In a wargaming version of mindless doodling, I recently frittered away an hour or so arranging some of my 28mm Napoleonic figures onto my small wargaming table. My Napoleonic armies haven't seen the light of day for a number of years now. So on an impulse, I just decided to set them out for fun in a static depiction of a vaguely Peninsular War skirmish. You can see the results of my doodling on my blog here: link Here's an overview pic:

Looks very nice. Great buildings and scenery. You really do need a bigger table though! Sometimes I think setting up your toy soldiers and just admiring them is the best bit, before all the dice and paper gets in the way. I probably shouldn't admit that should I…. |

Looks great – I have done the same thing with my Medievals but my table is very shabby compared to yours |

Every once in a while you need to "parade the troops". I do it once in a while to remind myself that I don't "need" just one more unit, I merely want it. (and that is good enough reason to get it.) Your figs, buildings, etc are very nice. Thanks for posting. |

Agreed, putting them on parade gives us inspiration! Nicely done! |

I have a small (48 inches x 30 inches) table permanently set up in my study, and also normally have some of my 1:72 figures arranged on it. In fact the "banner" on the top of my website is just such a set-up. rodwargaming.wordpress.com I tend to use a historical scenario, like that one, which is Prestonpans during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. Having the figures on display helps to inspire me to paint more. I have a bigger (72 inch x 48 inch) table, which I can set up temporarily, and do so from time to time. Rod |

Why not, sort of a war game college |

Great stuff, as always! With such a beautiful collection, why do you no longer play Napoleonics? |
