paints brigs for the British fleet.
Personal budgets (and lack of space) often restrict our gaming. A 'cast of thousands' is an ideal that many wargamers are not able to realize. Armchair Generals are sometimes left with just a few figures per base, and sparse forces with which to 'extend the limits of glory'.
A few lucky wargamers are able to amass vast armies. Someone has given me several thousand 6mm Adler Miniatures Napoleonic figures, which I have just finished painting. I'm posting these pictures so that you can enjoy this army by proxy.
These figures are mainly based on three-inch-square bases. There are 106-110 infantry figures to a base, and 27 cavalry. Artillery bases have two guns, eight crew, six horses, three mounted riders, a limber, miscellaneous drummers and command staff. (This is not an economy basing scheme!)
