A small update from Brigade Chemineau

Horse Artillery lining up their sights

So I decided to give a little update on Brigade Chemineau's progress on the week. I know it has been slow going but I have not stopped.

Above is the one Horse Artillery from my portion of the army. Fully finished and ready to go! Hooray!

The Legere are almost finished

And here we have my slow moving Legere. Believe me when I tell you I have others I am working on and not just these guys. But I have a question for you all. As you can see there is one base of six men missing still. That is because I am at an impasse and could use a little feedback.

Grenadiers or Voltigeurs?

This fourth base is typically a Grenadier base. But seeing as this is light infantry, it could also be a Voltigeur base. So I am asking you, the reader of this post, what you would like to see? Above is a picture of the two. So your feedback would be appreciated!

If the only difference is the colours I pray you remember this fact, no team has ever won the World Cup dressed in green.

If you are only going to do one or the other I would go for the Grenadiers.

Been a complete Philistine about these period I'm going to say Voltigeurs just because I like the colour of the 'bobble'!

About THE GUNS OF APRIL

We are a group of wargaming friends who have decided to work on an historical wargaming project each year for the great wargaming convention - AdeptiCon.

For AdeptiCon 2016, we'll be working on a massive Battle of Kursk game. Stay tuned for details of other possible events too.

Sadly, due to real-life circumstances, we had to cancel our AdeptiCon 2015 game.

For AdeptiCon 2014, we put on a smaller, but quite colorful, series of skirmish games set in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1800-01. Based on tales of Napoleon's expedition to the Nile Delta, and the uncovering of the Rosetta Stone. Again, fun was had : )

For Adepticon 2013 we played another "what if?" game based on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863. It was also a great deal of fun!

For AdeptiCon 2012, we played out a "what if?" scenario for the Battle of Salamanca, 1812, at it was a lot of fun.
