Scenario No.10 has been added to the Free Wargames Scenarios for Horse and Musket Period page.

 More pictures from the Battle of Rindheim:

A view from behind the Arcadian line as the Nemean assault approaches.

In the foreground, the Nemean hussars retire under the 50% rule, having overrun the Nemean battery, while the respective light infantry units have also fallen back behind their supports.

One of the Nemean flanking columns appears on the battlefield: two line infantry regiments with their general and his ADC.

The Arcadian infantry open musketry fire all along the line. The red counter by the nearest Nemean column means it is "Unformed", owing to 10% losses or more in one turn.

The Nemean columns all charge up the steep hills to contact, urged on by generals and ADCs.

The central Arcadian unit (the 2nd Line) is attacked by three Nemean columns (Nordstadt and Saatkräheburg Musketier Regiments and Südprovinz Grenadier Regiment).

The Arcadian 8th Line Regiment defends against the Nemean Zaunkönigburg Musketier Regiment.

Arcadian heavy cavalry - the 4th Cavalry Regiment (Cuirassiers).

Officers have black crests on their helmets.

The 2nd Line Regiment is pushed back by the Nemean attackers, but in the foreground, the 3rd Line Regiment repulses the Tauchendorf Musketier Regiment.

The Erymanthian troops arrive on the field to support their Nemean allies: two infantry regiments followed by a light infantry regiment. Their commander and his ADC are in the foreground.

Fierce exchanges of musketry fire!

Fighting near Rindheim between the Nemean flanking column and the Arcadian reserve brigade.

The Nemeans have captured the central hill in the Arcadian main line. Behind them can be seen the Arcadian 2nd Line Regiment being conducted into captivity, it having surrendered after a very poor morale throw! The dice next to the Nemean regiments indicate the number of turns before they can make another charge.

The Arcadian 8th Line Regiment exchanges volleys with the Nemean Zaunkönigburg Musketier Regiment. The latter cannot charge again for three turns, as the die shows, and they are "Unformed" (red counter) and have just failed a Morale test (Black counter). 

The fighting along the hills continues, with the Arcadians bringing up reserves

to halt the Nemean breakthrough.

The Arcadian 2nd Grenadier Regiment fires on the approaching Erymanthian column. At the top left, the Arcadian 8th Line Regiment holds off the Erymanthian dragoon regiment.

The Erymanthians prepare to attack the Arcadians.

From across the river, an Erymanthian howitzer battery begins to shell the distant

Arcadians near Rindheim.

Another Erymanthian battery from across the river causes havoc amongst the

Arcadian 2nd Grenadier Regiment and 1st Line Regiment.

The Arcadian 6th Line Regiment halts the Nemean breakthrough with its volley firing.

The Nemean assault is brought to a standstill as the fighting descends into musketry exchanges.

The Erymanthian columns deploy and advance, although their dragoons made no headway against the Arcadian 8th Line Regiment on the hill!

The Nemean flanking column was beaten back by the Arcadian reserve brigade.

Here Arcadian light infantry are skirmishing with Nemean line infantry.

The Arcadian line has held, with Nemean infantry units falling back under the 50% rule.

The last volleys before the Nemeans had to abandon the central hill, owing to their losses.

Another battle from my Fescennia "Napoleonic imagi-nation" campaign: the Battle of Rindheim, 1820. The Nemeans, along with their Erymanthian allies, attempt to halt an Arcadian invasion. I fought the battle solo, given the present lockdowns, etc., and it ended in a draw, although the Arcadians had a slight advantage. Old School rules and style of terrain, all figures individually based (see my Fescennia page for more background to the campaign).

An aerial view of the battle, with the Arcadian force already in position. The river was impassable, hills were all steep, the bridge was, unbeknown to the Nemeans and Erymanthians, had been destroyed. The roads are new, bought from TimeCast, very easy to paint.

A view along the battlefield from behind the Arcadian position.

The Arcadian reserve at Rindheim: line infantry in white greatcoats, light infantry in blue greatcoats, with a regiment of cuirassiers, as well as generals with their ADCs. The infantry are 25mm Hinchliffe metal or 28mm Perry Miniatures hard plastic; the cavalry are Perry Miniatures.

A view along the Arcadian front line, line infantry and artillery on the hills, along with supports, light infantry forward in skirmish order.

Another view of the Arcadian front line, with the reserve brigade in the distance.

A close up of an Arcadian line infantry regiment (the 8th) with a 6pdr battery. All gunners and riflemen are mounted on larger bases then the line and light infantry.

Another Arcadian line infantry regiment (the 2nd), with the 1st Line in support behind. Each Arcadian line infantry regiment has different facings, reflected in their regimental standard.

The Nemean army lined up ready to assault the Arcadian front. Fusiliers in skirmish order ahead of columns of line infantry and grenadiers, with a battery of artillery and a regiment of hussars.

The view from the Arcadian line towards the Nemean force. All the infantry are 25mm Hinchliffe metal figures; the cavalry are Perry Miniatures 28mm hard plastic.

The Nemean advance begins, with the opposing light infantry units skirmishing with each other.

The Nemeans have crossed the stream; each side had brought their artillery into action, and the light infantry fight has continued, with severe losses on both sides!

A view from behind the Arcadian front as the Nemean columns advance.

The Nemean cavalry (the Kraheburg Husaren Regiment) charge the Arcadian No.1 Battery. From their initial deployment, the cavalry either had to go forward or stand and be shot to pieces. So they went forward, charged up the steep hill, the artillery rolled a miserable canister die, and the hussars overran the guns and killed the gunners! However, by that time they were down to 50%, so under the rules they had to retire from the battle. It was one of the view bright spots for the Nemeans!

More to follow!

A couple of items from my Petaudia campaign:

A mercenary light cavalry unit, the figures being Gripping Beast

25mm hard plastic Arab cavalry.

Three leader bases for the Principality of Strymonia.

Figures are Perry Miniatures 25mm hard plastic knights and 25mm Essex Miniatures metal spearmen.

 Some additional scenery for my Avrupan sci-fi campaign:

All the pieces are made from a variety of objects: plastic food boxes, tin can, plastic straw, plastic bottle top, plastic tubes, pins, plastic card, pump filter, plug covers, plastic-coated wire. I paint all the buildings for Avrupan in grey colours.

A destroyed building. The original was part of a plastic household air freshener.

A foliage item, made from plastic fish tank foliage, with cork boulders and sand and grit base.

And also an aircraft model:

The model is a ground attack VTOL-type which I bought years ago from Antenocitis, I do not think they still make it. The base is made from a plastic bottle top filled with sand for weight, covered in sand and grit, with some rocks and a piece of foliage. The upright is a rigid metal rod.
