I bought some Perry Bros items: Portuguese Artillery, Cavalry and Telegraph Station. I need one extra figure for artillery crew. Should I use the telegraph crew being used as a bipod and replace him with a spare standing horse? #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming #28mm #nerdling

Sharp Practice - Portugal in the winter Scenario 3: Attack-Defence, we rolled 16 points of support so there were guns galore. With British Light Infantry behind earthworks it was doomed. It started well but the French had no chance. #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming

Fiddly to put to together means fiddly to paint. That's what I find. The Warlord Portuguese Fusilier was easy to put together and easy to paint. The Perry French 1807-14 guy was the opposite. I saw it rated low in by a YouTuber for this reason. Just my view #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming

Sharp Practice G2 didn't end well for the French On the flank, British big formation in attack column hit the French, who ran! In the centre, the French faced the music from the Buffs ...but they held. Sadly the French artillery crew did not. #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming #28mm #nerdling

After limbering up and towing French cannon into a useful position, a hot contest developed between the artillery. Meanwhile the Voltigeurs try to drive the British lights out of the hovel, but their boss gots knocked out! #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming #28mm #nerdling

Sharp Practice Peninsular G2 Deployment French cannon came on first limbered. British Light skirmisher are the house French are on top of themselves facing the wrong way British main force arrived in attack column The cannon duel went on all game #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming

The artillery has no target so needs to move

The British main force arrives in attach column and the French are facing the wrong way.

1st game of Sharp Practice. My foe, Two Tiger Tony did his usual and bought the biggest gun available; a 12pdr and proceeded to blow my French away. The 7th Hussars flank attack failed by a whisker. We did more wrong than right but it's a good start #spreadthelard #thearmypainter #wargaming
