Roberto's new Bavarians (with pics)

Roberto was so kind to send me the pics of some of his Front Rank Bavarians.


Here is the full squad, the bold Officer and a couple of Schuetzen with their Rifles.
A close-up on the drummer and 2 Light Infantrymen complete this gallery.
Again - thanks to Roberto for sharing...

A call to Arms!

Well, I've been posting quite a lot this week (and more pictures are coming, together with a battle report of our friday night Big Battle - 1200 Vs. 900 points) and have received and posted pics from some italian players. Now it's YOUR turn: this is a call for all readers of this blog and players of SDS to send me pics of their squads, so that we can share them here.
Don't be shy and send your pics to my address
sergio.laliscia@yahoo.com

Thank you in advance

The Old Guard is here!

The second Squad sent by Marco is his French Old Guard.
It is a super-Elite squad with the addition of a Dragoon (just 5 models!).
Here it is....
It is composed by an NCO, 3 Guardsmen and a Dragoon , for total cost of 401 points. Marco chose not to deploy an Officer (legal) counting on the Q2 of the Old Grognards....

Voilà the 3 Old Guard: Q2 C4 Musket, Fear

3 tanks on the battlefield (for 93 points each).

The NCO follows...




And finally the Dragoon, a mounted guest in this squad.
Good job Marco, and thank you for sharing!

Roberto's new Bavarians

Roberto from La Spezia published his Bavarian squad on the WASP (Wargame Spezia) website.
It's a really excellent job (faces details are astonishing!). Hope we'll see this squad fighting very soon (maybe in Arezzo Tournament on may 9th??).

Grazie Roberto

A French squad from Marco

Marco sent some pictures of a couple of his french squads. I'm very happy to post the first one of them here.

Here we go: a mixed Garde National + Cavalry + Line Infantry, with Officer, Drummer and Standard Bearer.

The full Squad...


The Command Group: Marco uses 2cm. square bases for his squads, with an excellent flocking on them (I always envy him for the way his grass stands upright, while mine goes down helplessly...).





And the 6 National Guards (I guess they are Perry plastics) that Marco uses as a "cannon fodder". 2 of these guys cost less than a "normal" infantryman, but they still have a musket!

A brief Gallery

As promised, here are some pics from the "latest" releases of my working bench (some of them are not yet finished, but this morning the sun was shining so brightly I could not resist..).
Let's start with some cavalry: 2 French Hussars (3rd reg.), an elite Dragoon and an elite Chasseur.
(OK, I have to flock the bases...)

Cuirassiers and Carabiniers (Perry plastic)... a bit overexposed I think.










My new ITALIAN squad (2nd Line rgt., Front Rank miniatures) with 1 Light Infantryman in the front line.... and my British Marines (Steve Barber Models), soon to be joined by some ship's crew for a landing.

Let's give 'em a face!

I found some pictures from the SDS day in Arezzo and would like to show here the guys who are helping me a lot with the Tournament Rules for my game.
We had 2 tables in Alessandro's "taverna"...

On the left, Filippo deploying his squad (with my hands in the foreground).





Marco (twice Italian DBA Champion) thinking about his next move, with some of my Austrians in line formation...







And finally Alessandro (our host) playing against Max (sorry Max, no pics of you....)
