Hello, I'm making a list for possible 28mm 19th Century ranges and would like to know what would you like to see available in the future. What wars, what figures to complement current ranges, books/booklets, scenarios, painting guides, etc. |
Rudi the german | 07 Mar 2013 3:53 a.m. PST |
More 1866 and 1870 prussians, austians, bavarians, wuerthembergers, braunschweigers, and french. Inf and cav and art crews. Greetings and have fun |
carbine1959 | 07 Mar 2013 5:09 a.m. PST |
Austrians vs. Italians 1849. Colourful (esp. the Italians)good troops on both sides and Radetzky!! Unusual transition uniforms as well. And nobody does a good range for it. Cheers. |
Frothers Did It And Ran Away | 07 Mar 2013 5:12 a.m. PST |
A comprehensive 1st Afghan War or French in Algeria c. 1840 would fill a hole. |
epturner | 07 Mar 2013 5:49 a.m. PST |
What Rudi said. Plus Canadians for the 1885 Rebellion and the Fenian Raids. Eric |

I'm with the carbine. 1848-49 is neglected and offers a lot. I would add Hungarians from the same period. Also, there is the Russo-Polish War of 1830 which is also interesting in a sub-Napoleonic sort of way. |
Blake Walker | 07 Mar 2013 7:17 a.m. PST |
You have different figure ranges for 28mm Franco-Prussian War. You can also do it in 15mm and 10mm. There's also Crimean War and Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Besides the Franco-Austrian War of 1859. I use Chassepot and Needlegun for my rules. You can also use 1866, 1870, and Black Powder, too. And there are Neil Thomas's 19th Century Warfare rules, also. Hope this helps, Blake |
kingscarbine | 07 Mar 2013 8:03 a.m. PST |
I'm not familiar with the 1848-49 war but I'm interested in the Resorgimento. |
CooperSteveOnTheLaptop | 07 Mar 2013 11:39 a.m. PST |
Yeah I'm interested in Fenian ranges
|
jefritrout | 07 Mar 2013 12:31 p.m. PST |
The wars of Uruguayan Independence and the Farropilhan Revolution in Southern Brazil. 1817-1845 Lots of Gaucho cavalry and even Gaucho infantry fighting against Napoleonic Portuguese, Brasilian, Argentine troops. You can even include the Argentine wars with and against Rosas in there. |

A New Sikh Wars line would be great. 1848-49 Austrians together with Italians and Hungarian rebels would be great. |
Broglie | 07 Mar 2013 3:32 p.m. PST |
15mm French in Algeria 1830 to 1845 is a completely ignored. Given the exotic uniforms I do not understand why. |
Mad Guru | 08 Mar 2013 12:03 a.m. PST |
A second vote for 1840s French and Algerians, preferably compatible with Perry Carlist Wars French Foreign Legion figures, and/or a complete First Afghan War range. |
kingscarbine | 08 Mar 2013 3:40 a.m. PST |
Hmmm
Good choices there. Not very interested in Fenians but the Canadian 1830's revolts look interesting.I do like II Empire French and they stretch a long way. Here are the ranges I'm considering: French II Empire (North Africa; Crimea; Italy; Mexico; FPW) South American Wars, 1830-1870 Risorgimento,1848-1866 Portugurese Civil War, 1826-34 First (1833-40) and/or Third Carlist War,1872–1876 KuK (Austria), 1848-1860 FPW German States Mexico, 1850-1867 War of the Pacific, 1879-84 |
kingscarbine | 08 Mar 2013 6:13 a.m. PST |
Any good books on the First Italian War of Independence? |
Durando | 08 Mar 2013 8:16 a.m. PST |
Inrerested in the War in The Pacific in 28mm 1879-1883 The Wars of Triple Alliance in South America Serbian-Ottoman war of 1876 Polish Uprising Russo Ottoman war 1826 |
agplumer | 09 Mar 2013 11:39 a.m. PST |
Greek War of Independence 1821-1832 Egyptian–Ottoman War (1831–1833) Egyptian–Ottoman War (1839–1841) Another vote for a French Conquest of Algeria range Andrew |

