Today's post might be a bit brief, but who knows. Up until a few days ago, I was engaged in a French bloggers painting competition, an equivalent of Curt's challenge, of sorts, but a bit more modest, with 13 contestants.<br />

It is now finished, but you can still visit it, and enjoy the eye candy. You can also vote for the bonus entries on the right panel, after having seen them.
Here is the link :<br />

I could't manage to reach my goal, having painted half of what I wanted, but then I only painted from the second half of the period, sooo, not that bad.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Curt, I've also entered this year's challenge, but with a very low goal, since I know I will be busy at that time of the year.<br />

Oh, by the way. For those who play Ancients with 15mm, don't forget Forged in battle's last kickstarter, already funded, about Rome and its ennemies, and you can also add the other references. Not bad.<br />

<br />
I finally managed to take some time to write something down. My new job takes a lot of time, and finds me knackered at the end of the day. However, I paint from time to time, and I've decided to continue my 10mm project. What you will get today is 2 regiments of Russian hussars: Kiev and Ingermanland. The minis are from Magister militum, because Pendraken don't do them, sadly. I've also added as an extra, two British heavy dragoons to represent Lord Scarlett.<br />

It is a very symbolic unit, well-know for their resilience at Inkermann.<br />

This brigade had three battalions, under General Bentick:<br />
3rd Bat, Grenadier Guards<br />
1st Bat, Coldstream Guards<br />
1st Bat, Scots Guards<br />
<br />
I used the Pendraken Guards, simply because they were easy to paint , in their greatcoats. Sadly, there was only one standard bearer, so I made one little conversion cutting the rifle from one of the guards to replace it with a pin. It should do the trick.<br />

Sorry about the surexposed pictures, but the light is a bit tricky today. Anyway, what you have here are 3 units of 3 bses each, which roughly equals to 2700 men, according to my rules. They would also be rated as Elite for morale purposes, equipped with rifles. As for special abilities, they would be steadfast, and would probably have the good fire discipline. Tough hombres, but not very numerous. For instance, a snigle Russian regiment would be 12 bases strong. And a Russian brigade has two such regiments...<br />

<br />
I'm finally back after quite a long time it seems. To be honest with you, I went through a phase where painting did'nt matter much to me, and blogging as well since it was all about painting and gaming. I hope my return will be more permanent, though it will be short since I will be going on a family holidays next week. At the moment, I'm with my parents, and my daughter, so I have a bit of time to paint.<br />
<br />
Quite a lot happened since my last post. I was offered a real teaching post, of which I have been dreaming for the past 4 years. Finally. The downside is I had to work more to get noticed and was therefore exhausted during the evenings.<br />
<br />
To get me remotivated, I started a new project, leaving aside the Ancients for a while. I wanted to play the wars of 19th Century Europe for quite some time. I've taken the bait, and I've started this new project, which I could call "The sun never sets". But I prefer the French title, based on the motto of the 3rd Chasseurs d'Afrique: " Tant qu'il en restera un!" ("As long as there is still one of us!", roughly).<br />

<br />
What is it about? Well, it simply is my own set of home rules to play those wars, intended to be easy to pick up, fast, brutal, and with enough chrome to enjoy. And the first step is: The Crimean war in 10mm. I've picked some army packs from Pendraken, and have started painting them. Hopefully I will have enough to play with rapidly.<br />

It's all Greek to me: 15mm Ancients<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First
of all, even though I didn't do much during the challenge, a huge thanks to Curt for organizing this. I
had misjudged the amount of work I had to do with my new job, and </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sadly </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">never found enough time to paint.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, I present you a lot of 15mm
Ancients for Art de la Guerre. First, 26 Romans from Essex and Old
Glory. The Roman mounted officer had been painted before and therefore
won't count. Amongst those 26, 22 are legionaries with their shields
handpainted. They can be used as allies, or rebellious Romans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Voici quelques
productions pour mes armees ADG, le tout en 15mm. Avec tout d'abord 26
legionnaires romains, Old GLory et Essex. Le but est de pouvoir en faire
des rebelles ou allies. L'officier monte a ete peint auparavant.</span></i></span> </span><br />

