League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Dear Friends,

With my sanity at stake I have to confess that, like Paul stated, this will become

the Largest Army I have ever done!!!

The reason for that is quite simple:

29 Foot Battalion of 1000 men each are in 1:20 scale 50 Figures per unit = 1450 Figures Infantry
6 Horse Regiments of 700 men each are in 1:20 scale 36 Figures per unit = 216 Figures Cavalry
14 Foot Batteries of 6 guns each are in 1:20 scale 3 guns/9 figures each = 126 Figures Foot Artillery men with 42 Gun models
2 Horse Batteries of 6 guns each are in 1:20 scale 3 guns/9 figures each = 18 Figures Horse Artillery men with 6 Gun models

Ah and add to this about 100 Officers on foot or mounted!

That will bring this XII. Royal Saxon Army Corps to about 40.000 men or 2000 Figures!

I don’t know if I want go into the supporting stuff too as this would be at least 200-300 Figures plus for Ammunition, Sanitary and Train. Not to forget 8 Landwehr-Reserve Battalions which formed, with the other German states, two reserve Armies of 200.000 men each.

I get a bit breathless will thinking about those numbers!

Cheers,
Günter

Never!

My question: will all this weight be evenly distributed throughout his residence? If not, I would hate to live below him!

Rest assured!
My apartment has 250 squarefeet livingspace so there is plenty of room for those tiny little boxes like these:

But is there any room for you?

Our esteemed colleague can't possible weigh as much as his lead horde, but combining the two may spell trouble for the supporting timbers!

Besides, imagine what would happen if his army vacates the apartment and goes rampaging through the countryside? Who can stop them? Wh

I can be sure that nothing like that will happen because all here is built of concrete in the good old (german) fashion



To give you the numbers for Saxon Armies I intend to have:

TYW about 1000 to 1500 Miniatures (not even started but planned)
GNW about 1000 to 1200 Miniatures (1000 in existence and growing)
NAP's about 1500 to 1700 Miniatures (1300 in existence and growing)
FPW approx. 2000 Miniatures (in process of planning), raising may start in April but will be a long time project

I think that tell's Dave something about not doing half things

Besides of this I have started with the 1st Corps, Army of Northern Virginia, Lt. Gen. Longstreets Command, Fredericksburg Campaign.
Approx. 1400+ Miniatures (200 in existence and growing)

My aim is to have approx. 8.000 to 10.000 Miniatures alltogether.

Cheers,

Günter

Are you going to tell us this Corps was full of Saxons as well?

I wouldn't dare!

I only want to keep my painters brushes w-e-t and besides of this I wanted to revive a long lost Rebel Army but now in a more adult figure size

Dear Friends,

Within the next days I will make an important announcement about the new figures for the FPW-Range including first pictures.

So stay tuned!

Günter

Dear Friends,

With the approval of my Sculptor, Steve Barber, I have the honor to present the first greens of the new Franco-Prussian-War Range:

Colour Bearer

Advancing







Here are a selection of different heads



Close up of the heads

Currently work has started on a Krupp Canon and on the marching Infantry.
Further in the line comes the Light Infantry.

All Comments are welcome

Cheers,

Just a question. Outside the pickelhaube, which would have a different plate, could the figures be used for other German states?
