Today myself and a good friend, Jeff Smith, got together and played a small game of Napoleonics. We have not played this period since the start of the year, so it was good to drag out the figures and game on. We played using the Fortune & Glory Napoleonic rules, developed by Andrew Parr. Jeff played the French and I the Austrians. We both had eight battalions of infantry each, but Jeff had the advantage of Artillery and I cavalry.
Jeff and I tended to do a fair bit of talking before we got the game going so we only had enough time to play five turns. However, I think if another turn was played Jeff would have broken through my centre and routed the Austrian Army (Me).
All the figures used in todays game were from the Elite Miniatures range and painted by our good friend Leroy Simpson.

Those figures paint up very well. A great looking collection of figures and terrain.
Thanks for sharing,

Very handsome collection! The Elite figures really have a distinct character, don't they? Nice to see the French in bicorn.
