Napoleonic 2mm

[Edmund2011]

I've started a tiny new project   

For now I have painted the french infantery, next the cav and artillery.

[MooseDontBounce]

Very cool.  A really good job.  I used to have 2mm napoleonic armies.  What did you use for the groundwork?

[Last Hussar]

I'm in the middle of 2mm project.  I have a set of rules by Sam Mustapha where one unit (3 inch bases) is 1 division.  I'm basing 1 block to 2 battalions or 4 squadrons.  I don't do this much detail - I rarely paint flesh. Its what I call my 3 foot standard - can you tell from the other side of the table!

Tried it once so I could do mixed operations games with the fleets I had then. But I remain convinced that 6mm is the way to go for horse and musket games.

Agreed, for large Horse & Musket games, 6mm is small enough for massed effect but large enough for some detail

Lovely work Edmund. The bases work a treat which makes a big difference at this szie IMHO.

[petercooman]

Nice!

I have some laying around too, just can't decide upon rules and basing.

[Bodvoc]

Very nice painting, the basing you have used is also very effective.

[Techno]

Lovely stuff, Edmund.
Cheers - Phil.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice work.

[Edmund2011]

Thanks a lot guys. Bases are important, as they are much bigger than the figures! 

Mine are quite simple: white glue + sand + flock.

I will give a try to Shako rules and also Warmaster with simple napoleonic houserules added.

[petercooman]

Try napoleonicmaster! Easy and good! It comes free from the warmaster historical yahoo group! I can send you a copy if you want, only thing you need is the warmaster rules.


I decided to give a try to "2 by 2"; read through the rules this morning.

[Womble67]

Very nice

Take care

[Fenton]

Nice work...Like the basing a lot

Been thinking about getting some of MM's new 3mm ancients to have a go with sword and spear
