Gotta love Landwehr!
Craig
Dunedin
Just started (still digesting the rules) nothing on the painting table as yet but planning French 28mm Inf on 45mm bases. Going to use Perry miniatures so will use the bases that come with the plastics.
Just a side note to the chaps that are playing French 28mm. What are you using for artillery as there are no plastics avaliable for the French in eithier Victrix or Perrys?
Craig,
The guys in Welly are using Front Rank or Perry Metals, they are all very nice looking.
Tim
I had a browse on the Perrys website earlier. Very nice stuff. I imagine I will have to order some through them. They have some very nice command figures that may also go on my list.
Paul Goldstone
Wellington
28mm French Peninsula, using 45mm Perry bases (sigh - so many Dragoons to paint....)
Bede
Wellington
28mm French using Perry Plastic with a few metals. Basing using the Perry platic bases so 45mm x 40mm.
I'm waiting for Victrix plastic arty for the French before I get my guns!
Evan Palm. Nth
28mm & 15mm, both scales French & Dutch/Belgian armies. The 28mm is newish and the 15mm is over a long period. The 15mm armies are rebased as per the Lasalle rule book recommendations and the 28mm is on 4 x 4cm bases for infantry & 4.5 x 6 for cav -mainly because we started with black powder first.
What size bases are people using for artillery bases?
Craig,
Mine are 45mm wide, and 70mm deep, but I don't thing depth is very important.
Tim W
Roundie
Auckland
28mm front rank Peninsula Brits (infantry & cavalry) 50/50 basing (Artillery) 50/100
28mm Perry Waterloo French same basing as Brits
28mm Front rank Peninsula French 40/50 basing (selling once perry French are finished)
15mm Austrians (infantry) 40/20 (cavalry & artillery) 40/40 basing
I was just going to use the perry cavelry bases 45 x 60mm. Would artillery fit nicely on those? (sorry have got no artillery models to compare - do have a large order to perrys in the system...)
I have based mine on 50 wide and 60 deep. Thats quite tight and I have only used 2 or 3 gunners per base because of this.
Here is a pic of my French Artillery. They are based with 45mm BW for the frontage so they can consistent with my other Perry bases but the battery are based on one large base with the total frontage being the correct amount.
This gives a bit of flexibility with the crew placement and works fine as the battery is either limbered using a limber base or deployed in line.
Simon

Bryan, where do you play?
nowhere yet, I find it hard to make the thursday night club meetings as my wife is always out on a Thursday, sold some old minifigs?hotspur French figures to John A just prior to Christmas - just waiting for an order of Caradores to arrive then I will be all set for figures, about 70% painted so far with a scratchbuilt rocket battery (no limbers as yet) - Just picked up the LaSalle rules prior to Christmas but keen to get some games in at some stage :)
How do I get in contact with you? we do have games at other times at peoples homes.
you can message me on the FOW forum - same user name. If that doesn't work we'll try something else.
I also gave John A my business card
Got you details from the foW forum Bryan. I'll be in touch when i can organise a weekend or non thursday night game - any particular night suit better? It my be a couple of weeks away though!
Monday nights are best for me as that's my day off. I work on Sundays. Couple of weeks is good, I'm still painting & waiting for an order to turn up from Victrix.
