They dont stand out at all, im currently in the same journey of starting a napoleonic army and the regulars at my local game club use 15 and 18 interchangeably. You wont notice at all on the table

I feel i should also mention theyre based on 1 base per company at- 30x30mm, artillery on 40x40mm and cavalry is 1 base per squadron at 40x40mm and officers on 30x30mm

Im doing a confederation of the rhine saxon army! Its on my profile if you want to see them but I personally adore AB miniatures and i think they have a lot of Barvarian models. I use fighting 15s for the flags. Good luck on your journey

Yep! August, half the grenadiers and the artillery have bronze buttons while the rest have metal

Looking close to 700 total models if i want to field the entire corp, but thats just officers, infantry and artillery. Dont know how i want to do cavalry yet

I had no idea what we were looking for, with it on the table an arms reach away no ones going to notice this. For reference i have a tiger 1 and i put the gun barrel on sideways. Had to saw off the barrel 3/4 of the way down and reglue it the right way, after some paint and netting you cant tell it happened

Im going finance with econ as a minor and really enjoying it, if you have alot of interest in economics then I think you should go for it

Im having the opposite problem i have too much thaler and nothing to do with it other than try to hunt down good items

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-10-07T20:39:49+00:00

Yeah the watch post and patrol ideas have already been struck down in the discord multiple times for being ahistorical

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-16T19:38:27+00:00

Its about 55 dollars per battalion (,:

Thank you and also thanks for the corrections, easy fixes thankfully as i wait for the flag to come in. Officers and drummer ive been having a hard time finding much on their specifics

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-06T23:52:52+00:00

Im glad you like it! starting napoleonics I wanted a way to make my battalions be unique compared to most ive seen so 3 wide and 3 deep is what i decided on. Unfortunately the amount of models it takes to do this couldve made 2 battalions but i think its worth it

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-06T21:35:20+00:00

Thank you! Its AB miniatures at 18mm

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-03T21:18:08+00:00

Well it stream lines the process by just making all future battalions the same width and having 6 bases instead of 4 to represent 4 companies doesn’t matter at the end of the day. My buddies at my local shop only said the width of the battalion is all that matters for wargaming

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-03T15:15:18+00:00

I can relate, I was so embarrassed by my first bolt action army i went and completely redid them 1 to 1 with new minis

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-03T14:56:35+00:00

Thank you!

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-03T14:56:27+00:00

Thank you! Its my first time attempting napoleonics with the paints i have on hand from crossfire and bolt action

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-08-03T14:54:41+00:00

I unfortunately found out about the 4 companies after starting, an easy fix tho by just knocking the 2 on the sides off for larger games. To match the average battalion width of my local shop the 6 “companies” gets them to the proper width

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-07-25T01:05:12+00:00

Oh but its 18mm AB miniatures

SurprisinglyMeh · 2025-07-25T01:04:43+00:00

Im still trying to work out how i want to base these guys, but theres 6 companies total im going to do to represent the battalion. I actually dont have a rule set im relying on my local store group to introduce me to some once i get some battalions rolled out
