2nd Battalion of the 2nd West Prussian Infantry Regiment - finished unit

 The second unit completed for my Napoleonic Prussian Army is the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd West Prussian Infantry Regiment.

Italian Allied Light Cavalry - finished unit

 The lack of cavalry was a constant problem for my Republican Roman army during the games. Last year I managed to paint some Roman Equites medium cavalry, but according to the army list it is compulsory to have light cavalry too. So the light cavalry was always installed by an another player. But this time I could paint my very own light cavalry contingent.

Late Napoleonic Prussians - New project announcement

 As a new wargame project I started to collect a Prussian Army for the late Napoleonic period (1813-15).

Ottoman tüfekçi - finished unit

For several years my Ottoman Army project was on hold and no additional units were painted. However in the last few months I decided to improve my Ottomans. At first two units of tüfekçi were finished.

Republican Roman Generals - Finished unit

Two more commanders of my slowly groving Republican Roman Army are ready to lead their troops.

Ottoman vs Habsburg encounter - battle report

Together with my friends we set up a table at the Wargamecon event in march. The event was a gathering for all kind of wargamers from Hungary. A bunch of historical players were there too.

More Italian Allied Legionaries - Finished unit

 As a second part of my last blogpost I would like to present two more units of allied legionaries. These two are hastati and principes, therefore I finished a full allied legion (2 hastati, 2 principes and 1 triarii). Next I will paint a commander for the legion.

Italian Allied Legionaries - Finished unit

Nearly half of the Republican Roman troops consisted of allied warriors. There is not much information about them, but probably they were similarly equipped as their Roman comrades (maybe except for the allied cavalry).

Battle of Asculum - battle report

As I mentioned before in my posts, there is an annual historical wargaming event in Hungary, called Historikum, that I have participated in several times. This time on Historikum together with other wargamers we managed to set up a large Pyrrhic vs Roman table. The total ammount of figures on the table was 761 and from that 124 were painted by me. According to the setup, the game was the refight of the battle of Asculum 279 BC.

Equites - finished unit

In every battle that I fought so far with my Republican Roman army, the absence of Roman cavalry was a major issue I had to face. Therefore it was crucial to paint some units of cavalry. Now the first step is done to solve this problem: I painted three units of equites. More light cavalry are needed later on to represent the allied cavalry contingent.
