| A view down the table showing the combatants almost finally deployed |
I’m hoping that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones wherever possible. For those of you who have not been so lucky, thoughts and prayers and prayers are with you all.
Today I finally had the opportunity to get the respective Russian and French forces on the table and roughly set them up for gimbal deployment tomorrow.
So let’s look at the forces of Count August von Bennigsen.
 |
| Russian Hussar brigade along the banks of the Alle River |
 |
| On the Russian left flank Lithuanian Uhlans, Guard Hussars. Two units of Cossacks led by Platov himself |
 |
| Russian infantry brigade around the stream |
 |
| Russian Jagers en masse - all lovely Elite Miniatures |
 |
| Another view of the forces around the stream towards the left flank |
 |
| Russian guns deployed on the rise. There is another 12 pounder battery off table on the other side of the River Alle ready to hit the forces of Marshall Ney |
 |
| Love those Russian Cossack figures from Elite |
 |
Another view of the Russian cavalry. Those Lithuanian Uhlans are Front Rank figures and are lovely |
 |
| Hovels Russian resin buildings (remember resin buildings folks?) garrisoned on the outskirts |
The French next time methinks
Looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much BZ.
DeleteLooks great, Carlo.
ReplyDeleteI do love those Hovels buildings; really nothing else that quite compares to them! I think I have all the sets except the Middle Eastern ones!
Thanks Peter. Yes we are both in accord over the wonderful Hovels buildings. I actually grabbed these in person many years ago from Dennis and Carol whilst in the UK for business a few years ago.
DeleteBrilliant Carlo. Will be a great Christmas game.

Absolutely Richard and thanks again for your kind comments.
DeleteGives a whole new definition to a Boxing day test!
ReplyDeleteHa ha - certainly does Kerry.
DeleteGreat looking Russian force - are you planning a similar breakdown of their French opponents?
ReplyDeleteCertainly am R - next day or so.
DeleteVonderbah Carlo
ReplyDeleteBring on the (evil!) French and the starter's gun.
Salute
von Peter himself
Greetings my dear Von Peter. Yes the French on display next and then the battle itself.
DeleteLove the early Jager uniforms! Also very large cavalry units - excellent! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt’s what I really like about 28mm Napoleonics Jay. Those early Russian jagers were a joy to paint by the way.
DeleteVery impressive battlefield and troops!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Dean.
DeleteExcellent stuff, happy holidays Carlo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark and very happy holidays to yourself in NZ as well mate.
DeleteGreat looking table, once more, Carlo. A lovely wander through the Russians. Looking forward to part two of the formal introductions before the dance.
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thank you James. French up in the next hour mate.
