March 2025 - round up from the Napoleonic Wargames Blogging world

Calpe

Von Peter Himslef has declared: the 4/132nd Ligne is now complete with a casualty marker and skirmisher base.  Huzzah...!









and Calpe miniatures are back in production again  at Gripping Beast  phew...

Aly came across some relics from Waterloo Uncovered













Small scale gaming from https://battlesin6mm.blogspot.com/ 

Lechdorf is a fictional game" What follows is a report of our most recent Napoleonic engagement using the Volley & Bayonet rules and 6mm miniatures. This fictional engagement is set in 1809 where the French have crossed the Danube east of Vienna and are confronted by the Austrians. It is considered to be just prior to the historical Battle of Aspern-Essling"







Hinton Hunt Austrian Grenadiers are getting fresh paint.









and still in Old School Miniature Minions declares 

The 2nd Battalion of the 4th Infantry Regiment of Baden is done.  










Blunders on the Danube has been prolific this month... the Cazadores caught my atention









Also prolific is Don't Throw a one - loved these limbers










Scrivland coninues to churn out Prussians











Epic scale 1813 battle:

" I also wanted to cram as many troops on the table as possible to stretch Lasalle, designed for Divisional games, to Corps size."







Chasseur is catching up posting some amazing painting "These are Victrix figures which are my favourite Austrian plastic kit due to the options. This is another 3 boxes making four units of 36,"









Computer moderated Albuera: "And things got going pretty quickly. Both Belette’s and Furet’s brigades launched an all-out assault on the Allied right and the village of El Tejón. None of this preliminary bombardment and softening up the enemy stuff. Straight in with the bayonet. Except you have to get through a fair amount of lead first to say nothing of struggling across a river or a bridge to get to grips with your opposite number."









Will has got some Italians painted and this post on the Alumwell show

Musee de la Cavalerie - Saumur, visit summer 2019




Right folks - some pictures from my summer visit to the Cavalry Museum in Saumur, hosted in one of the old building used for training French Cavalry -  mostly images from Napoleonic times.

Worth an hour, not much more.
