Walter Schnaffs game

[SimonC]

after somewhat of a hiatus from this game, Ray and I played yesterday. The draw for armies resulted in a largely infantry force. The Prussians with an impressive battery of 6 Krupp breechloaders. As the French I tried to clog the table with terrain and assemble on a position magnifique!









The Prussian has some terrible luck - with none of their assets arriving, and after a couple of brutal assaults the gallant French held on for an impressive victory !

Nice-looking game, chaps.

Who makes the figures?

[SimonC]

A mix of Freikorp and Minifigs

Very nice and shiny they are too!

That is a great looking game chaps. The grid is invisible too!

Excellent.

Excellent.

Just subtle dots with a dab of paint done before these mats with faint grid lines or cross-hairs became commercially available.

As for 'shiny' I still quite like gloss varnish for the C19th as it shows the uniform detail up well but I do know that this is a question of taste. The Prussians have been matted over but I think I may gloss them again!

[Colonel Kilgore]

I think shiny looks right for this period and style of figure.

I have taken to using Vallejo Satin varnish as it gives a subtle shiny finish which helps figures to stand out in poor light.
