It contained the Westfalia Persians I was waiting so now, I can start preparing my core force for SP2.<br />
<br />
The miniatures are very clean, having almost no flash, and really nice. My only complain is that some line infantry has too short bayonets because they break without difficulty. However, that is not a problem for me because I have plenty of spare plastic bayonets from Perry or Victrix Napoleonics.<br />
<br />
I have 4 packs of line infantry (24minis) plus 1 command pack (6minis):<br />

1 camel gun and the high command pack that includes a mounted Shah, a walking officer, a mule handler and its mule and a British advisor. This last miniature will be really usefull for my Peninsular games but I think I won't use it for this project as I'm thinking on a different period and enemy to fight my Persians...<br />

Well, that happened to me when I first saw the Westfalia miniatures Napoleonic Persians: when they appeared a year ago, I kenew that I needed them and I bought some packs.<br />
Sadly, they ended on the lead pile waiting for some spare time to being painted.<br />
<br />
However, the appearance of Sharp Practice II and the idea of running an ImagiCampaign, has moved me to... Yes, buy more miniatures to finish up my army. So by the end of August I made a small order to Westfalia that added to those already in my collection gives me:<br />
<br />
- Three units of 8 regulars<br />
- 1 unit of 8 Kurdish heavy cavalry<br />
- 1 unit of 6 afghan skirmishers<br />
- 1 camel gun.<br />
- 1 mule and handler<br />
- Enough command for the big men.<br />
<br />
And now, here I am waiting for my miniatures and eager to begin with this new project.Oriolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572795188036552113noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115128859981936225.post-55745587189723215492016-07-29T03:03:00.001-07:002016-07-29T03:03:13.889-07:00French ArtilleryToday I show you my french foot artillery battery.<br />
<br />
I'm quite happy with the unit and they are ready to deliver some steel to any thin red line that would appear.<br />
<br />
It's composed of two 8 pdrs and a 6 inch howitzer.<br />
In addition to the artilleryment, there is a command base with and officer and a drummer.<br />
The unit is a mix and match of four different manufacturers:<br />
<br />
The artillerymen from Brigade Games. I love the style of this company.<br />
The guns and the officer are from Front Rank. A classic<br />
The drummer comes from a limited edition of miniatures from the <a href="https://befreiungskriege.wordpress.com/details-of-the-bfk-2012-limited-edition-figure-project/" target="_blank">here</a> and were purchased back in 2013.<br />
Finally, the muskets are some spare parts from Eureka miniatures.<br />
<br />
All of them painted using Vallejo Acrylics and sepia wash.<br />
I still need to figure how to take some good pictures.<br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Soult was a son of a notary. Had a good
education that ensured him the rank of sergeant in the army of the revolution.
In 1799 was a General and in 1804 Marshal of the Empire.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

