Playtesting my Battle of Vimeiro 1808 entry for the BGG wargame design competition. This game went to the wire with a narrow British victory. Poor Junot got stuck behind enemy lines. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3098692/wip-napoleonic-21-vimeiro-1808-2023-wargame-compet

Little game of Talavera using Valour & Fortitude rules, scales to 2/3 normal rule size. 2 Allied & 3 French (including me) players. I broke through the Spanish who were defending a stone wall, while the French columns were finding it very easy to rout the British lines... Too easy, we are going to change that for the next session. #28mm #wargame #Napoleonics

Calling this Victrix System XI foot artillery piece done!
I *think* i got the flaps right for regular foot artillery, rather than fringed epaulettes for guard or master gunners, but there you go :)

Cannon is now the right colour!
Also made some headway on the crew. Bit of highlights and tidying up and hopefully I'll get onto the base tomorrow.

@belisarius rebasing…what a nightmare. My #15mm #napoleonics I started rebasing 2 by 2 on thin metal bases, which I could place on magnetic sabots of the desired size.

More Volley and Bayonet. This time the Napoleonic battle of Vimiero in Portugal. A place I've visited a couple of times: very nice museum but the rest of the town is dead. Me and a friend were the French. In the actual battle the French were outnumbered and attacking the strong British hill in front of Vimiero town itself. They lost. We decided to try a feint on the far left while the main army attacked the far right. #Napoleonics #wargames #25mm

Assembled this bunch of Perry Peninsular British ready for a try at Sharp Practice on Wednesday night. Continually impressed with how good the Perry plastics are! Also enjoy the magnetised sabot bases very much :)
