<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The imperial Austrian army was composed of men from a bewildering range of ethnic backgrounds. In addition to those that were Germanic the empire drew heavily upon men who were Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Swiss, Croatian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Slovak, Bohemian, Czech, and Polish (phew, that's a passel of folks).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For generations the horsemen of Poland have proved to be excellent light cavalrymen, exhibiting particular expertise with the lance. The French created several regiments of Polish Lancers as did the Russians and the Austrians. The Polish lancers, serving within all these imperial states, saw heavy action during the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, it would be interesting to know if any of these men ever had to face each other across the battlefield, fighting under different flags.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll probably add another dozen troopers down the road, but since I have quite a few other regiments to complete it will probably be another several years before these guys see any reinforcements - but I'm sure they'll hold their own on the tabletop!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was going to post some of my first 1914 Brits in greyscale but I really couldn't face any more monochrome this week so I'm going to run with these lads instead - all in their Napoleonic technicolour glory.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This batch of dismounted dragoons have been patiently sitting on my workbench, mostly done, for nearly a year now. They came as part of one of the Perry plastic boxed sets. I have quite a few of these in the parts bin and thought I should get some more fielded so to be better able to play Peninsular skirmish games.</span> </div>

Sorry for the monopose, but I sort of got into a rhythm assembling these while listening to an audiobook and they all turned out a little cookie cutter. Oh well, I'll just have to do another batch in a few different poses so the whole group has a bit more variety.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Proper' dragoon green can be a very tricky colour to achieve and for years I've had a hard time sourcing a decent shade. Recently I found that Foundry has an excellent 'Dragoon Green', all conveniently sorted into three levels of shading. A tad expensive but highly recommended. If memory serves I think I used Army Painter Quickshade on these boys as well...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to paint the eyes on this group, which I normally eschew, but thought I would give it a go. Nope. Interesting, but way too much hassle for too little gain, especially when you see this stuff en mass and at about 4 feet away (that and I kinda suck at it and I'm just too bloody lazy).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From what I understand, the available information on uniforms from this period of Spanish history is notoriously sketchy and difficult to verify. I came across the above Knotel watercolour in John R. Elting's exhaustive 'Napoleonic Uniforms, Vol. III'. In it Elting states that two sources describe this regiment as having black facings, but the inclusion of brown trousers is up for debate. The only thing that is reasonably certain is that Joseph adopted Spain's traditional red cockade (Okay, sure, big help guys). Nevertheless, I decided to go with the brown trousers with the yellow piping as I thought it looked quite spiffy. (Note: After I published this post Rafa ('Archiduquerpc'), an excellent hobbyist from Spain, kindly provided me with more information about this unit and it's uniform. Thanks Rafa - much appreciated!)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Joseph apparently insisted on topping-up the ranks of his army with deserters and prisoners from his opponents one can only imagine the reliability of the forces supporting his regime. Well, at least they looked sharp!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, there you go. I found the Capitan figure to be very finely sculpted though a bit slight in stature. I'm not sold on how they'd mix within a unit of 'standard' well-fed 28mm figures (i.e. Perry, Warlord, Foundry, etc.) but I'd have no problem with complete units of these guys rousting about with the rest of my Napoleonic collection. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past few months the excellent Napoleonic forum '<a href="http://bricole.46.forumer.com/index.php" target="_blank">La Bricole</a>' has been hosting a painting competition focusing on 'bog average' troops. You know these lads, these are the dust-pounders, the beetle-crushers, the poor dog-faces that make up the vast majority of any army. So members of the forum have been busy producing a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">fine</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">assortment of units ranging from Austrian Landwehr, French Chasseurs a Cheval, to Prussian Musketeers and Bavarian Chevauleger (just to name a few).