Thanks, Brother. The only place I have seen them for sale is War Sigil. I have not bought from them, so I can't attest to the quality. The price has gone up since I bought mine during the pandemic, but isn't that true about everything. Have a great week my friend 👍
Painting white is definitely an intimidating one. I’ve painted a ton of Austrians but have plenty more to go. I think my plan moving forward will be to give them a wash, dry brush off white, use the AK markers for straps, and speed paints on everything else. Stellar looking game and thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Thanks Adam! Model train tables make me drool! I don't think I could afford another hobby without my wife killing me 🤣. Have a fantastic week my friend 👍
I am currently reading the memoirs of an officer of the cuirassier regiment of the Grand Army. I will imagine that he is in one of your squadrons. We will see if he can win this battle with his unit. I am looking forward to the continuation.
I hope the read is going well! Hopefully, the French Cavalry will do as wonderful as always! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Have a fantastic week 👍
Thanks, Richard! It's a blessing. This big bugger (because there is always something to fix) of a house was built in 1908. I appreciate the comment and I hope you have a spectacular weekend!
Just a few British flags is an understatement! haha. First time coming across this channel and here to stay. I collect 15mm Napoleonics, however, I'm very new and just started only have one regiment painted, however have 5 to go plus cannon battery's and four cavalry regiments too. I noticed two green regimental flags in the British, I think they're 69th Lancaster Regiment, which is my second 15mm regiment I'm painting now. Huzzah! Looking great. And a spectacular paint job on all the miniature's.
Excellent sighting, my friend! The 69th is serving in the 2nd Brigade under Stuart. It's awesome that you are getting into Napoleonics and a smart move going with a smaller scale! You will have a blast! Have a fantastic week, my friend 👍
Get job. Love seeing different set ups. My game room is in the living room. It usually has a time limit. I use 4 custom folding tables that I can break down and store in another room. My models are 25mm Minifigs from the late 70s and 80s. I really like the 28mm models. They are much more animated than the old models. You have done a lot of work. Napoleonic tables look amazing with all the masses of troops.
Thanks, Rick! Its awesome that you can still set up a big game at home whenever you want to. I'm guessing you have been in the hobby a while since "having minifigs" soldiers is a strong indication of being "Old School ". I kick myself almost everyday for not getting into the wonderful hobby sooner!
@@basement1908 Putting your setup on this channel is a great help to all historical gammers. When I started around 1970 information was so hard to come by. Small bits in magazines and news papers. You had to mail order books from London and N.Y. There is guys like you out there that make a difference.
Hey Steve - it is such a great gaming space you have access to and I am sure many of us are super envious - I know I am. Really looking forward to watching this one and I am sure it is going to be some great company while I soldier on with my slow slow painting of my naps. I have just invested in the epic scale french naps by Warlord - it is a real mind shift painting something of that scale - I posted my first completed base on the PCP facebook page if you are interested. I think it is going to bring a different level of maneuver to the games with the scale. Have you thought about doing that scale as well? Cheers mate have a great game and week ahead.
Yes, and yes! Thanks, Craig, for commenting ! Awesome work on the Epic stuff. I am very much looking forward to smaller scales with more maneuvering. The only concern I have with maneuvering and battle reports is causing boredom. With many of my systems where I have fewer models on the table, I have plenty of room for tactical maneuvering. This might be an issue of mine, but I feel like it isn't very exciting to watch me taking 30 minutes to execute a masterful flanking maneuver. I love doing that kind of thing, but I don't think I have yet to discover how to successfully incorporate that into a battle report. I will work on that. I better get it figured out before I have two huge 6mm ACW armies. Have a great week my friend 👍
I have 3 five foot by seven foot mats from a company that vanished during the pandemic (Killing Fields Terrain). Besides making your own the only place that I have seen selling them is War Sigil. I am going to have to bite the bullet at some point and buy 3 more of their's
Looking forward to the battle. However, I feel you make the same mistakes as with your previous games, that is too many and too large units. This leaves little room to manoeuvre and makes the armies just go straight ahead and get into the fighting. (Which may be your thing. But is not realistic. And also makes for a dullish game.) I do have to say it looks great, but more from a display perspective.
It is getting a bit tight on the battlefield, I agree. I am looking forward to adding that extra 12 feet in the room next door. To be honest, I will probably make the same mistake and make more troops and run into the same issue with congestion. Have a fantastic weekend 👍
As a fellow 25mm guy, I am thinking you have taken the hobby to its limits (and as noted below, reach is the limiting factor if room size is not). But there is always that old school part of my brain thinking... SURE it looks amazing, but think how much MORE you could have, including room to maneuver and simulate more great battles; not just the highest intensity areas, if only you had started collecting 15mm in the first place? The scaling laws (area vs. volume is appropriate here) inform us you would have 2.78x MORE battlefield in the usual 15mm. Plus the minis would be so much faster to paint, while giving you a similar level of eye candy on the tabletop - as long as you don't zoom in really close.
If only I knew about epic scale or 6mm when I started down this wonderful rabbit hole. I'm trying to paint 6mm, but I just haven't found the same motivation that I have for 28mm yet. I'm not sure that I've reached the limit yet for my present table size (plus I'm on the verge of adding another 6 x 12 foot extension). I think this battle will be a blast, and I can't wait to keep on growing this wonderful hobby. I appreciate your feedback, and I hope the rest of your week is fantastic!

