25mm ACW Union Infantry

25mm Union Infantry In the second lockdown(November ) painted a few more figures then started to get board doing that . So out came my ACW armies lists . What Offers have I for the divisions ? good one lets get the Infantry out on the table . Worked out 5 regiments to a division. Well 5 regiments fit in the box why not. Back in the 1980s started to the numbers the bases of the figures with the number from the old DVD blank tapes you would get with them . Numbers I-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 21-22. States are mixed up in the division . Now if you are one of the war gamers that must have the correct regiments with in a division or in an army to play a game well done.

25mm ECW Artillery

50 years or so I thought I must get in to English Civil War gaming. One of my wargames friends Jim was a reactor in a ECW regiment. Talking at our Monday nights games I said I had got a lot of ECW figures all unpainted. The answer came back for one of the lads fined a good set of rules that work and we will have a game. That was in the 1980s Painted the Infantry over the years and in 2016 finished the last of them now just finished the Artillery all guns and crew are Hinchliffe figures

25mm Empress Dragoons

25mm Empress Dragoons Over the years I have collected lots of figures(as you do beening a wargamer) that have not been painted lockdown has seen many of us getting the unpainted figures out to paint .

Now I have been putting off painting the Empress Dragoons as 50 odd years a go I painted the regiment of them Could eBay them or may put on to a brig and buy stall .

No painted them up now I have two squadrons of them .

After painting them though they should be reviewed by Napoleon . Then put out the 1st squadron with them . Then the rest of the Guards Calvary  got out of hand a bit the .

Now looking at a Regiment of Guard Lancers to paint well that not going to be the 2nd but the 1st Regiment .  When not in use the lances keep pinging off may have to make them shorter

 All of then are old Hinchcliffe like the Dragoons .