</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, after a little consideration I decided to get back to work on my Peninsular War collection by digging-up enough castings to do a largeish unit of Portuguese line infantry.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are 28mm Victrix metal castings sculpted by the talented Paul Hicks. Great sculpts overall, with very good proportions and animation (though it must be said that their bayonets do have a tendency to be a bit thin and fragile). The regimental colours are by 'Flag Dude'. Sharp-eyed visitors will have noticed that I submitted a smaller version of this unit as part of my final entry to the Painting Challenge but it has since increased in size with fresh recruits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This unit depicts the 6th Regiment of the Line which was composed of recruits from the northern region of Portugal, around Porto. This regiment was part of W.H. Campbell's 5th Portuguese Brigade who's units were all made up of men from the same area and saw hard campaigning from Busaco to Vittoria.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some may ask to what reason a Portuguese brigade was commanded by a Scot? Good question: In 1809 the Portuguese government, finding itself facing dissolution and possible annexation by the French, was determined that their army should be reconstituted, with British assistance, to enable it to better defend its sovereign rights. As part of this arrangement Great Britain appointed General William Carr Beresford to reorganize, train and re-equip the Portuguese army along British lines. A part of this reorganization resulted in several Portuguese regiments and brigades being led by British officers who were seconded from Wellington's army. The attraction to this for those British officers was that it allowed them to get a 'leg up' in rank without the heavy financial burden normally required to purchase their equivalent promotion in rank with the British army. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The results of this close cooperation was a highly trained, extremely motivated Portuguese army that became an integral, if not indispensable, part of British military efforts in the Peninsula. In fact, by the last years of the war Portuguese units made up between one third and one half of the 'British' army that fought in Spain. They earned a reputation as tenacious fighters and uncomplaining campaigners, with their qualities best described in Wellington's famous comment that they were 'the fighting cocks of the army' which is no small accolade considering how typically reserved the Duke was to giving compliments!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been beavering away at the painting desk and here are some completed results to date. The first unit is a oddball battalion from the Napoleonic French army. This is the Prince of Neufchatel's (Neuchatel) Battalion better know as 'The Canaries'.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1807, as a reward for his service to the Empire, Marshal Berthier was made Prince of Neuchatel (or Neufchatel), which is a small principality in what is now Switzerland. He mustered enough troops to create a battalion and had unique yellow uniforms tailored from his own designs. The 'Canaries' fought in 1809 at Wagram and were then transferred to Spain for anti-guerrilla duties. They were recalled in late 1812 as reinforcements for the Russian campaign but only made it to Smolensk where they met the retreating Grande Armee that was tumbling back from Moscow. The battalion suffered terribly during freezing rearguard actions and when it finally crossed the Berezina there was only one officer and seven men left of an original fighting strength of around 660. They were reconstituted in 1813 but after the Leipzig campaign it ceased to exist as a fighting force.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next unit is the 1st battalion from the 2nd Regiment of Ligne. This regiment has the unique distinction of having served as ship-borne troops in the Battle of Trafalgar.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1809 they also fought against steep odds defending the village of Aspern at the two-day battle of Aspern-Essling, and were again heavily engaged during the Battle of Wagram less than two months later. They participated in all the major campaigns right up to Waterloo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like having the plastic 'bitz' around from the Victrix and Perry boxes. I've been scattering my groundwork with battlefield detritus (broken muskets, abandoned packs, shakos, helmets, etc.) which helps bring the units more to life. Some of the stuff required a bit of trimming , shaving and drilling but I like the effect. Now, back to the table...