More Crimean War

 



Above, a Russian Brigade. Skirmishers out front, 24 figures per battalion plus a Colonel. A Brigadier supervises. The new regime for my Crimean War games. It will work for Field of Battle and Battle Command too. 

I continue enthused with my Crimean War Project. Most of what I need is already done. Currently I'm providing limbers and teams for the artillery. I don't consider these essential but they are nice to have.


Above the British Horse Artillery. They are going to get another gun and limber and that's them done. Both guns and crews from Irregular.


Less flashy but ever reliable the British Royal Foot Artillery. Limbers by Minifigs as is one of the crews. The other is from Irregular Miniatures. Note the less formal dress. It is the sort of thing Ian Kay does so well.  These too will get another gun and limber.


Above and below various British Colonels and Brigadiers.



Various Russian Colonels and Brigadiers. 


All of the officers are from Dixon, Gladiator, Minifigs or Irregular.



A Russian Brigade, the component parts. Jagers to the fore. Minifigs figures.


Two Musket Battalions next. First Minifigs.


Each with a Colonel, below Irregular. 


The Brigade with the Brigadier commanding.



The is very much in line with Charge of the Light Brigade rules. I'm guessing it foreshadows Four Empire's requirements too.

Poor light for today's picks. It's the time of year. Anything else? Yes progress on Sieges, Sowars and Sepoys. I should be able to post something soon.
