I have started a new campaign for my Fescennia Napoleonic "imagi-nations" (in the style of one of those C.S. Grant V.F.S./Lorraine campaigns). The first battle has been fought, a rear guard action with the Arcadians trying to get away safely with their supply wagons and the Nemeans trying to prevent them doing so. Victory went to the Arcadians, for getting their supply wagons away just in time, although most of their troops were scattered in various directions, leaving the road open for the Nemeans to advance further. Figures are a mixture of Hinchliffe 25mm metal and Perry Miniatures hard plastic 28mm, except the supply wagons are Warfare Miniatures 25mm metal.