My friend Francesc and I refought the small batlle of Sahagun. We used Sharp Practice with 3 three groups of Elite British Hussars (the 15th) against two groups of average french dragoons (8th dragoons) and one group of poor chasseurs a cheval (the auxiliary chasseurs).</div>
We supposed appaling weather conditions which basically allowed the british to get really close to the french.<br />
The affaire was really close to the historical battle with the chasseurs fliing after the first charge and the halted dragoons shoting his carbines before receiving the charge.<br />
At the end, a british victory (congratulations Francesc) but hard fought by the 8th dragoons.<br />
<br />
NOTE: After watching frozen, my daughters put a troll in a balcony...lovelly ladies.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The “Corps d’Observation des Pyrennés
Orientales” under Duhesme which entered Catalonia on February 1808, included
several Italian troops. De <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">11<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
company of foot artillery</b> (3 officers and 73 men) and a company of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Italian Guard artillery train</b> (2
officers and 59 men) composed the Italian artillery, included in this corps
within division Lechi. More artillery would follow under Saint-Cyr corps in
1809: 9<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> company artillery on foot, 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> company horse
artillery, and 3<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">rd</span></sup> and 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> artillery train companies. The
Italian foot artillery fought in all the sieges that occurred in Catalonia: the
three of Girona (1808-1809), Rosas (1808), Hostalric (1810), and Tarragona (1811)
and in some battles as Molins de Rei (1808) or at the ambush of el Bruc
(6/6/1808) were the 11<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> company was present with a section of 2
4pdrs. During the withdrawal to Barcelona from El Bruc one of the 4pdr was lost
in the Llobregat while crossing the river.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">THE MINIATURES<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are eyewitness accounts of the Neapolitan
troops in Catalonia wearing its 1807 uniforms so I think that the Italian
artillery were, at the time of their arrival in Catalonia, still wearing the
old uniforms. In addition, the line artillery train was not created until 1809
so at the time when Duhesme’s troops entered Catalonia the only artillery train
available was that of the Royal Guard.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For the artillerymen, I used Eureka miniatures French
revolutionary artillery in regulation uniforms (superb miniatures) and for the
mounted soldier of the train; I made a conversion between a polish lancer and a
British artillery train driver (Front Rank miniatures). I know that the
troopers wore high boots but I am not so good making conversions and using
green stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The gun (a 12 pdr) and equipment are from Front
Rank and as the Italian artillery were painted dark grey, they will be used for
my Spanish army as well (the driver is not glued).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Aly Morrison, of Warhammer and Rogue Trader fame is preparin a new line of historical miniatures that will be manufactured by <a href="http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=20">Great War miniatures</a>.<br />
<br />
The new range maybe will be called Potemkin Wars and of course will depict Russian troops from 1786 to 1796. Here, I post three greens: Two russian and one swede.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjys-Ec0ZkcBhUwakuU6WPQxpXO31KxtehWMLeZTJJ7-htsSwjgs-YG2xShL9AJiKAHFcQHtCJEsIh8hZj4uxsG_yxstSc4JoyNhoDxw77o9ENlV9rpFdgjxRIB0OSXiGEdMVjOf03lr9Ba/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjys-Ec0ZkcBhUwakuU6WPQxpXO31KxtehWMLeZTJJ7-htsSwjgs-YG2xShL9AJiKAHFcQHtCJEsIh8hZj4uxsG_yxstSc4JoyNhoDxw77o9ENlV9rpFdgjxRIB0OSXiGEdMVjOf03lr9Ba/s320/index.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Well, that's a dream come true. One of my favourite periods is the French Revolutionary wars and the years after the Old Regime and the Napoleonic wars, with all the differences in uniforms and múltiple campaigs. Just think on the interesting campaigns where they fought:<br />
<br />
Russo-Swedish war (1788-1790).<br />
Russo-Turkish war (1787-1792). With Suvorov, the siege of Izmail and the Black sea cossack fleet.<br />
Russo-Persian war (1796), now I have an excuse to buy the superb Westfalià miniatures Persians.<br />
The Kosciuszko uprising (1794). This is my favourite with the poles fighting for their liberty (again).<br />
<br />
Anyway, I don't know from were I'll get time or Money to collect them but I feel that I need them. <br />

You can find them at <a href="http://war-bases.co.uk/BUILDINGS/MODULAR-28MM?product_id=184">warbases</a> and come as small lasercut modules that you can combine to form bigger structures. The idea is good because each module cost between 2 and 4 pounds and come with doors and Windows. I also bought arched doors (I think are more typical) and a couple of balconies. So for two single storey squared modules, 3 single storey rectangular, 2 two storey rectangular and one three storey squared module you get:<br />

Well, not a lot of houses, just 4 but shown from diferent points of view. After some fast and simple painting, I added plastic roof from plasticard and railroad modelling materials and... I'm quite happy with the results obtained:<br />

of PisaWhen I got married in 2009 I went to Pisa (apart from other places). <br />
Pisa is a beautifull place with the well known inclinated tower. But from a wargaming/militar history point of view, Pisa has some defensive constructions of interest like The Citadella Nuova that was started in 1440 and suffered heavy changes in 1798 when it was converted into a residencial palazzo.<br />

