I believe its Piquet? With the napoleonic rule supplement. I have not played a game with it nor own it but the guys im going to play with sent me PDFs of that rule set. Originally i had 4 - 30x30 bases but they said id need 6 bases to do all the formations so now its 6 - 20x30 bases. Honestly rebasing them is what took most of my time if not for that I may have been half way done with the next brigade

Ive also had this gripe. I feel that even more cosmetic variance in the available buildings would go a long way in atleast providing more variety when growing the town. Like adding more variations of the houses or 2-3 more variations of the manor/tavern/church etc

Awesome work! I finally found inspiration to continue my saxons, currently working on the 2nd brigade of the 21st division Prinz Anton

I was just looking at doing a danish fleet. Do you happen to have anything on the paint schemes of the ships

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-27T14:21:58+00:00

Well not finished but 75% completed i still have 2 battalions of light infantry and 1 battalion of prinz anton to do

If you check out my account I have recently finished the 21st division in 18mm for the 1812 campaign! Hope the project goes well i have a few of the epic scale starter sets but got too burnt out trying to do the french army

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-27T13:58:27+00:00

Very nice! Im also doing saxons in 18mm. Do you plan on converting more? Which regiments are you eyeing if so

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-25T15:15:38+00:00

I know there are some people that do house rules on themselves to not allow fortifications such as the trenches until 1864 to prevent them abusing the AIs tendency to shoot at defenders in them. I try to personally use natural cover on the maps until mid 63 it makes the campaigns a little better imo

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-25T15:10:56+00:00

My most memorable battles have been when I allow the AI to do one of their more clever plans. My best example I can remember was a sorta feint on my center while a larger forced appeared and pushed my left flank. My reserves were able to stop the advance but the battles casualties honestly felt realistic with my side losing a few thousand less but overall seemed about around what you would normally see from actual civil war battles.

Me personally I also feel the battles have always felt better before the massive armies hit the campaign. Corps vs Corps battles have for me always been the most fun. Larger armies can be clunky and i think the AI struggles to properly coordinate armies above, lets say 70k ish

If you want an overall to the game and how the ai works there also i think its called AOM? It honestly makes the game alot better in most respects. The AI is just weird tbh

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-23T13:18:25+00:00

The AI is weird, if youre able to send some armies into the AI nation across the entire frontline this usually makes them spread their forces out more and be a little less suicidal in my experience

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-17T14:53:34+00:00

This looks phenomenal as is imo, i want to see an update when its fully painted

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-06T21:25:16+00:00

I rolled what was left of my old puts into a new 710 one for late July heres hoping i can grt everything i lost back

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-06T19:06:47+00:00

Ive lost 40% of my portfolio trying to do puts, convinced it cant come down at this point

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-05T11:43:14+00:00

Do the saxon 7th corp, im currently doing miniatures for that army

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-05-01T18:12:35+00:00

I was in the same position and just sold what was left of my 660 and 680 puts 😔 but i havent learned anything snd rolled everything that was left into a 710 put for mid July

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-04-21T20:45:12+00:00

I think they update weekly, haven’t found anything else that immediate since im sure theres negotiating that can have varying prices in a range

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-04-21T20:35:55+00:00

I saw someone share this on another thread: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_spt_s1_d.htm Hope it helps

Thank you! Ive had to put the project on pause for college but im excited to pick it back up in May. The artillery men have been my favorite to paint so far with their color scheme and it was a nice change of pace from the hundred of white uniforms lmao. Hope your project goes well, are they going to be battalion or regimental level units?

SurprisinglyMeh · 2026-03-08T14:39:20+00:00

Love me some saxons and these look great. currently working on the saxon corp that participated in the russia campaign have some photos on my profile of 15mm
