Back to the Surrey Hills: The Prussian retreat
The Prussians are in full retreat! And the British have finally got together a force capable of routing them from our green and pleasant land... The Prussians have holed up near the coast in the little hamlet of Fanny Hands Lane but the British have sent the Guards, regulars of the 31st and the naval brigade in to oust them finally. They have been supported by a new fangled walker on loan from Naval Headquarters. The Prussians have condensed all their troops in the village an

A place in the sun
Specifically, the Peninsular although to be honest, these buildings could be used in many places around the Mediterranean. I intend to make several of these building bases as I have a sizeable collection of Portuguese figures and have also started some Spanish. The chap who I play with has plenty of French so the buildings should see plenty of action. I actually forgot to take a photo of all the separate parts but the links are below for the specific ranges and the actual lis

The rocks at the 'front' help to red

Spanish guerillas had mentioned to Portuguese high command that Lady Fakham was being transported from the convent to a secret location but that the convoy would be taking the main road to the coast... The French column was going past a small settlement that the Portuguese had decided to use as cover to s

A bit more Sharp Practice
Well, with the disastrous events of the last game I felt it was appropriate to try and recapture Lady Fakham (who I think is probably quite happy where she is but it's the principle of the thing!). The Portuguese forces had been reliably informed that Lady Fakham had been taken to a convent so they forced march to the location in the vein hope of rescuing her. The Portuguese started on the right above the bridge with the French entering opposite but they already had a unit of