Even more interesting is the Torre Guelfa and the Citadella. The tower was built in 1406 during the first Florentine domination, almost destroyed in 1944 and reconstructed in 1956.<br />

By the way, the beautiful lady that appears in one photo is my wife who still loves me after 6 years of taking pictures of forts, castles, walls and baluards.Oriolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572795188036552113noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115128859981936225.post-82495583569481403832015-07-27T03:46:00.001-07:002015-07-27T03:46:07.871-07:002nd Battalions of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Garde de Paris<b>1808</b><br />
<br />
The second battalion of both 1st and 2nd regiments of the Garde de Paris formed within Dupond’s Corps, Barbou Division. The II/1st with 707men and the II/2nd with 747 men. They depart to Cadiz in May 25. The first battalions fought in northern Spain<br />
<br />
<b>June:</b> the two battalions fight at Alcolea (18/6) taking the bridge and suffering heavy casualties with 14 officers dead and wounded. The 21 of June at Andújar with 893 men.<br />
<br />
<b>July:</b> Battle of Bailen (19/7) with 10 officers dead and wounded and both battalions as prisoners. They ended as prisoners in Cabrera Island in very bad condition with low supply of food and water committing in some cases cannibalism.<br />
<br />
<b>Note about the uniforms</b>. There is some debate as if the uniforms where red and green (the old ones) or they had the new white uniforms (with green turnbacks for the 1st regiment and red turnbacks for the 2nd). As Francisco Vela points in his book “Bailen 1808” ed. Almena, We know for sure that they were dressed in white because Pedro Agustín Girón, Marques de las Amarillas, who fought them at Alcolea, tells in his memoirs “the French were dressed as my grenadiers” he was the coronel of the Provincial Grenadiers (whose uniform was white faced red)<br />

It resulted in two carlist battalions plus two squadrons and a small party of guerrilla against two isabellino line batallions, one FFL battalion and an artillery section. It was a complete destruction of the carlist brigade as the isabellino were waiting in a trully confortable way the arrival of the carlist while they were delivering volley after volley of musketry and cannon fire. By the end of tha game, the carlist cavalry reached an isabellino battalion...that fromed square in an admirable way resulting in the complete destruction of the troopers.<br />
<br />
Not a bad game but a little bit boring because I spent the whole game trying to cross the battlefield under heavy lead rain. Francesc did a good job really professional. ow, I'm painting a carlist mountain gun to give the liberals a little of their own medicine.<br />

Carlist BrigadeWell, at last I can show you a complete Carlist Brigade. Two infantry battalions, two cavalry squadrons and command. Now I can play a small battle with my previous posted Isabellino brigade.<br />
There are not alot of miniatures but family and work are strong time consumers.<br />

Thanks for looking<br />

They are painted as Navarrese lancers in green an red and will form two squadrons (4 figures each). They are equiped with lances.<br />
Of course Perry miniatures, vallejo paints, the army painter products and Adolfo Ramos lance pennants.<br />

They are uniformed in a generic fashion with blue beretts, red trousers and grey greatcoats. Since I'm planning to use them for the Gomez expedition, they are "Batallones Castellanos" so all the infantry that was not basque, navarrese, aragonese, catalan or valencian.<br />
Of course the miniatures are Perry, painted with vallejo colours and The Army painter products. The "original" item are the flags. My flag supplier (Adolfo Ramos) doesn't have Castillian flags. It's funny because thereare a lot of different flags but apparently no one knows for sure how was the flag carried in Batallones Castellanos. Since it seems that the common flag design for carlist infantry was the red St. Andrews Cross and the provincial shield of each region, I bought a generic Adolfo Ramos flag and I my brother Robert helped with the design. <br />
<br />
My brother happens to be and arquitect who knows a lot of photoshop and these kind of things so It was really easy for him to create the wonderfull flags that I present here. <br />
<br />
By the way, my brother is now trying to stablish himself in the UK so if you need and arquitect or some type of design work you can contact <a href="http://www.robertpou.co.uk/">him here</a>. I'm sure he will do a good job.<br />
He also was the illustrator of the map that can be found in my <a href="http://tocdesomatent.blogspot.com.es/search/label/Scenario">"download free scenario Baranda 1836"</a> so yes, he also can work in the wargame industry.<br />

