25mm/28mm ACW REGIMENTAL FIRE AND FURY WARGAME

I hosted a wargame of Regimental Fire and Fury ACW rules last night. The figures were all 25mm/28mm from my collection including Dixon, Mark Fenlon, Foundry, Redoubt and Sash and Saber minis. The game involved five Union regiments and three guns attempting to push aside three Confederate regiments and two guns so that they could continue their advance against the flank of the main Confederate army which was notionally off the table in the distance. After some hard fighting the Confederates managed to weather the storm and were victorious. Here are some photos of the table I put together as well as some of the figures that took part in the game.

The sheep are wondering what all the fuss is about.

MORE SIKH WARS MINIS

All 25mm foundry figures. The guns are a mix of Foundry Sikh horse artillery guns and Hinchliffe French Napoleonic guns.

DAVID AND GOLIATH IN 25mm

These are Castaway Arts figures I painted some time ago. A nice unique vignette. You can just imagine what Goliath is thinking as he looks down on the cheeky kid with the slingshot.

ANZAC DAY 2011

Here are a couple of 54mm figures I made a few years ago as a tribute to the blokes who fought on the Kokoda Track in 1942. The figure on the left represents a typical militia man of the 39th Battalion. These blokes were citizen soldiers literally dropped in the way of the Japanese with minimal training and antique weaponry. Their job was to hang on and slow the Japanese advance until the experienced soldiers of the 2nd AIF, returning from Africa and the Middle East, could get to them. The figure on the right is a typical soldier of the 2nd AIF one of the battalions who trekked up the track in appalling conditions and reinforced the militia in a series of brutal battles with the advancing Japanese. We owe a lot to the actual blokes who did this and to all the other soldiers, sailors and air force personnel who served in all the wars Australia has been involved in over the years and are currently involved in. On this ANZAC day 2011 I hope that my small offering here goes some way towards commemorating their service.
