The next random project - 28mm Franco-Prussian skirmish?!?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

The LB club like their 28mm skirmish rules, my forces are being assembled (one box of Perry plastics is done, the other will be done when I can face them, they're a tad fiddly) but I have finished the jump-off point that Too Fat Lardies rules appear to work from.


I was tempted to add the Imperial banner details, but I'm not sure whether we are going Imperial period or 3rd Republic?

I look forward to seeing these!

28mm French for FPW Sharp Practise, figures by Perry, unit bases by Products for Wargames, as seen in action here.

First three groups of eight


I was going to prettify the unit bases, but looking at them, I like the unbased effect!


My view


Column right?


In column left


Fouth unit and fifth units


Really liked these to paint, building however?


Fire!


Slight change to normal Sharp Practise - Age of Rifles uses 'Extended line' from 'Flexible drill' rule.


The rest without unit bases (next month's purchase)

Advance


Off we go


They're on the right now!

Leaders leading




Everyone point at the enemy


Loins led by...


Casulty bases for Sharp Practise 'Shock' markers, the space between the legs is perfect for a Pendraken 7mm die!


Hopefully, they never get higher than 1 shock?

Verynice!

Leadership bases from Sabotag3d, fits 25mm nicely.


Might have to buy pack 2 (7-12) if this project gains any traction at the club!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Chasseurs a Pied and the five extra figures from the orignal set that I had not got round to.
Including a bugler and a sergeant with pretensions of officer classes.

Tried to get the kepi right


Not quite enough for the line to make an extra unit, but skirmishers are sixes in Sharp Practice, so two groups of those please.

And fire!