Not clear if they fought at Castalla. It seems that in April passed to British service.<br />

The miniatures are French Chasseurs á Cheval from Sash and Saber. They are not bad miniatures and are really cheap. They are closer to 25mm than to 28mm. My only complaint is the swords that are too thick looking like a club.<br />
The paints are Vallejo and the shadows and varnish from The Army Painter.<br />

La Torre Blava de Vilanova i la Geltrú.To begin with this series of post, I'll show you this small tower that can be found in Vilanova i la Geltrú. For those of you from outside Spain, Vilanova is a coastal village between Barcelona and Tarragona. It has a good harbour that with those of Palamós (in Girona), Sant Carles de la Ràpita near the Ebro Delta (in Tarragona) and of course Tarragona and Barcelona are the big ones in Catalonia.<br />
During the Third Carlist War (1872-1876) people were scared of possible seaborn carlist raids and several defense towers were built. This one, called La Torre Blava (Blue Tower) or Torre de Ribes Roges is still present and fully reconstructed. It has several rifle pits on its top and i seems to have three different flors. During the Spanish Civil War was used as a watch tower in a defense line of bunkers and trenches.<br />
It was never attacked. <br />

My wife and family are now used to it and know that if we go on vacation we will visit some kind of "inspiration for wargaming shrine". When I got married, my wife and I went to Corsica and apart from mountains, beach and monuments, of course we went to the house were Napoleon was born in Ajaccio and the house were he was living prior to the failed invasion of Sardinia (in Bonifacio) my wife at one point asked me: "Ok, what's wrong between you and Napoleon?". I think that was at that point that she realised the truth behind being married to a wargamer.<br />
I have been lucky enough to have visited some deifferent countries and to live in a place where military heritage from the iberians to the XX century can be found almost everywhere and I have been collecting pictures of all this places. I think that I will post them here to share this trully sources of inspiration with all of you.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy them.Oriolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12572795188036552113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115128859981936225.post-32409122775111485572013-07-11T02:58:00.000-07:002013-07-11T02:58:07.767-07:00Upgrading my forestSeveral months ago, I published a <a href="http://tocdesomatent.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/scenery-on-budged-ii-woods.html">post</a> explaining how to built cheap trees for wargames. One of the comments I received was something like: nice hula-hoop trees...Well you know, the kind of comments that move you to make things better. I decided to upgrade my trees so I bought a couple of bags of 30oz of woodland scenics polyfiber I glued the fibers onto my trees and I added some leaf effects. All glued with spray glue.<br />
Here I show you the before and the after. Good results with a relative small amount of work.<br />

Baranda 1836 First Carlist War.After a loong period of no blogging, no painting and no wargaming I'm back with a present to all the community. I'm posting a free wargame scenario for the First Carlist War. This is the first engagement in what was called the Gomez expedition so you can expect more scenarios comming soon. At one time I was willing to do some kind of scenario book but after seeing kingscarbine master work: "All honour is lost" I realized that I need to work really hard.<br />
I think that the orbat (specially the isabellino) is something original, never before published. If you play it and you like it please let me know and if you find something odd or some bad spelling please correct me.<br />
By the way, the map is brother's contribution and he is looking for job so if you work for a design company and know about a vacant...<br />
<br />
Here you have the scenario: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfez4o82rm68wg7/BARANDA%201836.pdf">Baranda 1836</a><br />
