28mm Napoleonic Prussians for Waterloo

Another great collection for my good mate Paul Spence ...

This time a lovely set of Prussian Regulars for the Waterloo campaign and some beautiful Landwehr for the same period.

The figures are all from the Perry's and the regulars are in advancing poses and have skirmishers whilst the Landwehr are marching.

I really enjoyed painting these but please don't look to closely at the flags as they are there for effect...lol

The Landwehr are in the British style of uniform that was adopted by the Prussians near the end of the wars and many reservist units had this in their own colours and facings and again it makes for different units in a game.

28mm Tombstone using Dixon Minis "Wild West"

Having watched a lot of great games of "dead mans hand " and other games on Youtube of the Wild West , I decided to have a go myself and opted for the "Lawless" basic rules and had a go with my Dixon collection...

I set up my town and went for the idea of the Earps against the "Cowboys".

Below you can see the two sides as I would play them.

 

I made my own cards for the game and decided on a quick encounter scenario with the gang leaving a saloon just as the Lawmen were leaving the sheriff's office.

The game played really quickly and before I knew it there were lots of dead cowboys and an Earp force standing strong...Really enjoyed this and made a nice change...and have to say love the Dixon stuff.