Outstanding setup. Many gamers can only dream of having a collection like what is displayed.
Grand job👍
I appreciate that, my friend! I hope you have a spectacular weekend!
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s rocking napoleonic game room…sniff.
Thanks Bobby! That reminds me, we need to get ready to leave for church. I appreciate the laugh! Have a fantastic week my friend 👍

Thank you kindly! I appreciate that and fir taking the time to comment. Have a fantastic rest of your Sunday!
Wooooow! feast for the eyes! so many, it looks like a movie!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! Have a good one, my friend 👍
Such a huge and spectacular battlefield...Superb as always, great atmosphere!!👍👍
Thank you Phil! I hope all is well with you! Have a fantastic week my friend 👍
Totally awesome :).
I need to look at moving over to using teddy bear fur mats as really like the look of the hills being under the cloth.

Yet another stunning battlefield set-up!! Just looks amazing, take care and thanks buddy
Thanks, Luke! You are awesome ! I hope all is well with you. Enjoy your Sunday!

Thank you for the advice. I really like your plan. I will probably copy it! Have a fantastic weekend 👍
Very nice. I’ve always liked the setting up of a wargaming table (model trains too!) Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate them.

That looks absolutely awesome. You have done an amazing job getting all those figures organised.
Thank you so much! I am your namesake has some kick butt dice rolling and leads the 7th Coalition to victory ✌️
My basement growing up was the exact same!!!!! Love the room and the enthusiasm!!!! Well Done!
Thanks, Richard! It's a blessing. This big bugger (because there is always something to fix) of a house was built in 1908. I appreciate the comment and I hope you have a spectacular weekend!
Impressive once again the sense of achievement once all the armies are set up must be full filing my friend let the battle begin
Thanks, Darrin! It's always great hearing from you. I am totally pumped for this one! Have a fantastic week my friend 👍

Thanks my friend! Always great hearing from you. Have a good one 👍
looks bombastic! have fun! :)
Thank you kindly! I appreciate the feedback! Have a fantastic Sunday!
This is incredible
I’ve always loved napoleonic miniatures but have no idea where to start
It's awesome! It just takes a bunch of work to get to this level of stupidity 🙄 Have a fantastic weekend! 🤣🤣
Amazing!!! What an inspiration
Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment! I hope you have an awesome week!
All those figures look like a napoleonic battle field. Huzzah!
Thanks, Michael! I appreciate the comment. I hope you have an amazing week!
This is awesome!
Thanks so much 👌
Now that's a table!
Thanks, Martin! I appreciate that. Have a wonderful week, my friend 👍

Looking good :D
Hey Doug! I hope all is well with you! Thanks for popping in, my friend! Have a good one 👍
Looks Simply Superb !
Thanks, my friend! Always appreciate hearing from you!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you kindly! Have a fantastic week 👍
Very nice. How do you reach across the 7' width? Leaving the table set up is a great asset.
Just barely... table originally was 8 foot wide, and that ended up being a mistake. I took a circular saw and shaved 6 inches off each side.
looks nice good job
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment! Have a fantastic week 👍
wow incredible
Thanks Thomas! I appreciate that my friend! Have a fantastic week 👍
@@basement1908 i know what it means to paint 1000+ miniatures,.....amazing work dude!!!!!!!!!! have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Awesome, fantastic! Are you going to do a video covering the battle?
A full battle report. It will be a beast. I am guessing 3 hours long!
Sorry, but this is not a deployment that Wellington would have done by having substantial troops in a valley exposed to French artillery
I am quite sure you are correct. I'm just having some fun playing with the troops! I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week 👍
Looking forward to the battle.
