Here's where the Travel Battle set is...
I also dug out these Hat Prussian Dragoons that I painted in 2006
They have stood the test of time quite well, but I wanted to change them to 5th Dragoner (Brandenburgisches, ‘Prinz Wilhelm von Preussen’). A quick going over of the facings and they were ready for mounting

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Have you bought an extension set for Travel battle? I'm intrigued by it but I wasn't sure if it was upgradable. (BTW, like the Prussian cavalry. Are those not Hussars though?)Ratch wrote:Here's where the Travel Battle set is...

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
The Battle Travel all came in the box, though I expect extra bases and parts may be bought - I haven't looked into it.
The Prussian cavalry are Dragoons

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
That Travel Battle set actually looks very good, Ratch and certainly the neat looking baseboard is preferable to gaming on a lumpy tablecloth! Does the set come with its own specific rule book or are you using rules from another source?

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Hi Shaun, it has its own rules that seem quite simple - even to me
The baseboards interlink, regardless of which direction they face its a clever concept

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Next up, three Battalions of Dutch Infantry. I'm using HäT 8025 Waterloo Dutch Infantry and HäT 8096 Netherlands Militia supplemented with two of the Waterloo1815 Mounted Officers that were recently completed.
Set 8025 are Flank companies, although the officer can be used with the centre companies and the shoulder rolls are not defined on the standing, firing figure, so this too can be used in the centre companies. Set 8096 is half Dutch and half Belgian (obviously I shall only use the Dutch figures here), which gives me enough figures for the three Battalions

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Ratch, I am always at awe with the battalions of souls you have in your workshop. Quite a learning experience for me as well.
Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Thanks for your interest
In front are the 2nd Battalion (1e Bataljon) of Netherlands Line Infantry with the 8th National Militia Battalion (Bataljon Nationale Militie No. 8) to the rear
and a few colours down the line the Militia

Fantastic work Ratch; such attention to detail in such large numbers is awesome!
Best wishes

Thanks iggie
To deal with the 8096 Belgian centre companies, I needed some Belgic caps for the 8025 flankers. I took them from the Airfix 01745 Waterloo British Infantry, stuck on with superglue gel

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
You are turning out some great figures, Ratch. Are you are regular wargamer or do you tend to dip in and out of it?

Hi Shaun, I've never wargamed, but I like painting the Napoleonic uniforms. I've never found wargaming rules that are easy to understand
