The Loose Association of Wargamers

Cheers Brendan, the biggest shame this year was missing catching up with you and the other reprobates here at Ayton I think

Today I've added some Royal Artillery units. This will be the last Burma stuff for a little while:

Rather nice they are. Lovely level of detail painting on that last picture of trucks. Though if I see 25lb on the table it means there's been a breakthrough and the enemy is in the gun-lines.i have to assume you use a very much larger table than I do.

As explained in the article, there are a lot of historical examples from Burma of defended 'boxes', with artillery firing over open sights. I did these (along with some 5.5s and 3.7-inch HAA Guns) for one such game.

That said, I do have a lot of artillery pieces for various nations, mostly because I inherited them from a mate. Most of them have never been on table and I've never even painted the regiment of Sexton Guns that I inherited, though a few have appeared in very large games. We did a game of the Battle of 's-Hertogenbosch a few years back that had a German artillery battalion holding the final objective at the end of a very long table. We also had an Angolan artillery battalion during one of our big Cold War games (they were in the middle of a defended box, with their backs to an impassable river - the deployment was packed to put it mildly).

I've finally finished off my Wellingtonic French Imperial Guard, so here's the artillery (cavalry to follow):

Are those whore's artillery painted Humbrol blue?

Of course they are! All blue uniforms were dyed Humbrol 25 from around 1700 to 1939.

Ah, humbrol blue. Sometime in the early dark ages, about 45 years ago, I was the wonder of the world and apple of my aunties eye because I airbrushed that very colour onto the body of an Airfix model - a 1905 Rolls Royce IIRC. Came out lovely it did.. the rest of the kit was a bit o a pig I recall.

Humbrol French Blue. No relation to actual blue for French uniforms what so ever

Lovely Artillery.
Is there anything left for you to paint. I think you’ve completed Napoleonics.