for Freedom against the monstruous Persians. Not a myth in a strict
sense, but the deed of these Spartans still echoes, and is <span class="s1">often a synonym of bravery, and a will to fight for their own ideas, </span>and
Freedom. In a way, it is a good story, and what is a myth: a great
story, with a morale (sometimes), and full of great deeds.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="s1"><span class="s1">I had pledged for the War and Empire kickstarter, and amongst the </span>packs,
there was the "Death of Leonidas". I just couldn't resist and had to
paint the minis. So here they are, Forged in battle 15mm <span class="s1">representing the Death of the Spartan king, with LBMS shields this </span>time. </span><span class="s1"><span class="s1">The dio will serve as a camp for my Art de la Guerre armies. These </span>minis were a joy to paint. the sculpting is great, Forged in Battle is now one of my favourite brand. </span><br />
<br />

Meet the IndiansAs you might have notived, I'm not very active on the blogging front. Well, new job, painting, daughter... Too many reasons for me not to be there. Anyway, tomorrow, I'll go to Oxford with a few friend from Central London to attend a one-day ADLG event. So far, we are 18 players! Yay!<br />
<br />
Also, if you look carefully on the left of your screen, you will see a Twitter widget. I have decided to post small news, not worthy enough to blog, so that you know what I'm doing wargaming wise. Feel free to follow.<br />

Right, back to our adventures. If you recall, our Carthaginians salesmen had succesfully expanded the trade in China, Britain, and Assyria. Now they had to compete with more ferocious people, Graeco-Indians! Under the command of Stephane Vermeesh, it would be a tough negociation. It was the same army I had faced in Montivilliers, and with catastrophic results. So I knew what to expect.<br />

A small corps of pikemen, an Indian ally and some Indian mercenaries. Lots of shooting and elephants. We had to act carefully.<br />

I decided to send my medium infantry in the center, in the brush, supported by the heavies on the right, to attack in the flank. Meanwhile, the light horse would try to delay two ennemy corps. Tough job, especially when facing bowmen, but...<br />
<br />
... I tell you Picard, luck is on my side! The Indian allies are unreliable, so I can move my light horse as I wish to, while Stephane tries to deploy in the brush to deny me the control of this central piece. <br />

I think Picard took control of the mounted wing, since I'm now seeing incredible stuff: 1 light horse is delaying 3 pikemen, while the rest is preparing some nasty surprises everywhere.<br />

Yes! Antoher succesfull negociation and we are ready to take over the retails in the region. Oh I think the board will be pleased with this. Apparently we are ranked amongst the best salesmen in the tournament, oh boy oh boy. My plan was simple, but it worked perfectly. Now Picard, you can't say anything, can you?<br />

Granted, thanks to my military genius, I managed to slow down 2 corps, and exterminate one of them. But this was possible because the allied corps had been unreliable for a turn. And to be honest, your heavy corps had been more or less useless, and could have been more useful. And why have you sacrificed so many medium infantry against the pikemen? You just had to deploy nore carefully in the brush to threaten them from the flank. Let's hope, you'll play carefully in your next game. We need to bring some good results to the board.<br />

Only two Assyrian corps were deployed. And only two of ours were too. Right. At least I knew Picard was in charge of the cavalry, and they were perfectly placed in ambush, ready to jump at their flank.<br />
<br />
And we stole the initiative! Meaning we would move first! So we " cheated" the opponent, making him believe our cavalry were in a flank attack, which failed to arrive. So that we would know then where and when Vader's attack would occur. We might earn a few turns that way. Meanwhile, the infatry moved as fast as possible to get into position, simply because... The ennemy infantry was unreliable!<br />

The flank attack was decisive, and combined with the infantry, it was devastating.<br />
Patrick had to send troups in bad going to slow down the slaughter. Where was his flank march?<br />

It finally arrived, but too late. I was about to lose, but the game was so intense that he made a couple of mistakes, with a confusion about his units, and then it was too late! The Assyrians broke, but I was 2 points away from breaking! Gosh! Such a battle! My plan was perfect! I had managed to attack with the best possible odds: 2.5/1!<br />
Am I a genius or what!<br />

