Dear readers as the new year got already started I wanted to start with some eye candy to wish you a happy new year.
These  British miniatures for the Napoleonic wars are a painting job of mine, I hope you'll enjoy them.
There is going to be more Napoleonic British stuff for example British Cavalry ( Hussars,Scots Greys, Dragoons and the royal Dragoons the "Blues") to come.

Have a great new year, may all your good intents become true !

[Field of Glory] Santa's Tournament 2019 - Game 3

By
After a short night that followed the evening before, we met at the venue in the morning around 9:00 and I was bound to meet Frank with his List of Early Successor. These were the first succeeding kingdoms after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, which fought over supremacy of the territories once controlled by him. Some of the armies of the succeeding kingdoms have unique army lists, such as mine which is depicting the Seleucid kingdom from 206 BC onward. Frank's list is to be found in the army-list companion "Immortal Fire" and dated 92 BC. So, to be honest, his early successors are not that "early". Frank's Early Successors were composed of: 4 Troop-Commanders, who lead:  Javelinman : Light Foot, Javelin-Light Spear, Average, Unprotected, Undrilled, 6 Bases Thracian Cavalry : Cavalry, Light-Spear/Swordsman, Superior, Armored, Undrilled, 4 Bases Greek Hoplites : Heavy Foot, Offensive Spearman, Average, Protected, Drilled, 6 Bases Pha...

[Field of Glory] Santa's Tournament 2019 - Game 2, Part 2

By
..due to Christmas celebrations and preparations I was not able to finish the second part as fast as planned. I hope you all had a good time with your families and beloved ones so far and are now well enough rested to read on. The first part of the series can be found here . ... so, lets have a look at the other side of the table: My pikes were busy keeping the horseman to their front. After being close enough to charge, those horseman then had better insights concerning the stability of my ranks and two of them decided to charge, breaking through a unit of skirmishers. breaking through their own skirmishers, these horseman had bad times coming The result was, as expected, meagre. Both lost fragmentation and the unit on the right decided to loose a base as well during close-combat. In Field of Glory, mounted units which are fighting (more than 50%) steady foot troops have disengage during joint-action phase. But as the skirmishers which were broken trough during...

[Field of Glory] Santa's Tournament 2019 - Intro; Game 1 and 2

By
it's a draw, it's a draw, it's a draw As I started writing the entry, this year's Santa Tournament in Berlin came to an end just a few hours ago. Thus, and as the unofficial Field of Glory website in Germany is currently shut down and many old forums such as the tiny-soldiers dead, too, I decided to write some small reports on my battles and post the results here. Sadly I made that decision just after the first battle was over, and as there is no documentation of it, there won't be a report either. So you may or may not enjoy only 3 out of 4 of my struggles with dice, moral and alcohol. The tournament's secret motto and running gag was "it's a draw, it's a draw, it's a draw!". We shall get to that later. Ferdi organized the tournament and provided some space to sleep in his Berlin home close to the venue for our guests from abroad. He limited the armies allowed to 400 BC to 600 AD, without any Asian or American Lists. Thus a l...
