Some of the best FPW wargames units that I have seen. |

Good job, very nice looking game.
We are planning a St. Privat game using Black Powder Rules and 10mm troops.
Your troops look great.

Thanks for the comments. It was a rather hurriedly arranged game so the terrain was more open than I prefer.
The rules are home grown – developed over many years. This game saw a change in the structure of the forces so that three stands formed a French battalion and four formed a German battalion. No casualties are removed, but when a unit accumulated four hits it was ruled disrupted (providing some combat restrictions) and when they accumulated six hits they became shaken (with serious implications). It worked well although the number of counters in use was a little messy, but I am working on a solution for that. |

these appear to be 28mm Foundry- VERY well done.Wonderful looking game. |

Indeed they are Foundry figures. They date back to the mid 1980s, when Foundry was called Wargames Foundry. Three of the Prussian units are figures of my own design. |
