Nice site indeed, but it is "Greek to me" :) |

Looks great, but my Italian is a bit rusty. |

Isn't La battaglia di Bull Run (21 luglio 1861) just outside of Agrate near Milano? |

Yep it is!
Right were there is my office! ;^) Anyway, very good site.

Very helpful. As I'm doing an Italian course, it gives me text I'd enjoy practising on. |

Appears they are playing a 1:60 game, I did a quick survey of the Guard forces on the table (easy to count with the low number of easily identifiable units) and found 4 battalions of Old Guard + 1 battalion of Italian Guard + ~28 Guard Cavalry = 88 figures, the Guard at Austerlitz was around 5,500 men in strength so if you play it a little loose as most gamers do when estimating strength (rounding up or down to the nearest figure for each unit) looks like it is 1:60 perhaps 1:50. Surprised me a bit since the mounting looks like Empire / 1:60 mounting but they often form lines in double depth and most 1:60 games provide for a single stand deep line. Looks great, I'd be curious what they use. Cheers, The Bandit |

The Austerlitz refight has 3,300 figures, Bandit. I didn't see a rule-set mentioned in the description. |

Thanks for the info. Figuring that a large French corps during 1805-1806 is ~450 figures and a small one is around 275-325 figures each at 1:60 something like 3,300 does sound about right for it to be about that scale. Figuring there were something like 170,000 men at the battle (the perhaps high but often given estimate) plus horses, limbers, whatever else was counted when they did their tally, seems about right. Cheers, The Bandit |

15mm invariably leaves me cold, but these pics (austerlitz) are fabulous….shall I bin 10,000 25mm figures and start again with AB?…..ok…No, I won't…but I did think about it for a minute, Brilliant. |

This is incredible. Original post from 2009, so good this thread needs resurrecting for all to see… |

What everyone has missed: SHANE IS BACK. Welcome back, friend. I hope to read more from you. I've been missing you all these months. Bill |

Having now viewed the site, I am reminded of two points which cannot be made too often. 1. There is no substitute for great photography. 2. There is no substitute for CASUALTY FIGURES. And this shows what looks like 1:60, based wargame figures, layed out into one great diorama. Bravisimo!! |
