I like playing Black Powder for 28mm Napoleonic’s, is there a planned supplement to cover from 1805 – 1807 for BP2? If not is there a home-brew / fan supplement that would give ideas for armies and lists? I feel early Napoleonic’s misses out and is a great period (especially if you are a French player 🙂 ) .

I know at Borodino it was reported that the light cavalry division of the Corp V had a regiment of Hussars, Chasseurs and Uhlan only.

So I could proxy and paint up French minis?

I just received my Roman Legion box and I’ve been studying up on how to represent an army. A Roman sprue can make a hastai base, a principes base, a triarii base and a Velites base. Also one commander and two light cavalry figures and two medium cavalry figures. Now two sprues will much a unit each of the four infantry types but WL’s…[Read more]

So 20 sprues! Cav is five models to a base and two bases to a unit so in 20 sprues there will be 4 units of heavy and light Roman cavalry.

Is a unit (maniple) one base? That would be only 10 frames 🙂

As a fellow Aussie I feel you pain, I don’t buy my figs anymore I print them. The distributor here in AUD treats as if we are mugs (and we aren’t 40K players) 🙂

Warlords need to stop treating AUD and NZ like it’s treasure island. I have a whole DoW 1812 army ready to print from a great graphic artist. The figs and poses are better than…[Read more]

I’ve just joined a local group that have started with Epic Napoleonic’s, they was an interesting conservation starter posted.

I haven’t tried yet but apparently cavalry hang over the front and back of the 20mm wide bases so 60 x 30mm bases have been suggested.

Also for the look it’s been suggested heavy cavalry use 6 minis per stand…[Read more]

I thought that would b e the case so, it’s pretty difficult to create a DoW list without Allies.

On pg 167 of CoE is the DoW list, I don’t know how you could ever make a all Polish 1,000 list.

For a start 2 infantry brigades max, the 4th battalion was a depot unit and having a brigade of eight is hard to keep in control range of general.

I would make regiments of 3 (historically correct as well), regiment gun for each regiment,…[Read more]

Not that that make sense, when we play 28mm we have two ranks of six figures.

I have never been a fan of greatcoat on mini’s to me it’s lazy.

How are the rules in Battle of Midway aligned to the Air Strike rules? If I get Midway would I need to buy the Air Strike rules? I note you can get Midway at a reduced price using points, what would be the best way to start in this game?

Also what scale are you printing for 15mm, I’m using 92% for 28mm.

I agree the models from that KS are great, the Uhlan are being delivered this weekend 🙂
