TBH I got em for SAGA but I dont want anyone to know. Don't worry your secret is safe here at Fanaticus. I am sure each of the 837 members will keep it quiet!

Also none of my photos look good. Combination of poor lighting and gormless photographer me thinks!

The Campaign has finished.The final winners being the Normans. I intend to replay the campaign as the shield walls of the Saxons and Vikings did not feel or play right. I am toying with re playing using "To the Strongest" Rules.

Both 2mm Russian and French armies now painted. I will post photos on my web page a little later.
Now ordering 2mm Austrian, Prussian and British Armies and the scenic pack from Irregular miniatures.
I have played a trial battle using DBN and a trial using the 2 by 2 rules. I have to say the 2 by 2 rules really play well with 2mm figures.

I intend to base two battalions of Infantry per base using DBN basing, two Regiments of Cavalry per base, two Guns for Foot artillery and one gun for horse artillery. Camps are already catered for as Irregular very kindly threw in a small village model and a country wayside Inn model!

As some of you know I have before dabbled in 2mm for ECW and HYW.
On a whim I purchased for the princely sum of £9.99 Irregular Miniatures 2mm Napoleonic Battle Pack. This gives a set of simple rules and two armies, you select protagonists from the list. I selected Russian and French.
I intend to fight them using the DBN rules.
Once painted up I will post pictures on my web page. If all goes well I intend to expand with Prussian, Austrian and British.
Currently I play DBN in the Peninsular British and French 20mm using a mixture of Airfix and Irregular figures.
I also enjoy Command and Colours Napoleonic but I only have the basic set and have not expanded it at all as it is quite a high cost factor.

Thanks for this guys. When my Current painting project is complete, Napoleonic Russian Army and Napoleonic French Army. I will be embarking on my Feudal adventure.
I expect to complete the Napoleonic's this week as both armies are in 2mm!

I am looking to fight some engagements set during Edward I's campaigns in Wales and Scotland.
I am not sure which armies I should use from the army lists of DBA 3.0 to represent the forces.

Fantastic work.
My figures never look like that! Rather they look in the words of my old RAF Station Warrant Officer
"Like a worn out sack, filled with Sh-t and tied up 'orrible in the middle!"
