...Thanks. I find these group projects interesting. <br /><br />If you followed my links, you saw that I tried to do something similar with our group in Texas. I did end up getting a couple people to contribute to that big game, but no one local was interested.<br /><br />My BAR brigades (4 Prussian, 4 Austrian, British, French, Saxon, Hanoverian, Brunswick--err-- "Hesse-Fedoran" and Dutch) have sadly not been on the table since then. <br /><br />The big units from Brunswick-Fedora, Saxony, Holland, and some of the Austrians are the big, 54+ figure units I built expressly for BAR. The Prussians and Austrians are combined from 24-figure units.<br /><br />And with a name like "Youngstrom" I have also owned a Swedish army. 15mm Napoleonic that I just sold this summer.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />EdEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772426090587107864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274428956232829688.post-78541267193961609462011-10-04T21:21:30.225-05:002011-10-04T21:21:30.225-05:00In 15mm we play Koenig Krieg, fighting the "W...In 15mm we play Koenig Krieg, fighting the "Wars of the Jumbled Alliances" in which case each player has a historical "accurate" command but the battles are complete fictional. We fought Waterloo for Example and the Prussian Civil War.<br />We would like to do something similiar with a BAR project, where each player paints up a historically "accurate" Brigade and having each player push thier own command.<br />However we are talking BAR with 70 figure Battalions.<br />We have a couple of players extremely interested and about four more somewhat interested. <br />The Swede's are a running joke, I write the Battle Reports and Push Swedes so they have never lost a battle. Including the Battle of Swedish Thermopylae. So it was only appropreate that I paint them up for this project two. I found the Swedish Official history (written in Swedish in 1740 what a pain in the butt to translate).<br />I suppose in the end I will also be painting up some Prussians, for the F&IW I have three French Battalions, a Marine Battalion and a Militia Battalion and on the British Side I have Two Battalions and some off ball companies Painted up.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012922359181658086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274428956232829688.post-84922792622901314842011-10-04T19:54:31.973-05:002011-10-04T19:54:31.973-05:00Very interesting.
