So 2026 is off to a good start with me finally finishing up the Pavlov Grenadiers that sat patiently in various stages on my Hobby Desk.Well worth the effort, these turned out great and add some much needed color to the force.
In other news managed to get the first games of the new year in today. We tried a slight variation on the Sweep the Field mission from Sharp Practice. It definitely needs some tweaks with the victory conditions and the opposing force absolutely does not need a delay to deploy. With that said it was some fun games, and we are trying to tweak these book scenarios to become more playable.
Luckily I took lots of photos to at least show off everything I've been working on since October. One things for sure I am absolutely not done yet painting Russian Napoleonic's, the enthusiasm is at an all time high. This is definitely a combination between putting painted models on the board and the right history books being read.
Next planned on the painting table is a large block of 4 Line infantry, perhaps the Totobolsk Regiment and a Unicorn Gun.
Some of the highlights of both games was the French Curassiers pulling up to the nearest building and 3 of the troop immediately deciding the food and beer inside was more inviting, very fun random event. With some angry officer shouting later, his men fell back into line. From the Russian side, my Finland Guard Jaegers taking a hell of a detour through the forest, being directed by my Exploring Officer. Eventually they decided to get a move on and crashed into the French right flank winning a melee and delivering a volley to the retreating Voltigeurs. Neither of these determined the outcome of the game, but were narrative nonetheless.
I'll be updating once I make a start on my next units. Hopefully some more games soon also.
Thanks for reading as always.