</span></div>Curthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367983356497258089.post-18856191852572715392012-03-01T12:17:00.001-08:002012-03-01T12:19:45.674-08:00Napoleonic Scenario: Vandamme's Assault on the Stare Vinohrady, Austerlitz December 2nd, 1805<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8P9IvG0ukbQrV-fUqFhp-jItNVmX-CWdm7YhFLgZDeAKWQksJkLv_6GL30VLa1xce0bgTUsrGFubmhSwSAnujTb4v20w9yB1q2jnng7BO6hn5bYIa7fHMl2OFnalPO1Ty5Jqut7uUDvB4/s1600/P1050677_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8P9IvG0ukbQrV-fUqFhp-jItNVmX-CWdm7YhFLgZDeAKWQksJkLv_6GL30VLa1xce0bgTUsrGFubmhSwSAnujTb4v20w9yB1q2jnng7BO6hn5bYIa7fHMl2OFnalPO1Ty5Jqut7uUDvB4/s400/P1050677_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's another Napoleonic casualty marker I've made up. This one depicts a knocked-out French 12-pounder along with an unfortunate crewman and soldier. I plan to make more of these kind of vignettes to indicate damaged units, or particular spots that have seen hard fighting.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a relatively new 28mm resin and white metal set from <a href="http://www.offensiveminiatures.com/" target="_blank">Offensive Miniatures</a>.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(Originally posted on the Home Page Feb 1, 2012)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few months ago I began to play around with <a href="http://analogue-hobbies.blogspot.com/2011/06/prototypes-of-28mm-napoleonic.html" target="_blank">developing unit / casualty stands</a> for my Napoleonic collection. I wanted something that could pack as much information into one spot and would still look okay on the tabletop. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came up with a concept based around a 50mm circular base that would incorporate a 'fin' to mount a unit name card, a couple 'sockets' for 7mm dice to track a unit's status and enough room leftover to make a small vignette with a couple figures.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrc0sBpn5xd_8l_JTOLkYFqfvA6EzhPhsaflQqGjiVjC_K8O7O338ffGzz7C1y-sZfIlXvCAqJ2n4LxHlX4fPDwVd3o9bFIvbjsQuTy3LOzfmE8yPPZBDQVxw03W77p6WybnQWNgGbYxD/s1600/P1050544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrc0sBpn5xd_8l_JTOLkYFqfvA6EzhPhsaflQqGjiVjC_K8O7O338ffGzz7C1y-sZfIlXvCAqJ2n4LxHlX4fPDwVd3o9bFIvbjsQuTy3LOzfmE8yPPZBDQVxw03W77p6WybnQWNgGbYxD/s320/P1050544.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These have worked out pretty well with the only interm change being that I've added an third dice 'socket'. (In our 'Food for Powder' rules the dice help track the status of 'Fatigue', 'Friction' and 'Esprit de Corps' - basically hit points). I'm in the midst of making enough for all twelve of my current French infantry battalions and so thought I should do-up a few for my cavalry as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever since I first saw the 28mm Perry cuirassier casualty set a few years ago I have been keen to work on them. Its funny as I don't even have a cuirassier unit yet, but I couldn't resist using one of the figures as the basis of a unit stand. I've painted him as a trooper of the 3rd Cuirassiers, who served with the 12th and the Carabiniers in Nansouty's Division at Aspern-Essling and Wagram where they saw some pretty hard action.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second figure is a Perry Miniatures French Aide-de-Camp madly galloping to issue orders to an awaiting brigade. In our rules these ADC figures carry 'impetus' dice from higher level commanders down to their subordinates to facilitate more complex brigade orders. They also can carry 'Friction' dice if the ADC is serving a particularly incompetent commander - thereby chaos can ensue from botched/misinterpreted orders.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their flash pink facings aside, 18th Regiment of Dragoons were very much a meat-and-potatoes 'working' cavalry regiment. In the early Empire period they participated in many of the major engagements (Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland) and then from 1808 to 1813 they saw hard service in the Peninsular campaigns. They missed the Grande Armee's destruction in Russia, but were recalled to Germany where they were burned-out during the 1813 and 1814 campaigns for France.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love painting Napoleonic cavalry but I find its the trumpeters that often make me 'snap my crayons'. Nonetheless, as French cavalry go, Dragoon trumpeters are pretty plain as they usually did not go overboard on reverse facing colours, gold braid, etc. but the ubiquitous chequered lace is always a challenge. Later this year I plan to do-up a Hussar regiment and I'm girding my loins for painting its trumpeter as those buggers' uniforms are insane.</span></div>

So I broke down and commissioned my third regiment from a painting service. I hope to have that unit ready soon, touch them up ('cause I can't help myself) and base them to match this lot. Then I'll have a full brigade of the blighters, 72-figures strong, which should look the business arrayed on the tabletop.</span></div>

I bought the majority of the figures for this unit on Ebay over a year ago and they've been sitting on the 'to-do' part of my workbench ever since.

