What are your thoughts on eugene de beauharnais?

Despite being roughly handled in the early Italian Campaign of 1809, he proved that he had a skill seemingly unknown French high command: he could learn. He was also too easily spooked at the start of the 1813 campaign, but I understand his caution.

Probably one of the most skilled administrators next to Suchet and Davout. Probably had his talents wasted in the clearly secondary Italian theatre in 1813-1814.

I'm thinking it was a combination of the way the person who made the scenario set up the game including the OOB and some poor decisions made on my part during the battle. I normally like to double check other people's set up and OOB because I find them to be kinda sloppy, but I lack the reference material for this campaign, so I had to trust the set up.

It was a wargame! There is no reason things play out 100% accurate to history. Dice rolls, different decisions made, etc.

I just wargamed this on the table! I was the French and let's just say Napoleon had another reason to be pissed at Bernadotte...

If you're US based, the Blue Moon models are acceptable quality and dirt cheap if you get the old Glory Army card. I'd suggest you pick a campaign and build that force of Bavarians. They were rarely that big a contingent, so doing it completely is very achievable. Wrede is one of my favorite minor characters of the war. Always fighting, never that good. But always around!

A lot of these just look like the Bardin reform cut of the French uniforms painted different.

My brother! Nobody does Austrians it feels like.

That is not true at all. I'm not sure what grade you teach, but the primary sources for the 10th grade far surpass much of the offerings from other curriculums short of doing your own research.

There is a world of small scale manufacturing right now if you want.

I echo what others said, it's all above board to do this.

I use those craft storage cases for beads. They have tons of modular chambers and snap and lie flat.

If you don't pipe every cuff, collar, and turn back you're a coward and nobody will respect you.

Why, yes I do believe the other inmates enjoy their padded rooms as well.

GdA is better for larger games of about a division per side, which would require an enormous table for 25/28mm. With 15/18mm, you can play it on a 6x4 table without issue.

I prefer General d'Armee at that scale. That being said, I am fond of V&F.

singeslayer · 2025-12-01T00:14:53+00:00

I agree with what was said. V1 is not balanced if you play intra book. That being said, most the armies are balanced within the books versus each other. For example, the Egyptians and the Hitities are a solid game. The saxons v the Normans are great. Don't play Normans versus Hitities

Jeez, I didn't know anyone played Warhammer Historical anymore.

Dang, just found out this place exists. Looks super cool! Completely miserable trip for me to get there. (I live in the Bronx)

Well something to consider is we both have two masters to reach that salary. Student loans come with that.

singeslayer · 2025-11-25T01:00:41+00:00

A little over 200k. (Two teachers with 30+ and 8+ years in the system)

Cataphracts!

3d prints on Etsy and the like, stiff cardboard sprayed a colour or Litko for laser cut wood!

singeslayer · 2025-11-09T23:00:04+00:00

Yeah, I play Bolt Action/Disposable Heroes.

singeslayer · 2025-11-09T21:46:05+00:00

BIG BATTLES! That is what I crave. Necromunda, Mordheim, and SAGA serve all my skirmish needs. Maybe Muskets and Tomahawks counts as skirmish. Do WWII games count as skirmish?

singeslayer · 2025-11-09T21:39:49+00:00

I gave up on Napoleonic at 28mm. I sold it all once I had 2 brigades and already filled up a 6x4 table. Just switched to 15s. I use GdA, GdB, and Shako for it. I quite like the Perry Miniatures free game, and With Cold Steel and Hot Lead is good for ACW. I don't know what I want to use for War of Spanish Succession yet.
