The New Encampment at Altefritzenburg




The Prussian Army wastes no time in setting up its encampment to the north of the town.



This morning great clouds of dust on the North Road announced that the war was coming to Altefritzenburg, much to the consternation of the citizenry.


Wagon train, escorted by Prussian Pioneers, travels down the road towards the town. You can see the Prussian camp in the background.
The field bakery is quickly set up and the bakers get to the task of baking 5,000 loaves of bread today.

Things are a little quieter in the tent city, which awaits the arrival of the main army. Already, the camp followers are arriving and getting ready to ply their trades. The feldpredigar is trying to nip that in the bud.

    What a treat it would be to game over such fantastic terrain.

    1. All I have to do is create a fighting in built up areas scenario. Yikes!

    1. A rather inviting target for some scurvy Croats, methinks. :)

  4. Have just revisited your blog after not looking in for a while. This set-up and the many pictures from the SYWA convention were a great pleasure to look through.

    Setting up a townscape 'just for the hell of it', then peopling it with figures? Pure wargaming whimsy and most inspiring.

    Best wishes, Keith Flint.

    1. Thank you Kieth. I will have to post a new thread showing off the new citizens of the town, recently painted.

  5. I couldn't enjoy anything more than I enjoy your terrain. The bread-baking piece is sheer perfection. Wish I could come by for a game some time!:D

    1. I wish that you can join us, Your Lordship, it would be an honour. :)

      You have a pretty nice game room too, if I recall correctly.
