28mm battle of Hastings try out

28mm Battle of Hastings try out using Lion Rampant rules with just a long hill. Next year Calne Wargames club hope to put on the demo game battle of Hastings. First thing we did was agree not to have the 3inch between units made sense as you can not have a shield wall with big holes in it . As you can see, we had a long hill and no more scenery on our first game . Game was a lot of fun the Normans did win .Must rember not to come down the hill next time . Some of the photos are from Lee and my shelfe .

Re Flocking my French Napoleonic 25mm Infantry

Flocking again all my French Napoleonic Infantry from years past siting on a shelf for to long with lots of dust on them . Light brush with a drop of Water and a quick drying off . Green paint round the edge of the bases . Then on with the flock takes more time then you think to do this . From start to finish and still got the Swiss Infantry to do.

Brunswick Lancers 25mm

Brunswick Lancers 25mm Hincliffe figures And the rest of the army 2 Years a go one of my friends sent me a Christmas parcel of 12 Hincliffe Brunswick lancers but with no horses . The last two years going round the bring and buy stalls manage to pick up a few and with the few I have of my own started to paint them last October with oil paint put them on the window ceil to dry .Then in late November painted the figures . The last thing we do is base them up .Then the penny dropped may be the Brunswick army needed being re flocked o yes it did after 50 years since last being done
