The 1809 Austrian army for AOE/ V&F rules and in 20mm size.


Hello everybody. This army started to be built some 30 years ago and it suffered the usual time lapses for other projects. Even so in the two/three recent months I´ve added maybe half of what you can see in this video. Most of the miniatures are Esci, Italeri and Hat Industries. Also some Airfix AWI Grenadiers and a few cavalry were recruited for this army (probably mercenaries) but everything is plastic. In the future all different types of cavalry, infantry and artillery will be expanded until they reach the necessary numbers to play Wagram with AOE rules, that is 1 stand worth of 360 men and half of that for cavalry.

And here is the better YouTube version:

An early Napoleonic Spanish Army for AOE/ V&F rules and in 20mm size


This one has decades. It started to be built in the late 80s when there were no plastic Spanish in 20mm. So, plenty of AWI Airfix and Esci Prussians were converted as the basis along all available Esci cavalry sets. Only recently a few Italeri and Hat were added. In fact nowadays this kind of work mostly useless, particularly for the infantry, as both Emhar and Hat released several sets that makes a much better job.
