Very interesting. Full official establishment? Or actual field strength? Nice work. |

Kawe,
Please pass on to your friend Dirk congratulations on what a fantastic job he has done. Really amazing to see what can be achieved with high quality models like Perry Miniatures.. |

Sure will! He's having by far the most impressive collection that I've ever seen. |

"Full official establishment? Or actual field strength?" @ Goragrad – it looks to be book strength for a foot artillery battery post 1813 as there are nine gunners per piece (prior to this fifteen was the establishment). However Dirk hasn't been crazy enough to model everything – just the part that went into harms way. Franklin's "British Napoleonic Field Artillery" mentions the establishment to support a battery of four long 9lbers in the Low Countries in 1793: "It notes in addition to the 3 officers, 1 drummer, 7 NCOs and 65 gunners, it required 2120 rounds of ammunition, over 40 assorted carriages (wagons for grease, axles & wheels, shoes & nails, spare harness, forge cart, coals & iron, pickets and line, artificers tools, poineer tools, officers baggage (2), artillery tents, conductors baggage, artificer baggage, drivers tents & baggage (2), and 2 spare wagons) – 199 horses, 94 drivers, and 15 other civilan staff and artificiers… There is a diagram to go with this – and you can see how armies got strung out along the poor roads!! |

wow, that's just the best thing I've seen for a long time!
So jealous! Imagine how much all those Perry wagons etc cost – each one is £21.00 GBP!
Is this the same chap who did the curassier regiment at 1:1?
Absolutely amazing. |

As usual Armand, you find the most amazing wargaming subjects on the internet, keep posting and keep up the great work. And yes Kawe, your friend is my hero, that is just stunning. 28mm Napoleonics; sorry, there's nothing else quite like them when done in mass like this, so impressive. |

What is it about our Prussian/Saxon etc allies? They may turn up late to battles (but they get there just in time), they are better at penalty shoot outs than us, we may have had our differences once or twice since Gen Napoleone Buonaparte quit….but they do have the edge at massive dioramas. What is amazing is that they model a foreign unit to this detail. In UK we have only recently admitted that their lot actually turned up in 1815. You can knock M. Hofsch. but you do have to admit…he did remind us that, without Blucher and his lads…… There must be some patience built into Saxon genes to mass produce something like this. So where is this now? Something like this must not be in an attic! Some museum surely would cry out for this! |
