On This Day in Napoleonic History — The Capitulation of StettinOn October 29, 1806, during Napoleon’s lightning-fast campaign against Prussia, French Brigadier General Antoine Lasalle achieved one of the most audacious feats of the Napoleonic Wars. With little more than a handful of hussars at his disposal, Lasalle bluffed the surrender of the formidable Prussian fortress of Stettin, convincing its garrison that a much larger French force was at hand. The result was extraordinary: a fortified town surrendered along with approximately 5,300 Prussian soldiers, hundreds of guns, and substantial military stores, without a major battle. Coming just days after Prussia’s catastrophic defeat at Jena and Auerstedt, the capitulation of Stettin perfectly captured the shock, confusion, and demoralization that had overtaken the Prussian army—and cemented Lasalle’s reputation as one of Napoleon’s most daring cavalry commanders.
I thought those were war Ompas Loompas from the thumbnail
Previous thread, forgot to link: >>98832698>>98832698
>>98896637Are hussars incapable of not striking a zesty pose.
>>98896790Isn't that the point of hussars?
>>98896878Yeah being hot shit is in their job description.
>>98896672>Oompa Loompa Doopity Dapoleon>Men wore funny hats in the age of Napoleon
What's the most fun rank & flank style wargame? Ideally but not necessarily one suited for the late medieval or renaissance era.
>>98897083Then what era, jackass? >HUURRR WHAS THE MOST FUN GAME??
>>98897121>Ideally but not necessarily one suited for the late medieval or renaissance era.
>>98897301Suck my uncircumcised cock
>>98897402Aight whip it out
What is everyone favorite Napoleonic era campaign?
>>98897856Probably the Trafalgar campaign, but I'm an age of sail nut. The land stuff isn't as interesting to me.
>>98896627Who makes these?
>>98898154Bong detected. Trafalgar isn't even the most interesting naval affair in the age of Napoleon
>>98899169Name a single naval battle that doesn't involve the Bongs that's relevant or interesting.>no no no but this small naval skirmish between Swedish and Russian galleys saw 400 men on both sides!!1!
>>98899180>*teleports behind you* nothin' personal... kid
>>98899180LepantoSalamisActiumMidwayTsushimaShall I continue?
>>98899190I think he meant for Napoleonics specifically
>>98899190We're talking Napoleonics you tard.
>>98899184This scenario is terrifying to me. Imagine you're stuck on this little platform, it can sink, it is disabled and cannot move, there is no where to run, you're surrounded on all sides by argry armed men, they smell like fish oil and chocolate milk, they're clambering up all sides, they're speaking gibberish, but you know they want to drive an axe into your chest very badly.
>>98898154YOU THINK YOURE SO GREAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE BOATS!
>>988978561812 campaign. Call me basic, but I have a soft spot for Borodino
>>98899180It's not napoleonic but the Straits of Salamis was cool as hell
Did testprints and a quick coat of paint on the some of the WW1 Italians I've been sculpting on a commission.
>>98900444Hello anon, great to see your progress since your first renders. Do you have any training or education or are you completely self-taught?
>>98900444Its not bad, I like the one in the middle the most. The officer has kinda unusual pose and I feel like proportions there are wonky.Good job anon, how much do you take for commisions ?
>>98900444they are way less derpy these days ;^) happy for you, i hope life's good
>>98897856Austro-Polish War
>>98897856The German campaign of 1813 was just kino, but my favorite is the french campaign in 1814. 1814 was a true master class showing us that Napoleon really was without equal. Napoleon absolutely clapping multiple nations all invading France at once, with an army 1/20th their size made up almost entirely of emergency drafted raw recruits, no cavalry, like no artillery. The imperial guard fighting tooth and nail day after day in the snow. Napoleon winning victory after victory against massive forces and had them literally fleeing at the news of him approaching.. eventually they realize they can win by going around him straight to Paris, his army was too small to stop all of them at once.>My enemies are many; my equals are none.
Plans for the Pillage campaign I mentioned last thread>The plan is to play out our own version of 1066, following the death of King Edward the Confessor, using a map>We have at least two people interested in playing Vikings, one in Normans, one in Saxons, and one undecided between the two>Fortunately, no one has shown interest in playing a people that would require us to do alternate history like the Rus. Closest we got is my preference for Carolingians, but I'm just gonna run Saxons.>For the campaign system, I'm going to yank the one from Greathelm, as it's appropriate for the tech level/society and easy to adapt>Will likely start the campaign early next year, once I'm less crazy busy and our current Frostgrave campaign has likely wrapped>I may try out writing batreps in the style of a medieval chronicler
some1 have PDF for:-Flames of War - Barbarossa - Forces on the Eastern Front 1939-41 (2026)-World War III Team Yankee - British (2026)
>>98903226Have you considered filming the battles?
>>98903226You need some flavor of celts.>>98903517I dont think they had cameras in 1066.
>>98900720Thanks, I'm self-taught and approach it mostly as a hobby, I learn a lot from looking at minis made by pro's. I've been making minis for about three years now and it's fun to see them slowly getting nicer. Still lots to learn tho. >>98900722Cheers, I dont ask a lot per mini, 50 euro per sculpt, as I feel my quality isn't there yet to ask a higher price and its mostly a hobby for me. >>98900758thanks Blud, regards to the cats and hope all is well.
>>98896790Some hussar units still teach that stance. In my country it was technically not kosher anymore (regimental differences being essentially erased from the manuals), but we considered it our duty to be zesty whenever possible.
>>98903226>Viking is the most popular choiceI fucking hate normies
>>98903517Videos are intrinsically evil, so no. >>98903763Were there a lot of celts doing stuff in Britain in1066? I haven't done a deep read yet.
>>98904953>Were there a lot of celts doing stuff in Britain in1066? I haven't done a deep read yet.Other than, you know, living there, not really.
I was looking at victrix caesars legionaries and i am getting pretty tempted to get them, but my knowledge of ancients is pretty weak so aside that set what else would i need in term of miniatures? would republican auxiliaries and cavalry work? What about rules and basing? i know for big battles smaller scales would be better but i want to get my father into the hobby to help with his mental health so 28mm would be the best option for him.
>>98903383Do yourself a favor an try battlegroup instead.
>>98906872Romans were the OG heavy infantry spammers, you can literally just go all in on legionaires.Auxilla are a good idea, there was a fuckton of them of all the flavors of the rainbow. Just dont go overboard, think 1:1 ratio of legionaires to auxilla.Rome never really figured out cavalry, feel free to skip it. I would just stock up on legionaires and then use whatever other kit you like as auxilia.
>>98906872>>98907153None of the Victrix auxilia are suited for the Caesarian kit. He can use the Republican cavalry kit tho.
>>98907162Yeah I worded it weirdly, by >any other kitI mean using celts or iberians or something.Getting these new Ceasareans and a box of Republican Legionaires gives you almost 100 minis, together with 2 commanders and more than needed subcommanders.You also get some velites and options to make triarii. Its honestly not a bad idea, you will have enough minis for at least two warbands in any skirmish level game like say Saga with options to spare
>>98907184>and options to make triariiOr I guess ever popular spear armed auxilia depending on how you build them.
