Painting update…… and more

A quick update for the end of the week, first up some painting completed…

A small Peninsular vignette, direct from the Perry stable

A different view, the officer and the pioneer are added in from somewhere else

A dark age command figure, can’t remember where from but he is carrying a crow on his left arm ?

A priest not sure what I can use him for ?

I had some 15mm Germans left over in a bag so thought I would paint them up as basic Wehrmacht infantry as the majority of the rest are elite grenadiers. This gives me a few options for gaming in the future. They are a mix of figures left over, but work reasonably well as a group.

Another sunny day here in Cumbria so back out into the hills

If people get bored of the mountains let me know

I also travelled over to Martins this week where we played a battle loosely based on the battle of Ctesiphon 1915. Looking for something different we had a trench assault by the British. Hard to get this balanced but it worked out really well. With the British having a 2:1 advantage in numbers.

The Turks in their trenches

The British launch their advance across the worryingly open ground, not surprisingly the British take some heavy casualties

Eventually the residue of the attack make it to the trench where fierce hand to hand fighting breaks out

Both side have some artillery which targets the trench

By the end of the battle almost everybody is dead 🙁

The final fight sees the British capture the Turkish commanders.

A fun battle which worked out really well despite the obvious challenge of a trench assault across open ground.

That’s it for now and we are off to wales in a couple of days as the British weather hits up !

Thanks all

Matt ♥️
