| SYW Prussian camp scene. The tent modules were made by Herb Gundt and the figures are from a variety of figure ranges. |

I have a large terrain set up on my 6ft by 12ft game table. I put villages and towns in each of the four corners of the table so that they do not interfere with a potential battle that I might want to have. For now, this is a display that I will leave up for about a month.
Here is a longer view of the game table:
The main village is located in the upper left corner. The Prussian camp is off-photo in the upper right corner. A smaller village and Austrian camp are in the lower right corner. The North German farmhouse is located in the lower left corner. I will be posting pictures of the other corner display areas over the next several days.
The above picture depicts my WAS Prussians and Austrians lined up on the table top. When I am working on building new armies, I like to set them up on the table so that I can watch the armies grow with each additional unit that comes off of my painting table. As the number of units grows, my enthusiasm level climbs, and seeing all of these new figures on the table inspire me to keep on with the War of Austrian Succession Project.
Probably 95% of the figures shown in the above picture are Minden Miniatures or Fife and Drum Miniatures.
That camp vignette is quite lovely. Like the items on the table especially.
ReplyDeleteHerb Gundt made all of the terrain pieces in the camp. He has some other officers’ tents that even have laundry draped over the side of the tent.

Lovely Austrian units and flags. The village looks very nicely too.
ReplyDeleteI really like that the Austrian flags are a little bit different than the standard yellow and white flags of the SYW. I’ve been getting my flags from Pete”s Flags through his eBay shop.

Very very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to post pics of your latest endeavour. Very inspiring. I am partial to the WAS with young Frederick making his presence felt for the first time, Maria Theresa hanging on at times by the skin of her teeth, the Jacobite uprising threatening the Hanoverian hold on the British throne, de Saxe providing a string of French successes which would not be matched until Napoleon, and then there are the campaigns in Italy, Nova Scotia, the Caribbean, India! What's not to like! Your doing a superb job, bravo!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the WAS was a little more compelling than the SYW for the reasons that you mention.
