Götterdämmerung

Yesterday a battle was fought. There were about 650 troops on the table:

With some very exciting action:

I won't have a full report for another week as I'm off on my travels today to spend a glorious week exploring Dunedin and the country thereabouts with two clever, beautiful, and brilliantly witty ladies. I'm hoping this will help me forget just how comprehensively and distastrously I was defeated!

À tout à l'heure

Gunning for Glory

The Emperor is reviewing his newly reinforced artillery:

While waiting for His Majesty to show up, the newly-joined 3rd and 4th line batteries go through their paces:

The Imperial Retinue finally arrives:

The batteries come into action:

Fire!:

The Emperor is content!

Napoleon: Take a deep breath, Gentlemen. It is the scent of Victory!

Apologies for the delay in posting these. The guns are Claytons which had been woefully miscast and took a lot of recarving to make them presentable. I think it was worth it, however, as the French gun line is looking quite respectable at last.

The 3rd and 4th Batteries go into action next week at the Wellington Warlords Call to Arms 2025 event. There'll be quie a few troops on the table. A report will follow.

Have a good weekend everyone