But in truth? Come on, even a starfleet cadet could have done the same! Your plan was not as worthy as Hannibal! You had an ennemy unreliable corps right in front of you, who stayed that way for 3 turns! And the flank march didn't arrive until too late! You were lucky, that's all! No one can resist against such odds! Might I remind you that you were about to break? Had the flank march arrived sooner, you would have lost! Had the corps been reliable, you would have lost! Ah well. I suppose Starfleet needs some good news, sometimes. You're right, we can celebrate. Champagne and brie anyone?<br />

An AdlG batrepHello everyone.<br />
Last week , I had written my first batrep at Aniche. The battle had been conclusive and we Carthaginian merchants had conquered the Chinese market. Now, following on that success, we wanted to expand in Britain. It wouldn't be easy, obviously, since we would be facing... Jean-Louis Maistriaux and his Britto-Romans! Again! Remember, <a href="http://backtotheminis.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/art-de-la-guerre-in-montivilliers-part-4.html">I had already faced him there</a>.<br />

Honestly, no imagination at all. Brute force everywhere, with the cavalry strike force ready to everywhere. To sum it up, very Klingony. <br />

Our plan was much more subtle. The light horse would delay the <strike>Klingon fleet</strike> Britto-Roman left flank, hopefully finding some gaps to exploit. Should the ennemy move forward in numbers, a tactical retreat would then be ordered.<br />

At the same time, all of my infantry would surge forward to crush one of the ennemy infatry corps. The heavy infantry would also be able to face the cavalry. Great plan!<br />

Once again, it was a race against time. Our left flank had to crush the ennemy fast, or we would be crushed. Losses were rising up fast on both sides!<br />

The cavalry was now gone, but thanks to their sacrifice, we had managed to create a second line of heavy infantry, which couldn't be broken by cavalry.<br />
<br />
On the other side, some medium infantry were about to capture the ennemy camp, meaning we could win. But... Do you remember the annoying mediocre light horse?<br />

Yup! the managed to attack them in the flank, inflict some damages, and then kill the unit! Buggar!<br />
<br />Time was up, it was a draw, and a bloody one. Carthage had fared better than the Syracusan, and the Britto-Romans offered to create a joint-venture. Not too bad I'd say. What do you say Picard?<br />

Where do I begin? First, you over-exposed your light horse, meaning you lost too many of them too early. I know many of them were wearing red shirts, but you have to be more careful! Next, you had too many units in ambush and therefore you couldn't use them all, meaning you were outflanked by the cavalry... Should I continue? Honestly, why are you still in Starfleet, I wonder...</div>

<br />
I know I haven't been especially active on the blogging front. I'm really sorry about that. To compensate a bit, I've decided to enter Curt's challenge, once again, to try painting some more and blogging a bit. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I've organized an Art de la Guerre club competition, and we are 20 players so far. I'm really happy about that. Hopefully, everyone will enjoy the rules.<br />
<br />
But, for now, it's time for me to do a write-up of the games I played in a French tournament in mid-October. Be careful, it was with the V2 of the rules, not the V3. So some things might have changed. For this comp, I had chosen a favourite army of mine, the Carthaginians, with the Hannibal in Italy option. I didn't choose the great man himself, but one of his lieutenants, Doyoulikethepal.<br />
<br />
Here is the army composition. There was a special rule about command, meaning we had more command points to move.<br />
<br />
CiC : Doyoulikethepal - competent<br />
6 Medium Foot impact (veteran Gauls and Spanish)<br />
1 mediocre elephant<br />
3 javelin skirmishers <br />
1 javelinmen<br />
<br />
2iC Youowemepal - competent<br />
2 Elite heavy armoured spearmen (the veterans)<br />
2 Heavy footmen armoured impact (Campanians)<br />
4 Elite slingers (from the Balears)<br />
<br />
2iC Nomilktodaypal- competent<br />
6 Light horse with javelin<br />
1 Elite medium cavalry<br />
<br />
Carthage is often played in tournaments, but, most of the time, don't get very good results. It's a very tricky army to play, with no apparent strenghts (or not in enough quantity). I wanted to show people we could have fun with this army, and hopefully scare them a bit.<br />
<br />
First, let me introduce my advisor, Master of the Inventory and general salesman, Jean-Luc Picard, a veteran Gaul who chose to work with us.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And here we go. First round, our esteemed salesman, Doyoulikethepal, is sent to China to open more supermarkets. And he faced Bertrand Carnat and his Warring States Chinese. Tough army.<br />