The American Civil War – oh hang on don't Airfix do this one already -sorry
|
Theironduke | 10 Mar 2013 12:04 p.m. PST |
Any good books on the First Italian War of Independence? Radetzkys Marches by Mike Embree is an excellent work on the subject. |
John the Greater | 12 Mar 2013 6:30 a.m. PST |
I'll join the chorus for the War of the pacific and the War of the Triple Alliance. The wars in Italy leading up to unification are also interesting. To answer Duke's question, the Osprey book on Garibaldi is a good overview. |
McLaddie | 12 Mar 2013 6:59 a.m. PST |
Gadzooks. You forgot the Hungarian revolution 1848-9 Larger most of the wars mentioned below unless you referred to that with 'KuK (Austria), 1848-1860': French II Empire (North Africa; Crimea; Italy; Mexico; FPW) South American Wars, 1830-1870 Risorgimento,1848-1866 Portugurese Civil War, 1826-34 First (1833-40) and/or Third Carlist War,1872–1876 KuK (Austria), 1848-1860 FPW German States Mexico, 1850-1867 War of the Pacific, 1879-84 |
laptot | 12 Mar 2013 3:04 p.m. PST |
French Western Sudan with Tokalor, Samory sufa and Bambaras in 15mm (Tolleur figures too hard to get) |
kingscarbine | 13 Mar 2013 7:59 a.m. PST |
@McLaddie I've just started to read about the Hungarian Revolution 1848-49 and it's a growing interest. I thought this was a minor war and never thought they fielded such large armies. Good period to game with lots of colourful uniforms. I've found a couple of uniform books in Hungarian but Partizan Press has a good one in English. Looks like a winner. |
Justin Credible | 13 Mar 2013 5:52 p.m. PST |
Choose periods not covered by existing ranges. The South American Wars of Liberation right from their beginning in the early 1800s would suit me. Battles are small enough in numbers to suit 28mm perfectly. |
McLaddie | 14 Mar 2013 7:34 a.m. PST |
kingscarbine: It is a fascinating war. Where else can you have a 60,000 man army fielding infantry in Hussar coats, cavalry all hussars and lancers, while the artillery carriages painted green, red and white? Great flags too. I've done a lot of research into the war. The armies were larger than or as large as any of the listed 19th century wars save the 1866 and 1870 wars. You even have 200,000 Russians involved
And there are a number of good books available. Do you have the Hungarian uniform book that the Partizan Press book is based on? |
kingscarbine | 14 Mar 2013 8:45 a.m. PST |
No, but I plan to buy it ASAP. I found some interesting title on the Internet Archive that I plan to read and there are some Eastern European forums with topics and uniforms info. Loving it more and more. |
Strassoldo | 14 Mar 2013 12:39 p.m. PST |
Don't forget to get some Italians as well, so you can do both for 1848-49!! |
KTravlos | 14 Mar 2013 2:36 p.m. PST |
Greeks and Ottomans for 1897! |
pacofeanor | 18 Mar 2013 8:19 a.m. PST |
Algéria 1840-47, or itlian risorgimiento 1859 or China 1860 ! |