Wow. It feels both so long ago and yet it seems like only yesterday. I must say that at the time, when I started this whole blogging thing, I was a bit leery about it, thinking my interest would quickly peter-out or I'd simply have nothing to say. Well, while I doubt that what I have to say is of any real value I have found that the blog has become very valuable to me for a variety of reasons. First and foremost is that I've met some really fabulous people through blogging - people who have a similar passion for the hobby and whose words of encouragement have been both gracious and helpful. </span><br />

I actually finished this unit as a 'poke in the eye' to Sylvain who is currently lazily sitting on a pile of unpainted Victrix early-period Russians that he acquired last winter. When I told him that I was going to work on all my other projects PLUS match his Russian 'commitment' battalion-for-battalion he responded with typical Gallic style by saying (in his charming French accent), "Ah, is zis another one of your charming, how you say, challenge 'Gauntlets', Cuurt?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whenever I think that my painting skills may be improving I pull this old chestnut out from my display cabinet to get a reality check. This Chasseur a Cheval officer of the Imperial Guard was given to me as a gift about 15 years ago by my friend Brian Homenick (of <a href="http://www.mts.net/~homenic1/vaubanner/vaubandex.html" target="_blank">Vaubanner Graphics</a>), who is, as you can plainly see, a phenomenal painter. </span><br />

</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a venerable 28mm Wargames Foundry casting, sculpted by Alan Perry, which still holds its own amongst the best out there today. The pose is taken from the famous painting by Theodore Gericault titled "The Charging Chasseur" which was first exhibited in 1812 and can be viewed today at the Louvre (see above).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember Brian giving me the model in an almost nonchalant manner, just a slight smile and a shrug. Almost like, "I thought I'd give this one a whirl, and well, here you go." Awesome.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few years ago, when I was living in Ontario, I met up with another good friend, Dallas (another venerable member of the <a href="http://wpggamegeeks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fawcett Ave Conscripts</a>), to check out a Games Workshop's 'Games Day' event in Toronto. It was pretty cool as the energy level from all the kids was completely off the hook, but the real reason I was excited to go was because the Perry twins were in attendance to show off their latest work for GW and visit with the geeks. I duly stood in line with what seemed to be a battalion of pimply teens and managed to chat with the both of them for a few minutes. During this time I pulled out a few of my favourite Napoleonic models of their design and asked them to sign the bases for me. Of course Brian's Chasseur was one of these and Alan Perry was kind enough to oblige. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remember we all thought it pretty funny being at an event which showcases EVERYTHING Warhammer and here we were gabbing on about Napoleonics. I came away completely stoked and I remember Sarah nodding and smiling indulgently as I described by field trip and the cool 'autographs' I received. Yep, complete nerdgasm.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, there you go. The Chasseur remains a prized gift and a constant source of inspiration. Thanks Brian!</span></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first group of these figures (ten, I think) originated from my earlier days in the hobby and <a href="http://analogue-hobbies.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-progress-28mm-foundry-1er-regiment.html">I decided last spring</a> that I wanted to enlarge and rebase them so they better aligned with the look and feel of our 'Big Battalion' games. So here is the regiment, fresh with replacements, (24 strong) ready to be deployed on the tabletop.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The early Carabinier uniform is one of my favorites of the period as, to me, it personifies both the elegance and power of the French heavy cavalry at that time. Sure, the later brass cuirass and crested helmet was very fashionable and quite swish but I think it lacked the understated grace of the long-tailed cutaway coat, white waistcoat and tall bearskin bonnet.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is believed that the regiment retained a high </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">proportion</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of aristocrats from the </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ancien regime</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> which may have helped it maintain a greater level of professionalism during that early period when the French cavalry typically suffered from a lack of experienced officers (at this time the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">guillotine</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was very busy providing 'advancement opportunities' to meritorious NCOs and junior officers). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An interesting </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">anecdote</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> from this early period is during 1800, when the 1st Carabiniers were billeted in the small German town of </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eichstadt</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. The impoverished town was so strained under the burden of French taxes that it faced the prospect of having to sell its sacred vessels from the local church in order to raise sufficient funds. On hearing of this situation the Carabinier officers first tried to get the debt reduced, and failing that, passed the hat amongst themselves in order to pay the debt from their own pockets. For years afterward, long after the French were considered to be the arch enemies to all Germans, the grateful town of </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eichstadt</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> celebrated an annual mass for the </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1er Regiment de Carabiniers a Cheval</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little known but dramatic action involving the Carabiniers occurred early in the 1809 campaign when they faced against their equivalent in the Austrian Cuirassiers in a moonlit melee near the village of Alt Egolfsheim. The Austrians were covering the retreat of their infantry after the Battle of Eckmuhl to which the French were vigorously pursuing. The Austrian Gottensheim Regiment of Cuirassiers led the charge and were met with a short range volley of carbine fire from the <i>1er Regiment de Carabiniers,</i> who then slung their firearms, drew swords and charged. The combination of their numbers, training and superior mounts allowed the French to prevail. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(John Elting writes that the quality of the enormous Flemish and Norman horses was telling against the largely untrained remounts of the Austrian troopers)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The French heavy cavalry was used ruthlessly by Napoleon during the vicious battles of Aspern-Essling and Wagram. The cuirassiers and Carabiniers were often sacrificed to fill gaps or to buy time for the infantry to redeploy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the shocking losses they suffered during the 1809 campaign it was decided to equip the Carabiniers conforming with the regulations of the rest of the heavy cavalry arm, that is with helmets and full cuirass. With typical Gallic elan the Carabinier troopers received the news of them being issued armour rather poorly, thinking it to be an insult to their honour and courage and it took no small amount of convincing to have them surrender their beloved bearskins and long coats.</span></div>

This unit (composed of Perry plastics and a Victrix mounted officer) represents the 2nd battalion of the 66th Regiment of Foot (The Berkshires). I had mentioned previously that I was building a British force based on Colborne's ill-fated brigade which was severely mauled by French cavalry at Albuera in 1811 (approximately 70% casualties throughout the brigade).</span></div>

Of the approximately 400 men that made up the battalion at the start of the day, it suffered 16 officers and 310 men killed or wounded. The following day, it was able to muster only 53 bayonets. The majority of the casualties had been killed and among the dead were the battalion major, and the ensigns Walker and Colter. Captain Clark was taken prisoner, but was able to escape later, wrote that one of the flags was saved, but he does not specify which one. The remnants of the 2/66th was formed into a provisional battalion with the 2nd Battalion 31st, which had saved its flags. It was noted in its last inspection in Roncesvalles in 1813 said “The Battalion of the 66th doesn't have flags, because their new ones were sent to Lisbon in 1812. It is the undeniable test of their loss at Albuera, and the King's Colours also exists still in Paris”.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another document, a letter from Lieutenant George Cromption of the 66th, dated May 18, 1811 states, "Oh, what a day that was. The worst of the story I have not related. Our Colours were taken. I told you before that two ensigns were shot under them; two Sergeants suffered the same fate. Lieutenant seized a musket to defend them, and was shot to the heart, what could be done against cavalry?"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 1814, these trophies remained hidden until 5 April 1827, when five were displayed in the Museum of Artillery. During the Revolution of 1830, a mob stormed the Museum and took weapons and flags from it, including the King's Colour of the 66th Foot. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1831, the four remaining Colours, were placed in the cornices of the chapel of the Hotel des Invalides. During the funeral of Marshal Sebastiani on 11 August 1851 a fire broke out. The Regimental Colour of the 66th Foot was completely destroyed, while the King’s Colour of the 48th Foot was badly damaged with only its central shield surviving. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1861, General Duffourc d'Antist donated to the Invalides his collection of flags. Among these flags was the King's Colour of the 66th Foot which had been stolen by the mob in 1830.</span></div>