<br />
The Chinese got the initiative and decided to attack our army in a mountain region. Did he want to stop me using my cavalry? Well, after all, he has some heavy tanks, sorry, chariots. Here is the battlefield:<br />
<br />

He deployed his <strike>tanks</strike> chariots on the left. He had some heavy infantry in each of his corps, some impetuous foot in the middle, and the cavalry on his right. He also had some firepower, thanks to his crossbowmen. Unfortunately for him, they were mediocre.<br />

Doyoulikethepal had a different idea in mind, and opted for a more original deployment, an almsot Gallic one.<br />

Then, the Carthaginians did their move. And the ambush was revealed: my 4 Elite slingers, in the steep hill. I knew the Chinese couldn't dislodge them. Skirmishers are the kings of the difficult terrain. My cavalry moved slowly, ready to jump at the ennemy's throat, from the flank.<br />

He tried to react, sending his cavalry forward, but iwas too late. My red light horses, after a crashing course on speed at Ferrari, were already past the flank<br />

Because the Chinese know they will be outflanked on both sides, they decide to charge, and launch everything at us!<br />

And with the light horse pillaging the camp, Victory is ours! Carthage had only suffered a few losses, nothing important, they were expendable mercenaries.<br />

Well number 1, you played well, but luck was on your side. Bertrand is a beginner and made some mistakes you ignominiously exploited. It's not very starfleety you know. Especially the one where he attacked your skirmishers in the hill where you had the advantage. I'd say you might have some Romulan blood. Hmm I think I understand Carthage a bit more now. Your plan wasn't extraordinary and the terrain was on your side. You played it safe lad. We'll see next game if you're so good as you say. Meanwhile, after the "Wham", I feel a bit giddy and I'd like to dance a bit.<br />

Finally!Finally! I'm blogging again! Work has been tense and I really didn't have the courage to paint during the evenings, much less so for blogging.<br />
<br />
Anyway. Now that the English version of Art de la guerre is out, I feel my motivation coming back. i want to play, paint, and blog again. Last week-end, I attented another tournament in Norther France, so expect some batreps soon. But for now, enjoy this final video, where I face the 2014 best Art de la guerre player.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Salut a tous! Me revoilà enfin sur la blogosphère</span>. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Mon boulot me crevait trop pour pouvoir faire quoi que ce soit d'utile pour notre communauté le soir. Mais maintenant que la V3 d'ADG est sortie, je me sens remotivé. Je devrais donc reposter plus fréquemment. J'ai eu l'occasion de participer le week-end dernier à un tournoi, et je posterai donc les rapoorts d'ici peu. En attendant, voici le dernier épisode de ma saga à Montivilliers, cette fois contre Patrick Tahon.</span><br />

It's been a busy a week, with the discovery of my new classes, the new but temporary timeschedule, the new colleagues... And the lessons I have to prepare obviously. I have therefore had no time to touch a brush.<br />
<br />
I have joined<a href="http://clint-anythingbutaone.blogspot.co.uk/"> Clint's Play by Blog</a> naval game temporarily, to keep me busy on the internet front.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Bonjour a tous. La semaine fut longue et tres occupee, du fait de mon nouveau travail. Je dois preparer mes cours, mais franchement, ca fait du bien.

<br />
Wargaming wise, I intend to play a bit before the mid-term holidays, because I'd like to enter an Art de la guerre tournament. Speaking of which, here is the cover for the very soon-to-be-released rules:<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>J'ai egalement l'intention de jouer a ADG pour m'entrainer en vue d'un tournoi. Voici a ce propos la couverture de la prochaine version a venir. </i></span><br />

Finally, even if I didn't paint a bit, I took some pictures of my last production batch: Iberian infantry for Ancient Spanish army. All minis are from Corvus Belli.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Et enfin, meme si je n'ai rien peint pour le moment, voici ce que j'avais termine recemment, des Iberes Corvus Belli, pour Art de la guerre: des fantassins moyens, une unite de javeliniers, et un general. </i></span><br />
<br />
First of, a unit of medium footmen. They can be rated as either impetuous or impact in Art de la guerre, depending on their training, and the period. It's a very useful unit, fast, hard-hitting. I just need to be careful about ennemy cavalry.<br />

