I play a rule set called BBB (Bloody Big Battles) with 18mm figures. But have played Command & Colours Napoleonics too.

Ok which napoleonics though (asking cos I have a couple of games that could fit into that category and I might have to beat myself to death with a pick axe now).

My mind has been blown clean off learning Luke 'the Nuke' Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center Akehurst plays Napoleonics.
The two known tabletop war gamers in Parliament are James Cleverly (Dark Angels) and Luke Akehurst (Napoleonics) adding to my theory that you should keep us well away from the levers of power

I don’t understand why anyone is fixating on calling out “fascism” anyway. I mean it’s definitely *something* that will lead to trouble but maybe we don’t know the name for that yet, and should stay open minded. Makes me wonder what Mussolini’s early objectors called what he was doing. Napoleonics?

I feel like a bit of historical distance helps to soften the problems. Obviously Bronze age stuff or Napoleonics can still be a vehicle for a lot of racism in the miniatures and rules design, but it sidesteps the problem of "hey bud, why are your Waffen SS guys so lovingly and accurately painted?"

Can we have Earthborne Rangers / Trailblazer for Napoleonics, please? Yes? Thank you! #wargaming #rpg

Happy Friday, folks!

Took advantage of the recent @warlordgames.com’s Big Battalions 3-for-2 offer to add the next Prussian Landwehr Regiment to my 28mm Prussian forces for Ligny.

Have a great weekend and hope you can enjoy some hobby!

Huh. I guess I did think napoleonics were within your historical sphere of interest. Noted!

A 6mm game tonight of Napoleonics using an interesting twist on Strength and Honour. Not my idea I should add! 😂 It has some legs but lots and lots and lots of changes needed to get it right. This is not a project I’ll be working on so don’t go getting ideas!

First ever French Napoleonics painted. Two 24 man battalions. Based in 4s for big battles and Sharp Practice. #nerdlings #wargaming #spreadthelard

Me, shoving a handful of Space Marines through someone's doorway, then hurling 10mm white metal Napoleonics at them when they open it the rest of the way-

Thanks Henry. Now, back to painting the Vandyke edging on these f**King Napoleonics....

Very cool! Reminds me of a cardboard Napoleonics product published by GDW in the 70s called System 7, with large cardboard counters in national colours to represent formations.

Hobby update klaxon!! So, the homemade hedges are finished, as are some French Napoleonic officers (2 artillery, 1 Imperial Guard) and a 'tweaked' Treebeard... more to come 🙂

I’ve been so good for 12 months all I’ve purchased and painted are 18mm Napoleonics… but I’m beginning to cast glances at oathmark dwarves. I’m going to keep imagining Napoleon shouting at me to keep the mania away.

Tunstall's 'Naval Warfare....' the 1650-1815 volume.
It goes well into the anglo-dutch wars and how the three - sails, guns, tactics - have to evolve together. It is the foundation of the 'age of sail' as most remember it, usually the 7YW and Napoleonics.

Jfc, right?

It’s ridiculous how delighted I got when a book about *Typhus* in the Napoleonics came out. Someone was at least paying a little attention!

#FridayFreebie - don't think this has been put up before: 2x2 Napoleonics. Actually use domino-blanks to trial this, rather than figures. Worth downloading & having it to hand for some playtesting.

Calling this test batch done. First time I’ve painted 28mm Napoleonics in ages. Victrix figures, a pain to assemble but a decent final result. Next batch I’ll use a black undercoat, white primer was a mistake. #Victirx #Napoleonics