</tbody></table><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">A while ago I mentioned to my friend Sylvain that I've always wanted to do a tactical Napoleonic scenario that focuses on the ferocious fighting for the village of Aspern at the Battle of Aspern-Essling (May 20-21 1809). </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zcOTyJ8KzMcFf1iGKJRcY0a677gS4oTvqlVoYmKjvNWsvpmdADNKHYX8yFo3xKjgUig37VUWFfPfIIettTl3HyBuX_p2sDeWwllrxvKjkkSJ2Nz5MCbURuVEbKpWr4RfQVw27BBA1Slz/s1600/P1040571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zcOTyJ8KzMcFf1iGKJRcY0a677gS4oTvqlVoYmKjvNWsvpmdADNKHYX8yFo3xKjgUig37VUWFfPfIIettTl3HyBuX_p2sDeWwllrxvKjkkSJ2Nz5MCbURuVEbKpWr4RfQVw27BBA1Slz/s320/P1040571.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Before we go any further you have to understand that Sylvain is completely mad. Bonkers. Nuts. Certifiable. Anyway, Sylvain likes to scratch-build buildings and since he's a bit 'touched' (and doesn't do anything in halves) he got it in his mind that he'd make me a 80% to scale representation in of the Aspern churchyard with all its buildings and grounds for my 28mm collection.</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Sylvain tells me he has another building (a mausoleum, I believe), the graveyard and the surrounding walls to add and then the project's done. Its going to dominate any table but if the action is purely focused on taking the church grounds then the scaling will work great. I'm thinking of using a beefed-up variant of Sharpe's Practice to do a monsterous tactical scenario based around the churchyard but first I need to paint and groundwork this stuff AND finish a raft-load of Austrians...</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These three units depict the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 16th Regiment of the Line. From 1806-1807, due to a lack of indigo dye, Napoleon issued a new uniform regulation that would see his line infantry begin a conversion from its standard blue uniforms to new ones in white. He initially chose 19 regiments in order to determine how they would hold-up in the field. It is not known exactly how many of these 19 regiments were actually issued the uniform but it is confirmed that there were at least eight regiments dressed in white by the end of 1806.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1806 the 16th was issued the white uniform with blue facings and turnbacks. John Elting mentions that this uniform was very sharp, being a hit in Paris, but (as could well be imagined) very difficult to keep clean in the field. I also chose the 16th as it saw heavy action in one of my favorite Napoleonic battles, Aspern-Essling. At that battle they were under the command of Molitor and were in desperate close-combat contesting the town of Aspern.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Napoleon ultimately changed his mind on the white uniforms. Some say it was because he was appalled at how the blood stood out on them after the battle of Eylau, but I think this is a little sensationalist as Bonaparte was a man not easily moved by the sight of carnage. I think it was merely due to the fact that French producers found a way to source blue dye to maintain the established uniform. Nonetheless the white uniform was popular amongst those regiments that received it and it was not until late 1809 that the last battalions were (begrudgingly) converted back to blue.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to keep the third battalion in greatcoats to indicate their more conscripted status (something I will probably continue to do with all the higher numbered battalions in my regiments). A portion of the figures from these three units I bought in an Ebay auction. Nonetheless they were a little rough around the edges, in need of a bit of 'tweaking' and fleshing out to get ready for the table (shipment repairs, highlighting, washes, rebasing, drybrushing, etc). I also added new NCOs, colour party members and mounted commanders to all the battalions to tart them up a bit more. All of the flags, as usual, are from the indispensable </span><a href="http://www.flagdude.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flag Dude</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Figures are from the Perry range. In order to make the stand less Waterloo-specific, I cut away the 'Belgic' shako from the right figure and replaced it with a bicorne from a Victrix sprue. I still have some work to do on the white horse as I'm not too wild on its midtones. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like a lot of gamers, I like to keep the tabletop as clean of dice, measuring tapes, rule sheets, pets, soft drinks, etc., but I know that concessions have to be made for marking unit status and displaying other game mechanics. Nonetheless, I really don't like casualty caps, especially anything plastic, as they seem to break the aesthetic of the painted miniatures and scenery. I've always liked the look of casualty figures, but in several rule sets a unit can take numerous 'hits' so it can seem that there is a cloud of casualties following along, and if they get too close to one another confusion can occur in determining to whose casualties belong to what unit.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I'm playing around with how to compress as much unit information into as small a space as possible. Here are a few unit status markers that I've mocked up that combine a small vignette, a 'fin' for mounting a unit ID card, plus a few slots to fit small (7-8mm) six-sided dice to track hits. </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The slots work reasonably well to keep the dice all in one spot and prevents accidental mix-ups when units are compressed together in a scrum. For a game such as 'Black Powder' the dice can be of different colours to track Disorders, 'standard' hits and Shaken status. We've also come up with a simple protocol to move the stand from the back of the unit to the front to keep track of which stuff has been activated - pretty straight forward stuff really.</div><br />

