Re: Building an English Churchyard for the ECW(s)

Rob. Most English Churches of the 1640’s would have been of medieval date. They tend to sit in the middle of their associated grave yards - so you should have some open space and grave stones scattered around your church building. (In the UK separate grave yards located away from chapels/churches ar...

Super painting Gazza. Really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed unit.

Re: The Day after the Hacking

Do we think think this hacker was an angry gamer - or just some anti 'war toys' nutter?

Re: The Day after the Hacking

Ah yes - well spotted. His name appears in the Google search result. The little wanker.

And there was me thinking it was just Bob Dylan expressing his preference for Napoleon's Battles and Age of Reason.

Re: The Day after the Hacking

What on earth happened there!? Presumably some idiot with way too much time on their hands... Did anyone else get the Bob Dylan anti-war song playing at them? :lol:

Well done to Barry and all others involved for getting the site running again so quickly.

Re: Building footprint in 28mm please

Kerry, I think I have done something on 'footprint' here and there. If you read the stuff on 'downsizing La Haye Sainte' (christened La Half Sainte) by Coffin Dodger! it indicates reduction in footprint in principle. Where though Barry? I can't find anything about this in Warchest. Am I being thick...

Re: Napoleonic sea battle

Those are splendid.

Reminds me of the time as a boy when I first saw the model of Trafalgar at the Portsmouth museum (drool…)

Re: Att: Günter (or anyone else interested in 1812 Saxon cav

Gentlemen A sneak peak at some of the completed 28mm master figures for our forthcoming 1812 Saxon Heavy Cavalry – just in time for the Borodino 200 Anniversary! Alan Marsh has done an especially fine job with these. Zastrow Cuirassiers in the first picture, Garde du Corps in the second. Just the ch...

Sorry to be pedantic and all that, but not many Penguins in Scandinavia. They're a Southern Hemisphere bird. Or am I just being boring pointing that out :D

Re: Basing for pre 1808 French

As I touched on in the “Basing” thread, I don’t bother representing companies by individual base in 28mm. In multi company battalions, like 1792-1808 French and ten company British battalions, columns end up looking ridiculously too deep and therefore appear too narrow (even though the column fronta...

Re: basing troops

Hello Paul I like my close order infantry to look close ordered - so like, Barry I squeeze a 15mm frontage per figure. All my 28mm's are based in fours. Two front - two back. 30mm frontage and a 40mm depth. I don't bother with 'company basing' in 28mm. Most of my battalions are made up of six to eig...

Re: The Marseillaise :heaviest national anthem ever????

Dear David I think you have misunderstood. Barry was not insulting the Marseillaise (or the French!) Barry (and I) were saying how great we think the Marseillaise is. It is a wonderful, stirring piece of music. We were just having a light hearted joke about the words. Even as a proud Frenchman surel...
