite some time. Stalin's Hammer came crashing down on the Hitlerite dogs. Smashing their recon section, scouring away the enemy tanks and pushing the fascist scum off some unnamed hill. All at the paltry cost of 4 T 34's, a pair of T 70's and around 25 infantry. All in all a good game. Pic related. Its the beginning of the Soviet turn right before the tanks swept over the objective and pushed the Nazis back. ( A blow from which they never recovered from) the following two turns of play saw the Pz IV, 251s and Panther all destroyed. Leading to a German route.

The situation 2 turns later at the end of the game. with the Soviets breaking through the left flank with 2 SU-85s and a IS-2. After the T 34s took the brunt of the Germans firepower and got raped by a Hs 129 ( with Ju-87 standing in) attack run.

Looks like the battlegroup rulebook there.

>>49158656
Battlegroup. But we play in 28mm of course. Just increase the ranges by an additional 50% to compensate for the larger scale. We were trying out the range increase for the first time this game. It was brutal with engagements happening at far closer ranges than we were used to. But more in keeping visually with the scale of the minis.

We got lucky with our chit pulls our first two morale chits were an "Out of Ammo" (placed on the Panther. And a "Mine Strike" (placed on the Tiger though all it did is cause the Tiger crew to freak out a bit. It bought us a turn of movement so the SU-85s and IS-2 could move up together and swamp it with too many targets.

The real stars were the Scout platoon (bless their stupid vodka fueled courage) who held on against the combined fire of three halftracks long enough for us to move infantry up to contest the hill. Well, them and the BA-64 who sat on the edge of the woodline calling in 120mm mortars on the hilltop ( and our scouts ((in true Soviet fashion)) as well) for three turns straight.

Yeah, the board was pretty large (around 6' x 8'). but having only one objective made everything focus down to about 2'x2' zone. I personally prefer 15mm. But the rest of the guys like 28mm. And since I wasn't the guy who did the paperwork , setup, terrain or anything other than showing up. I'm not going to complain too much.

A good small project to help build up your skills and confidence for more converting. I always liked HäT stuff, I've got a bunch of Napoleonic boxes of various kinds (their Brunswick Avant Garde and British Light Infantry are particularly nice).

Never heard of the Portuguese Civil War, just read up on the Wikipedia article. Seems like there were a few notable naval battles. Also looks like bell shakos everywhere! Truly the worst shako.

I'm in my twenties myself and have been rubbing shoulders with historicals grognards for a few years, guys who've been playing since the sixties and seventies. I've scarcely met one who wouldn't give a history lesson on a given period to any man, woman or child at the least opportunity, followed by a brief spiel on the virtues of the current ruleset they're playing/evangelising. They're all passionate about history but only a few have "button-counting" tendencies.

Sounds like you have an unusually insular/elitist group. I hope you find a better one, or that they change their tune.

I had this flying stem in my bitz box, do you guys think its to big for a plane that size? (its not glued on yet)

That man is an inspiration. His work conveys a lot of enthusiasm as well as skill.

He probably does, as do I.

I should probably track down his newer stuff at some point...

>>49167694
God damn those paint jobs looks really nice while also looking doable for the everyman painter unlike those ridiculous good ones you see entered into competitions. But still this is some nice stuff.

>>49167726
He has a bunch of painting articles in Wargames Soldiers & Strategy, really not that complicated, and provides a good result. His painting and modeling articles are one of the many good things about that magazine.

Shit yeah I was thinking the same thing, Im going to be starting my first historical 28mm project and these type of things dont look too much better than what I hope I can achieve.

>>49167760
If only my 28mms were as consistent. Every dozen models of mine I paint at least 1 which isn't quite as good and I feel I've let him down.

Pretty sure it's 15mm.. or 20mm. Ok I'm not sure at all.

>>49168035
I think I get the reverse of that: one good model for every dozen.

You guys are lovely, Im so glad the really aggressive critique of painting is over.

I hated seeing people told that they shouldnt dare put their stuff on a table just because their paintjob wasnt that great

>>49172251
I'm pretty sure that was just like one or two guys being dicks, not really a 'culture'.

Interesting article about painting, makes some intriguing points.

The comment about less painting is one I constantly struggle with. Mostly because my errors make it difficult to work that way, and because I enjoy blending colours for more variety in my pre-modern stuff.

Ever have a day where you feel like youre painting worse than usual?

its making me not want to start 28mm again

At least I know now to give the Allies +25% worth of points over the Japanese...

What systems would be good for the War of the Triple Alliance? (mid-nineteenth century war in South America, preferably at 15 or 28mm)

Ha-Go I believe. I know now about its bell-crank suspension and 2 2-wheel bogeys per side.

They had a tendency to pitch very badly over rough ground, and they were lined with asbestos (like many Japanese tanks of the time) in order to insulate the crew from heat in hot climates, and to provide some protection over rough terrain.
Oh yeah and lung cancer

I learned a lot about Japanese tanks over the last week. And about the lead up to WW2. The Soviet-Japanese battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 was the most interesting.

There's an over-the-top Korean film that features some of the attack:

Wow, September 5th and 6th are kind of quiet military-history wise. I might go for the 6th instead and look at the Battle of Barking Creek, because it was an unusual event.

>>49175208

Black Powder would be my suggestion, it covers the right time frame and is generic enough that you could tweak it to suit that conflict.

Alternately an American Civil War system of some kind would be a good idea, and you could just adapt it to your needs.

Oh we're nearly at a new thread, might as well save my question for then

>>49173703
Yes definitely.

Can someone give a read through of A Song ofDrums and Tomahawks for me. Theres a section which uses a formula to calculate points costs which is fine but it appears their example army lists at all dont follow this formula at all.. Am I just stupid and missing something?

>>49179580
You could have asked now, and in the next thread if it doesn't get answered?