If I could get them to prototype one that incorporates a couple dials in it then it naturally would be able to track two different sets of information and I could get rid of the dice - something to ponder...</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Really, I thought I'd never do it - I thought I'd never crack. I was committed <u>never</u> to paint one of the most ubiquitous units in a British Napoleonic wargaming army: yes, yes, you guessed it, the 95th Rifles. To me 'The Rifles' are like the iPods of Napoleonic gaming - very trick, sexy, grossly over-promoted and seen freakin' everywhere. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my defense I did have a pile of unpainted Foundry riflemen from an age-old ebay auction <u>AND</u> I had several frames of the Perry plastic riflemen that come in each of their infantry boxed sets. So c'mon, I had to do something with them. Right? Right?! (sigh) Anyway, I've since stifled my toy soldier snobbery and have done up a unit of Rifles for myself. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past few weeks I've been reading about several actions where the 95th eschewed their regular skirmish tactics and instead fought in standard battalion formation. So I thought I'd depict a unit of Rifles that are madly scrambling to double-out into battle line while being under fire. I wanted to use as many of my current castings as possible, but the scale difference between the Perry's older Foundry stuff and their more current range is quite distinct. Since the Foundry models are significantly shorter I had to do something to make them blend in better. I decided upon an old trick by using a type of forced perspective where I've placed the shorter castings on trimmed down plastic base 'shims' and put them in the front rank.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I added a dead horse casting I had in my bitz box to depict the officer just having his mount shot from underneath him. For the pistol laying on the horse's flank, I trimmed down the hand from a pistol in the Victrix plastic set and placed it in the vignette to show that the officer has just put his horse down, dropped the pistol and is now drawing his sword, all the while bawling out commands. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, there you have it. I've now joined the ranks of those who <i>just had to have</i> the 95th in their collections. Actually, I'm pretty jazzed about taking them out for their first game. I can now just hear the whining, faintly annoying electric guitar playing 'Over the Hills and Far Away"...

<div style="text-align: justify;">From 1806-1807, due to a lack of indigo dye, Napoleon issued a new uniform regulation that would see his line infantry begin a conversion from its standard blue uniforms to new ones in white. He initially chose 19 regiments in order to determine how they held-up in the field. It is not known exactly how many of these 19 regiments were actually issued the uniform but it is confirmed that there were at least eight regiments dressed in white by the end of 1806. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Napoleon ultimately changed his mind on the white uniforms. Some say it was because he was appalled at how the blood stood out on them after the battle of Eylau, but I think this is a little sensationalist as Bonaparte was a man not easily moved by the sight of carnage. I think it was mearly due to the fact that French producers found a way to source blue dye to maintain the established uniform. Nonetheless the white uniform was popular amongst those regiments that received it and it was not until late 1809 that the last battalions were converted back to blue.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">These two units depicts the 1st and 3rd battalions of the 16th Regiment of the Line (the second battalion is pretty much ready to go, just needing some extra NCOs and command figures to finish it off). In 1806 this regiment was issued the white uniform with blue facings and turnbacks. Elting mentions that this uniform was very sharp, being a hit in Paris, but very difficult to keep clean in the field. I also chose the 16th as it saw heavy action in one of my favorite Napoleonic battles, Aspern-Essling. At that battle they were under the command of Molitor and were in desperate close-combat contesting the town of Aspern. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I decided to keep the third battalion in greatcoats to indicate their more conscripted status (something I will probably do with all my lower battalions). A portion of the figures from these two units I bought in an Ebay auction. Nonetheless they were a little rough around the edges and in need of a bit of 'tweaking' to get ready for the table (shipment repairs, highlighting, washes, rebasing, drybrushing, etc). I also added new NCOs, colour party members and mounted commanders to tart them up.
