"Some more eye candy from my big 10mm Napoleonic game!" Topic

Hey all!

Well, I posted the last six or seven turns of our big 10mm Napoleonic game, the Battle of Alain Valley!

So come on by and take a look!

It looks like a lot of fun. Very well painted minis and terrific tabletop.

You have a fabulous gaming space, well organized and tastefully done. Someday I hope to have something half as nice. Which companies did you get your 10mm from? I wish I was part of your gaming group, lucky stiffs.

Great, I love 10's!

Pictor's Studio ran 10mm Austerlitz at Historicon. Fantastic looking also. I don't recall if he posted pics here.

I'm guessing Old Glory strips,unless you did a whole lot of very fiddly work to get single casts so close together.

Looks like it was too much fun, I use the smoke in my games as it helps tell me who has fired this round.

Nicely set up and love using cotton also. Indeed, who is the mini manufacturer and is it modified warm aster rules? Whatever the case huzzah!

That's a nice looking table, full of nice looking miniatures, using nice looking props amidst nice looking scenery, and extremely nice use of photography to show it all off. Very well done, sir.

Great looking table and stands. This is your home-brewed rules, Brigades and Bearskins?

You seem pretty happy with them at the end. Stands represent…?

Hey guys!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I do try hard to put nice stuff out there, because I figure… Well, it is more fun to look at nicer pictures!:)

Bashy, thanks much. Yeah, the room is partially just a nice room, but also it is the work. Some of it is just that it is very nicely lit. Also, I tried to stay in a consistent color scheme. Finally, I tried not to overload the walls. I think all of that helped keep the room looking nice. You overestimate me, btw… I know a few gamers, but am nowhere lucky enough to have a regular group!:). I wish!

They are old glory for the most part. And yes, they are my home brew rules, which I couldn't find anywhere but finally found on a computer I have:). They still need a bit of refinement, but thankfully both my opponent and I are very easy going gamers… If something didn't quite work, or felt a bit off, we modified it on the spot to give a more appealing result!:). Every two stands of infantry represents a battalion… When you see one stand turned backwards, it means the unit is unsteady (morale.)

Oh, and I went through and did a little color balance to the entire entry.., the shots were a bit too green and yellow, compared to real life… I cannot edit the photos in the first post, but I edited all of the ones on the blog. Here is one that is a bit color adjusted… Note Napoleon himself emerging from the shadowy woods to urge on his Guard!:)

Anyway, thanks for coming by and taking a look and, as always, for the kind words!:)

Lord Ashram, awesome looking table and painted figures. We love 10mm for Napoleonics.

It was actually my friends(Alan, Bob and Lou) and I, that ran Austerlitz at Historicon and we are running it again at Fall In.

Posted pics on TMP here: TMP link

Thanks Xin! Your Austerlitz is fantastic. I could spend all day looking at those:) Any close ups or more shots?

One thing I have done is make some of my smoke elevated with toothpicks and on a little stand.

Xin--just noticed this. Sorry for the wrong attribution! I later realized my mistake,and should have come back here and corrected it. Mea culpa!
