It's amazing what you can do in two days, stuck at home – I've bunged up my knee. I've finished culling, re-organising & (horrors!) re-basing my last French corps. That gives me 2 line, 1 Guard & a Confederation Corps for Napoleon. Each corps has infantry, cavalry & artillery integral to it. I can use a single corps for a small game, two for a larger & all 4 for a Show game. 2ème Corps – under Marshall Ney theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link theminiaturespage.com ‌"TMP link The French Napoleonics are my oldest figures, in general. Plastic & metal 1/72 & 20mm, some painted 40 years ago. Not the best painting but I have a great affection for them.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. Hope the knee gets better….but not before you get some more work done!😊

Wonderful, incredible, so many nice figures… I particularly like your 3rd Hussars!

Really good stuff. Inspriational as well. Now to get back to my own 1/72 project.

They still look darn good! It's funny. My own original Naps are Der Kriegspielers from Custom Cast. Got them back in the 70's. We gamed a ton of battles in Spain. I still have the figs. I had to repair some barrels as they were fragile. I've added some Hinton Hunt to it. I always enjoy seeing pics of your armies. Just puts me in a better mood. Being 1/72 with 20mm (my favorite scale) just makes it icing on the cake! Thanks John

I am looking forward to Naps being a focus for the next few years. I'm thinking for the typical "garage game" we continue to use 'General d'Armee' but for bigger games, give SHAKO a go. I'm impressed by the relatively quick & simple yet satisfying games we've been having using a SHAKO-variant for the SYW.
John Leahy	07 Oct 2022 8:43 p.m. PST
That's the variant in the 1st edition of the rules? Thanks John

No, John. The SHAKO/1 SYW rules were a bit bare & needed a few ingredients to make them more….SWY-ish? With some great ideas from an American & a Welsh internet friends, I've got a variant we smilingly call, "Tricorne". Want them?
John Leahy	08 Oct 2022 6:33 a.m. PST
Sure! That would be great! Thanks John
