Hi everyone,
Pleased to meet you all. I'm a gamer who plays all sorts of different eras (Battletech, Warzone... such a child of the 80's/90's) etc, but I've loved Napoleonics since I was a kid. I've built French, Spanish and British forces in 6mm for a Peninsula campaign, with some Portugese to follow, but as I travel a lot for work, even V&B 3 inch bases are a little large to hike around, especially with terrains and boards etc.
So, 2mm caught my eye and I am now in the process of building Austrian, French and British armies, along with terrain etc to fit in a 'Travel Battle Box' that will accompany me on my travels. I'm using a mix of FMS minis as I have my own 3D printer and some Irregular miniatures to vary the looks of the troops. The plan is to use 'generic' look troops to fulfill the forces for a variety of different scenarios, with Marengo and Talavera being the first ones in the box. These are going to be based on the scenarios in the V&B book.
My painting isn't great, but it's on the way there.![]()
