It's been a while so may I present another remembrance. A French battalion - the 4/132nd Ligne circa 1813 - with some regimental command lurking safely to the rear. Calpe Miniatures. Salute

A unit to be proud of. And ... hey, I have one of those. An 1813 version after careful watering, feeding and nurturing in the sunshine! 🤣 Salute

Later Napoleonic Prussian 1/4 Reserve Infantry resplendent in their British supplied uniforms excepting the officers in their regular uniforms. There should not be a flag but this one issued from their "parent" regiment the 4th Infantry Regiment (3rd East Prussian). Calpe Miniatures.

The unit was painted in its entirety! ... all at once!! ... as a whole!!! ... as an experiment. A bad choice of unit for the experiment with all the lacing and piping involved. D'oh!

Time for a little more Napoleonic Polish remembrancing. This time it's the first battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. Or at least how I use them. The second battalion is currently being formed. Front Rank Figurines with a GMG Designs standard.

Prussian 12 pounder Battery Nr.4, 1813 style with an uhlan officer popping by. Administratively 12 pdr battery Nr.4 was part of the Prussian Artillery Brigade and as such wore white shoulder straps in 1813. Calpe Miniatures.

The mounted figure is the Regimental officer wearing bicorn and open Uberock from the Prussian Line Uhlans Advancing range. The idea is that the uhlan officer has just arrived on the scene with an urgent message for the battery commander who is currently concentrating on what is to be seen through his telescope. The uhlan officer and several of the gun crew are trying to gain the battery commander’s attention but sadly this gentleman has been around 12 pounder guns too long with the result that he is a little hard of hearing!

Generalmajor Vuich commands the Russian 24th Division for mostly 1813 gaming. As such he has been allocated a square coaster as a base with a little more real estate than his underling brigadiers. Front Rank Figurines.

The 3/4th East Prussian Landwehr Infantry Regiment is posed as a shot up firing line. The idea for this battalion came about due to Calpe's extended landwehr range including several casualty figures. In fact so many different casualty figures that not all of them could be utilised in the battalion!

von Peter himself @vonpeterhimself.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Huge strides of a later Napoleonic nature. 🤔 A casualty marker for the French 3/132nd Ligne watched closely by the skirmishing stand of the Saxon 1/Prinz Maximilian Infantry Regiment. Why they are atop a Roman watch tower is a fine topic for extended discussion down the pub! Calpe Miniatures.

Generalmajor Furstenwarther is the commander of the infantry of the Reserve which currently consists of 2 battalions of grenadiers. Front Rank Figurines.

The Generalmajor gets a mounted adjutant to help him out, a dismounted grenadier officer to assist the humans with a visual cue that this is the command for the grenadiers.
The final figure is a blue coated member of the Stabs-Infanterie who gets to wear the old helmet - even in 1813. Their duties included protection and escort details for the general headquarters & staff and acting as headquarters gendarmes in the field.

Two views of the Polish General de brigade Zoltowski. He's currently employed on the tabletop where one of his battalions got caught in line by Russian cavalry and despite the odds threw back said cavalry. Mutter mutter!! 🤬

I'm not what you'd call a fast painter. But I have recently finished some Napoleonic figures to aid with the gaming, e.g. these racing/galloping Prussian Feldjaegers from Calpe Miniatures. For more head on over to vonpeterhimself.wordpress.com/2025/02/23/s...

Today's remembrance focusses on Prussians of the Seven Years War variety. The musketeers of Infantry Regiment 19 Markgraf Karl backed up by the fusiliers of IR 42 Markgraf Heinrich. Other bits and pieces from other regiments hovering in the edges of the image.

Later Napoleonic Prussian cavalry of the 2nd Pommeranian Landwehr Cavalry Regiment variety. I really like the posing of the officer in the front rank. Calpe Miniatures.

Later Napoleonic Saxon artillery this time. Locally this represents the 1st Saxon Foot battery (6pdr) "Dietrich" of 1813.

An Austrian 12pdr position battery to bring some weight to my Austrian army. For some undoubtedly suspect reason I decided that all my 12 pdr batteries would be accompanied by a mounted officer. If nothing else it is an indicator/reminder on the table top.

The son & heir and I played a couple of General d'Armee 2 games over our Festive period. Good times were had. Pictures from the first game. Not sure why the Prussian landwehr are to be seen in a Russian village. These things can happen when one person organises the armies & another the terrain 🤓

Remembrancing: Napoleonic wargaming at the Call to Arms convention in Wellington, NZ in 2007. A group of us were involved in a campaign that inevitably ended up with all the armies converging. This finale had armies arriving from all over at various times. A fun day if memory is not hallucinating! 🤓

The first 5 Warbases Casualty Markers complete. Napoleonic Austrian flavoured. Assuming o per battalion that leaves 32 left to do, not counting the unpigmented battalions. And that's also not counting the artillery or cavalry!! This will be a slow burn background tasking.

I have 5 more of the Casualty Bases so thought I should order some more. Sadly they are out of stock though it is hoped that they will soon be back in stock. Apparently they are much in demand. Mutter mutter!

I have obtained some Warbases Casualty Markers. These examples are waiting for the glue to dry preparatory to some terraining. I like the aesthetics of them more than casualty dice for GdA2. Question: do they work in a game or can they be hard to read or get knocked off their score too easily?

Back to the Prussian Army, 1813. The 1st Leib Hussar Regiment resplendent in their black faced red and ornamental skull and cross bones. To their credit they have proved to be generally reliable troops for me on the table top which, given my leadership, is a great credit to them! 🤣
