Franco-Prussian encounter at the NWS

Wonderful looking table

Just a quick post to highlight two of my good mates collection of Franco-Prussian troops used in a game at the club a few weeks ago at one of our Saturday gaming days.  Both Steve and Martin have quite a few of these superbly sculpted Wargames Foundry figures.  They are certainly some of my favourite figures in the entire Foundry range.

For a change the French were attacking the Prussians 

Martin’s lads take up a pretty sturdy position

More Prussians arrive to reinforce

Steve and Marty love playing Black Powder rules with their FPW troops



Skirmish lines encounter each other on the left flank

These are once again brilliant sculpts

All home made hedges and locally acquired OTP buildings expertly completed 

I had to dart off  and didn’t see the final result other than to have missed some French Heavy cavalry arriving on the field and the Prussian defenders being expelled from the Château and surrounds.

Well done lads

  1. Lovely figures and so nice to see an FPW game without any cavalry in sight.

    1. Thanks Lawrence. Steve and Martin would be chuffed to hear you line their setup

  3. That certainly is a lovely looking collection of toys Carlo…
    Given their age the figures still stand up well to more modern figures.

    All the bet. Aly

    1. So true Aly. I do think these FPW from the twins are quite beautiful.

  4. Lovely troops and table! Give the French some better leadership, and this can be an interesting period to game, given the differences in weapons on each side.
