Field bakery

I came across a picture of Dirk Langendijk which is known as a reliable source for depiction uniforms of the late 18th century period (including the FR period).

As I was looking for a theme for the Crisis show of November 2020 (now sadly cancelled) I thought this would be a good new addition to our FR wargame and a nice model to make.

The first picture is the plate by Langendijk, the second a bigger pic of the mobile ovens, the third a bigger pic of the tents with bakers.

I tried to model three mobile ovens and found suitable figures for it made by Black Hussar Miniatures. Although these are ment for the 7YW, I think they are suitable for my little Dutch FR project as the Dutch wore some older looking unifoms and I think a bakers outfit of the 7YW would not be out of place in the FR period.

Oh, and because we are Dutch, a bicycle appeares in some of the pictures; just a gimmick. Some like such additions, some not.

Late 15th, early 16th century militia

We have added two militia units; both units are a combination of plastic and metal perry 28mm figures

 

What to do when wargames shows are cancelled

As said in the title, what to do.

I am prparing some units and finished my interpretation of the 1793 Austrian Slavonisch-Croatisches freikorps for our French Revolutionary armies. 

The Arteria plate of this unit is;  

My intrerpretation is underneath, used figures are from Wargames Foundry, Russian 7YW pandours

And secondly we needed some new 28mm roads, so these are in preparation

Warcon Gent february 2020

Warcon Gent was again a very nice show. It turned out that more clubs were present as were a lot of traders. Also a group of boardgamers turned up this year for the first time.

It is each year a very friendly show with a bring and buy (we didn't ought anything there  although some pré ordered French Revolutionary figures (for Jans'collection) and 80 Years War for Peters one  were collected. Not as many as previous year but our lead mountain has already taken up to much space.

In our opninion there were a lot of great games played of which some pictures underneath.

We took our 15mm Siege of Maestricht with us which we already showed to the public at the last Crisis show. It got enough attention and favourable remarks from the public, so thanks for those who talked to us about the game, figures and rules. Hope to see you again.

So to the pictures of the show; as always just a quick tour as we have to man our table to get at least the impression that we play (and not just talk and talk).

La ligue des gentlemen Civilateurs with an ancient naval table; great to see.

Two great late medieval games wer on in the neighbourhoood of our table; one of the Les Marie-Louise des Flandres.

 The other one late medieval one was by the heavy brigade. As we like medieval games with all their splendor, we enjoyed these both games.

Pictures of other games of which we don't know the names of the presenting clubs; sorry for that.
As I said earlier, a lot of games weree very nice which the pictures underneath will show I think.

Pictures of our game we have kept to the last; of course we added some figures, new terrain pieces etc:
