Having got the table painted up I thought I would try it out with a 40mm SYW 'Charge' game.
The French Regiment Du Roi advances encouraged by its Major.
The French gun deploys to support the Light infantry fight off the Allied Jaegers.
The French cavalry reform to counter the Allied cavalry's flank attack.
The British 20th Regiment of Foote march for the exposed French flank covered by the hills . The figure bases don't quite match the table but are close enough for now. Just for the record I counted up how many figures I have cast up so far ( I know this is a bit sad !) and came up with a total of 132 foot and 54 mounted plus 2 guns and limbers.
Looks good to me!

I really like the look of that table, sir. Very nice indeed . . . of course it does beg for more troops . . . so it is time to cast and paint more figures, eh?

Indeed more figures as soon as I amass more casting metal.
DeleteA magnificent display! Only the additional of a painted backdrop and possibly some dogs running alongside the generals could make it better.
ReplyDeleteYes a back drop is called for and will keep my Eyes open for 40mm scale dogs !
DeleteYou have set up a really beautiful table, nothing but more figures will aid it! It looks like you have the lighting and photography figured out as well!
ReplyDeleteA very handsome display, classic old school. You're right, very sad, you really should have known that number off the top of your head, (Didn't earn Generals rank by being a royal favorite or cousin by any chance?)I find the counting a joy in itself anyway and do it over now and again, just in case. Good way to catch defaulters.

Looks great! Prince August has molds for 40mm dogs as part of a fox hunt set, I believe...
ReplyDeleteQuite lovely sir! The whole thing just smacks of quality and the very best of old school.
ReplyDeleteWell done that man!
All the best,

Very nice and practical terrain setup. Have you painted the figures bases with the same paint you have used for the tabletop?
ReplyDeleteRegards, Cesar.
Unfortunatly did'nt , they predate the table repaint and I'm a bit loathed to start repainting them at present.
DeleteI think it will ad a lot to your setup, because the bases will almost disappear. Well perhaps in the future...
Deletelooks really nice ; great little setup

Your table has Little Wars written all over it. H.G. would have been proud of you ... Jeff
