More ACW Figures

 These new stands of figures are ready for maneuvers.  Figures are 28mm Steve Barber models.  Not sure how I like them; the figs have separate torsos, heads, and arms that provide a small degree of variability at the price of gaps that need filling.  Not to big a task.  Kind of fiddly getting that shoulder rest pose with the big hats though.  Quality of the sculpts is very good though so they are welcome to my existing collection of mainly Sash and Saber and Raven Banner figures.  They match up well in terms of size.

Flags are from Flag Dude (Rick O'Brien).

 

First Prussian Units

 New to my Napoleonic collection are my first Prussian (1813) units.  Silesian infantry, Landwehr, and artillery.

Shadowdark RPG

 Really enjoyed a recent run of a relatively new RPG called Shadowdark.  Call it OSR rewrite or Dungeon Crawl Classics lite.  Shadowdark occupies a space between them.  The game is well supported by the designer and fans so I wanted to list some of the resources.

Kiev Dragoons

 Kiev Dragoons are ready for the line!  These are more AB Miniatures (15/18mm).

Heavy Support for WWII Minis

 Just finished some German 15cm heavy artillery along with 15cm Infantry Gun and 5cm PAK.  And some Soviet 160mm mortars.  The infantry on snow bases in the pic are Germans in greatcoats armed with Russian SMGs (courtesy Peter Pig minis).   these are all 15mm sized minis.  Thanks to Jim for printing the 15cm heavy artillery.

The little shiny objects in the corners of the bases are magnets I use to hold any status markers.  For Rapid Fire rules, they aren't really needed but I also use the stands in operational level games where a stand can be a battalion or regiment.  I usually dull down the shiny magnets with a black or brown Sharpie marker.  

Joseph Napoleon Infantry

Young Guard Voltigeurs

 Latest off the painting table are two battalions of Young Guard Voltigeurs.
