The League of Augsburg

I was very keen to experiment with some test masters of the new Swedish cavalry command. I tried them on the new horses (of which there are 5 variants) and on two of the existing horses.





They were easy and fun to paint. The poses are dramatic and the look was very pleasing when finished.






I will let the photos do the talking with some commentary around each.






The dramatic officer has a separate arm.

Delighted to say that we have now officially released four new codes for the ever expanding GNW Russian range.

We have R12 - the long awaited musketeers marching which come with shouldered musket - bayonet fixed or bayonet sheathed.





R13 The pikemen to march alongside these fine musketeers





R14 An outstanding Command pack with very flavoursome characters






And finally  R16 Grenadiers in fur mitre standing

The LoA GNW game at Falkirk 2017

I cannot say the our preparation for the Carronade show in Falkirk was faultless. I spent about 90 minutes the night before the show looking out all the various components from the game we had run at Tactica. Terrain - check, buildings - check, troops - check (sure about that?... yep), trees - text to Toggy - check, rules - check, handout - oops I forgot that, never...

Yep, I admit it, things have been pretty hectic over the last six to seven weeks. It may appear that we have not been doing anything here at Warfare Miniatures but a more accurate description of affairs is that we have not had time to tell anyone about all the things we have been doing!

Since my Dr Livingstone-Mr Stanley moment with Clibinarium in Enniskillen about a month ago (well exactly a month...

On the march once again.. The Army of William III

1693opens with many of the main characters elsewhere... Marlborough held at Versailles, Tollemache garrisoning a small frontier fortress in the low countries, Berwick sent on a diplomatic errand to the Vatican via Vienna and St Petersburg, Sarsfield back in Ireland raising and training a new army and Wauchope mad and incoherent in an unnamed...

Swedish battery appearing at Carronade and Partizan

As Toggy and I are working as a two man team with our demo game this Spring I have decided not to trade at Carronade and Partizan.

For all you 'Stato' types out there (and in my experience that is most gamers), I have included the casualties from the main battles in the 1692 campaign season here. It will be followed by the Roll of Honour/Dishonour in a subsequent post.

As many of these units have gained experience and have featured in the 1693 campaign the information does have some gaming relevance.

Some of the players have I...

We are delighted to announce the immediate availability of five superb sets of Russian Dragoons standards for the Great Northern War.

Sheets are £6 each ex postage. I will have a limited quantity at SALUTE 2017 next weekend

Toggy and I will be on duty at SALUTE 2017 with the full range of Warfare Miniatures products.

Find us on the Victrix stand. We will be carrying everything in the range including the new Marching Russian Musketeers and Pikemen from the GNW range.

I hope to have some painted samples of these up on the site soon.

Looking from the Swedish right towards the Russian positions

I honestly thought I had blogged our Fraustadt refight(s). Clearly I had not! A request to know more on another thread has prompted me to go to the archive and pull out some pix and scour my memory for what actually happened on the day (s) we ran this in Dumfries two or three years back.

The Swedish Army from its left wing looking long the...
