28mm Cowboy additions

 At the Penkridge tabletop sale I picked up some 28mm metal castings of Old West figures to add to my Dead Man's Hand posses.  Most are from Wargames Foundry, but not sure on the manufacturer for a couple of them.

Shotgun toting dudes in long coats.

Old timer with what looks to be a muzzle loading musket and a pistol toting desperado, both in long coats.

Pistol armed cowboy in chaps and a Billy the Kid wannabe toting a pistol.

Repeating rifleman sharpshooter and rawhide clad ranger, armed with what appears to be a muzzle loading musket.

Rather well dressed gunslinger/card sharp type - could be a lawman, but tin star not on show.

Warbases 2 storey building - I'm going to have to do a sign with "Ma's Flophouse" or similar.

Another Warbases building, this time a bank with barred windows and stone built sides and rear.

I'll probably add another couple of buildings, maybe a saloon and a general stores, enough to do a street intersection on a 3ft square table.  With some scatter terrain (carts, boxes and crates, hitching posts, etc.) should do quite nicely for pick-up games of DMH.  I might even work on a Zombicide Undead or Alive version using actual terrain.

Thanks for looking.

Mid-18th Cent 20mm Eye Candy

 I had the opportunity to play Will last Thursday using his (mostly) Strelets figures and Black Powder 2 rules.  I only took photos in the early stages of the game as we soon lost ourselves in the hectic to and fro of cavalry actions.

The scenario involved the British infantry advancing in column along a road and an attempted ambush by French cavalry, followed up by infantry.  The British cavalry arrived in the nick of time and deployed to meet the oncoming French (out of shot to the right in the photo below).

Lots of lovely cavalry.

Hessians, I think, masquerading as Dutch for this scenario.

British and Hessian infantry columns plodding along the road axis.

The dastardly French cavalry ready to dash for death or glory.

The British slowly start to shake out into line using the hedgerows as cover where possible.

British horse doing their thing.

The bally French coming to meet them.

The cavalry fight was fun, with honours more or less even on both sides combat losses, but as the French outnumbered the British, this wasn't particularly good outcome.  The complete battle was too big to play to a conclusion in an evening, but the cavalry action made up for it.  Thanks to Will for bringing along his lovely troops.

Thanks for looking.
