Great video and some really good ideas I'll definitely be trying. Was actually discussing the farrier possibilities with my regular group the other day as it's such a nice model, we'll definitely be trying out your suggestion. Last battle we used Baron Larreys ambulance however instead of being attached and effecting morale saves, we said he moved as a commander and each command phase he could attempt a Rally order on one unit within 12" at a SR of 8. If a double was thrown then the ambulance was full and he left the field taking the casualty with him if it was still a pass. Seemed to go down well, especially when he tried to help out the old guard, failed, and just left them to it 😀
Im glad i found your channel a few months ago. I thoroughly enjoy your articles and how they mix things from just stating your order of favourites of units right up to the game suggestions of this article. Great job. I LOVE these vignette/units and your ideas are great. Im getting the units together i want to play with, based around peninsula campaign and your passion around black powder has enthused me to play that and Sharps Practice. ....waiting for the perry skirmishing early french box comes out so models are more dynamic for the smaller battles.
Thanks dude! We started Sharpe Practice and got together a couple of armies based on Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, but it kinda petered out. It's not that we didn't enjoy it, it's just other stuff came along. You've reminded me we should give it another go!
The farrier could also be placed next to the artillery, as all the artillery was horse drawn. You could use it with any unit that depends heavily on horses. Let your artillery move twice. (and getting artillery in place faster usually, in my experience, is a bit more advantageous than a cavalry unit...at least at the beginning of a game.)
For my rennaissance rules I wrote. Engineers, sappers etc. Gave you engineering points, you spend these during to deployement to either add defense or remove terrain pieces. One battle my opponent removed the wood I was going to roll my field gun into and set up an earth bank right in the centre of the table forcing me to separate my pike blocks
I love vignette models! A big part of why I love historicals, all the extra models that can give more context and character to the game. What do you think about adding command range for general staff models for commanders? Maybe: +3" for an orderly +6" for an ADC +12" for general staff (really significant vignette with quite a lot of figures, like the napoleon/wellington ones)
This is great! I love vignettes and have often wondered how to use them, other than for tabletop eye candy. However, with the ambulance, how about leaving it on the table & using it as an alternative rally device, so it could go from unite to unit (at wagon speed but for the flying ambulance, again attached to cavalry only) and rally one casualty only, but for the first casualty, then must move on. Love casualty figures anyway and always paint up 4 per unit is finish. Big Hugs !
Nice ideas! Just a thought; combat engineers were very much thing during the Napoleonic wars, especially when attacking field fortifications or occupied buildings. Not so sure them building fortifications works as well. In general all these could make for some nice flavour for those 'bounce games that are not historical or scenario driven. Indeed they could become the basis of a scenario! Who will get to the bread makers, with all there new fresh bread first? There is also the chance to add a few other bits of random silliness; a tavern! Troops must pass a check to not lose a turn getting boozed up (on a - for the rest of the game). If the unit is Hussars, they have to not get way-lade by the squadron commander trying to seduce the tavern-keepers wife... :) Have you any interest in 6mm for Napoleonics?
Hahaha, some cool ideas there! I especially like the tavern keepers wife one. I think Eureka do a vignette of a hussar seducing a girl at a water pump. As for 6mm, It's not something I've delved into yet, but it's certainly not out of the question. I've played Blucher a few times and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see units of 150+ 6mm dudes on bases the size of those cards!
This is just bloody brilliant. From a hobby modelling point of view I really like these vinette models. I love that limbers come into the game. Sorry Tim is this actually built into the game or is this a house rule make up? Whatever it is I like it a lot. Even in my 18mm Napoleonic miniature I like to make mini diaromas on my command bases. For example I did a couple of troops walking past Nosey with his Adjutant pointing. I also added a small tree. Its just a lot of fun. Im really liking this idea. On Limbers would you have one per battery or per gun?
Thanks dude! I'll try and remember for future videos. Remember this comment kids, the danger of not concentrating in French class because you were sat next to the hottest girl in the year as she spoke French! :D
@@NapoleonicWargaming Do you have a preferred 15mm figure manufacturer? I'm looking at expanding my 15mm British and French Armies... Leaning towards Old Glory currently, only out of familiarity.
I saw people kneading dough, A mobile wood fired oven....So were is the Famous French Bread?🥖🥐 (Yes I know that baguette and the croissant are of Austrian origin and Probable post-Napoleonic, But the French do adore bread, even started a revolution because of the lack of it! )
I think croissants are french. I think they were baked to celebrate the lifting of the siege of Vienna in 1682. Although it would make more sense to be from Austria I guess! 😂
These can be great objectives and things to interact with in more skirmish-sized games as well.

@@NapoleonicWargaming good stuff! keep the content coming. enjoying it. Will start my peninsula brits soon. Regards, Dan.
I'am a fan, happy so see this kind of splendid vignettes on our tables...

Marching bands are cool. I have the Old Guard band. When the Guard advances the band comes out. Its job..look cool.

How about the movement bonus not just for Calvary but for horse guns.
sounds reasonable to me!

Amazing content thank you got the black smith for Christmas did it know what to do with it thank you

Who cares how there pronounced we know what they are and now know how to use them,great video,love your work ❤️✌️
Caisson is pronounced case-on; cantinière is pronounced can-tan-ee-air.
Thanks dude! I'll try and remember for future videos. Remember this comment kids, the danger of not concentrating in French class because you were sat next to the hottest girl in the year as she spoke French! :D
Thanks I love all this but my I don’t talk or pronounce as good as I would want to do this helps
Interesting ideas
O mg great now i want to buy all of these
Ha! Let me know I sent ya, and I can't to see them!
could you tell me the makers of the wagon and engineers at 18:20, thanks
Its the Perry's FN182 Pontoon wagon with pioneers
@@NapoleonicWargaming Thanks
great video , best place to buy them from please ?
Mostly Perry, Warlord, Eureka and warbases. But for things like cassions, most manufacturers will do them
