Had a few of the lads around this week for a bit of a bash using the 25mm napoleonic armies. The armies are a good 40 years old, as I've posted before. They are brittle (lead rot), and were painted in the style we used in the 70s and 80s. However none of us is a rivet counter, and it's all about the chance to push figures around a table while enjoying good company. We had both. We fought the game using our standard Volley and Bayonet rules.
This battle is not an historical refight, but rather a 'situation' modelled on the Battle of Tamames on the Peninsular in 1809. As is usually my habit these days, this isn't a full blown AAR, but rather just a few selected photos.
The Spanish forces, a mic of M5, M4, and militia, troops occupy a steep ridge, ands the village of Tamames at its foot. The French are attacking. As I've already said, our game was not a refight.
The buildings are my own, scratch built after the style of Kevin Dallimore who featured similar buildings in Wargames Illustrated in the 1990s.
