A new project?

A few days ago, a package arrived in the post.

It was no surprise, of course, since I ordered it myself. A 28mm MDF model of the Château d'Hougoumont, from Sarissa. The idea is this will be the nucleus of a new project, focusing on the fighting around the famous Château on the French left flank / Allied right flank at Waterloo.

I am not sure whether this project will ever be completed, but we have to start somewhere. The trigger probably was I gave away all my old 1/72 plastic Napoleonic figures. They sat unused in my storage for over 15 years. But a wargamer isn't a real wargamer without some Napoleonic figures in his collection, hence the new project.

Beneath the Lily Banners

2 weeks ago, July 1 to be precise, some of us played a game set in the 17 century. Sadly, I wasn't there due to exam grading still going on, but a battle report can be found here.

Here are some more pictures (courtesy of Wim VdB):