Will Napoleonic Austrians do for the 1848-49 Revolutions? |
McLaddie | 21 Mar 2013 1:31 p.m. PST |
Will Napoleonic Austrians do for the 1848-49 Revolutions? kingscarbine: For the most part, yes. Many units had gotten rid of the back visor as well as the belltopped shako, but a number of units, such as the Grenz, still wore thm in 1848. A French Napoleonic fusilier in a great coat will also work. The Austrian Uniform [with or without great coat] will work for a number of Hungarian units, but ACW soldiers in kepi and long coat will work for Hungarian infanty with cording added and waist belt removed
The uniforms and artillery were very much Napoleonic. |
kingscarbine | 22 Mar 2013 3:17 a.m. PST |
Thanks McLaddie. Looking at the period uniforms I also got the impression I could convert some ACW figures for Hungarians. Luckily the NYPL has a great collection of Austrian uniforms available on-line: Austria, 1848 [part 1]: link Austria, 1848 [part 2] link |
kingscarbine | 28 Mar 2013 6:56 p.m. PST |
B/W uniforms drawings of 1848 Hungarian Revolution Armies: link |
McLaddie | 28 Mar 2013 8:55 p.m. PST |
Nice review of the uniforms of the three armies. Too bad they are in B/W as you can appreciate the colorful uniforms. |
mashrewba | 29 Mar 2013 4:09 a.m. PST |
Wow -I just looked at these plates -the most spectacular troops in history!! The Russians are easy at least being as in the Crimea unless I'm mistaken. |
Ian Dury | 30 Mar 2013 12:36 p.m. PST |
McLaddie, Kingscarbine – have you ever looked at the Continental Wars Society, or seen one of our display games at Salute? We have covered the Hungarian Revolution (and most of the others of the period) in our soociety magazine – as well as having done one of the battles as a dispaly game a few years ago. Also, our secretary, Ralph Weaver, is the author of the Partizan Press book you refer to – so why not drop in and see us at Salute next month? Ian |
Mollinary | 30 Mar 2013 2:55 p.m. PST |
Entirely endorse Ian's suggestion. We are doing Nachod 1866 this year, which may not be quite your cup of tea, but the society is a tremendous resource, and should be worth at least an exploratiory visit. Mollinary |
kingscarbine | 30 Mar 2013 3:12 p.m. PST |
Hi Ian, I plan to stop at the Continental Wars Society stand and have a chat. I've been looking to become a member for some time and now I'll have the chance. Do you have an index of the magazines? I've contacted Caliver to pick the Hungarian Uniforms book at Salute. @Mollinary I'll take a look at the Nachod display. |
Ian Dury | 30 Mar 2013 4:32 p.m. PST |
We do a CD of back copies that we will be selling at the show (I will remind Ralph to bring some!) which has a full index of the articles in it. As a random sample: FC no.64 Army of Naples in 1860. Combat in 1870-71 Gun-boats on Lake Garda General Richard Church 'An Open Question' Poland's Jewish soldiers FC no.65 The comedy of Saarbrucken. War News (from FUN) The Prussian soldier in 1870 The memory of Mentana Mobilization and concentration Danish militia in the West Indies Uniforms of the Prague National Guard Hopefully see you there! |
scarlinosr1 | 01 Apr 2013 7:18 p.m. PST |
Lots of Italians for their unification!!! Sal Sr out!!! |
McLaddie | 01 Apr 2013 8:58 p.m. PST |
Ian Dury; Yes, I have those Continental Wars Society issues [and CD of back issues] dealing with the Hungarian Wars and I have Ralph's book. Unfortunately I am in California, so I won't be showing up at Salute anytime soon, though I'd love to stop by. Best Regards, Bill |
Ian Dury | 02 Apr 2013 1:26 p.m. PST |
McLaddie – I guess you are a member already then. If there is anything specific you are interested in, let me know and I will see what we can find Ian ian.dury@hotmail.co.uk |
kingscarbine | 02 Apr 2013 4:30 p.m. PST |
Hi Ian, I want anything you have about the 1848 Revolutions and Risorgimento
At least. |
Ian Dury | 03 Apr 2013 11:10 a.m. PST |
Ok Kingscarbine – sounds like you need a copy of our back issues CD (£10, I believe) – plus I will bring down something I am working on of Italian Uniforms from 1848 – mostly taken from the NYPL Digital Collections See you at Salute! |
COMMODORE LMV | 05 Apr 2013 5:21 a.m. PST |

The Austro-Prussian War of 1866: The Opening Battles. link The War of 1866 shocked Europe: by its short duration, little more than seven weeks; by its unprecedented number of corps sized engagements; and by the unexpected eclipse of the continent's second ranking military power. Most of the war's remarkable events took place in Bohemia, culminating in the climactic Battle of Königgrätz. This book examines four of the engagements which set the scene (Gitschin, Trautenau, Nachod and Skalitz). In addition, it examines a plausible ‘what if' alternative Battle of Skalitz in which Benedek, the Austrian Commander, takes advantage of the opportunity presented to him in real life, and engages one Prussian Corps with two of his own. The book analyses the campaign, the armies and their weapons, and leads the reader through the process of bringing them to the tabletop. In this instance, this involved modifying an existing popular rule set to produce a game the flavour of which is distinctly ‘1866'. This approach has been aptly described as ‘a staff ride in miniature', and the authors stay true to this. This Staff Ride in Miniature is very apt as it is more than just another wargaming scenario book as it looks in detail into the campaign that is barely mentioned in English. It showed the superiority of the breech loading rifle and the artillery. It forshadowed the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Other books in the series.