Next, we have a unit of javelinmen. This unit is very interesting, because, once again, they're fast, they can shoot, evade, and are the nemesis of the elephants:<br />

And finally, one of the generals. Command is not really good within the army, not a lot of leadership points. Unless you take the Sertorian option.Sertorius was a very good Roman general who rebelled against Sylla's domination.<br />

Today's special is all about Romans. indeed, I had started some Old Glory and Essex for an Art de la guerre project. They're now well on their way to completion. I'd like to use them for a game on Monday, we'll see, we'll see. In the mean time, I'm getting ready for the coming schoolyear which is about to start. Dear me. For the first time in three years, I'll be finally in front of a class again... I hope I'm no too rusty.<br />

I'm still on holidays, for a few more days, and so I try to paint as much as possible before going back to work. This coming Monday, I have planned a game of Art de la Guerre, and I have chosen an Iberian army. I need to paint some figures for the game and I 've started on those Corvus Belli. Hopefully they will be done by Monday.<br />

On a side note, the author of Art de la guerre told me that the English rules should be distributed by North Star, though not officially confirmed at the moment. Hmm, if this goes well, I might umpire a tournament in London...<br />

I'm finally back to blogging after my holidays. Well, I'm back since the 9th of August, but I took some time to read, work and paint a bit. I started a lot of stuff, not really finished anything, you'll see.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I've just finished making the 4th video from the tournament in Normandy. This time, I face a good player, using a Britto-Roman army, With bits of Arthur in it. This video is a bit more than 6 minutes long. Hope you enjoy.<br />
<br />
Oh, and thank you to those who wished me my birthday. Thanks guys, and welcome to <a href="http://thebritisharecoming-simmy.blogspot.co.uk/">Simmy</a>.<br />

I told you I had picked up my brushes once again. Today is a bit special, since I'm going for three weeks in places where I won't be able to be connected. But at the same time, I should have enough spare time to paint a bit. I have therefore prepared some stuff:<br />

A small batch of 16 Xyston hoplites I inted to paint as some sort of black guard, of some tyrant. And next, a s***load of Romans, from Old Glory and Essex. They were amongst my first minis, at a time when you had to buy what you could lay your hands on.... But more importantly, why Romans!!!! I keep saying that I hate Romans. Well, they're for my Spartacus army, and some other projects too ;)<br />
<br />
See you in a bit more than 3 weeks.<br />

<br />
Being on holidays at your parents' home has a certain appeal: food, nice change of scenery, big garden, and lots of free time without your child...<br />
<br />
I've prepped a lot of minis to paint this coming weeks, and I also take time to create videos about my games. Those batreps take a bit of time to do, but I really enjoy doing it. I hope you do too.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this time, I played against Karoline, a very nice young woman from Northern France. Though young, she is experienced, and I knew my Syracusan army would be in for a tough game.<br />

Long time, no post. I must confess I haven't be very faithful to the blogging community lately, not reading as ,any blogs as i wanted to, not leaving enough comments... Truth is; I'm on holidays, and I've enjoyed some quiet days without my daughter at home, to paint a bit. Expect a lot to come after I come back in August.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, here is my second game in the Normandy tournament. Hope you enjoy.<br />

Here it is, the first part of my Art de la guerre tournament. My army faced an Indian army. Lots of fun during that game. And by the way, the V3 of the rules should be published in September OFFICIALLY, both in French and English. We are testing the changes, which sound promising.<br />

Last Thursday I went to the club for a practice game of FOG-AM. I was available but with no one to play with, and Gordon needed a sparring partner before a competition. He had kindly given me his army list, while I devised something for him to think about. He had decided to play a Jin army, full of nasty armoured cavalry, and crossbow infantry. I chose an Indo-Greek army, with some nellies, lots of cheap bowmen, and some pikey things. Nothing was superior in my army!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Bonjour a tous! Jeudi dernier je fis une partie de FOG au club. J'etais dispo mais n'avais rien de prevu. Gordon avait besoin d'entrainement en vue d'un tournoi. Je savais qu'il jouerait Jin, et j'avais le choix de l'armee a jouer. Je decidai de lui opposer des Greco-Indiens, avec quelques restrictions. Face a la cavalerie superieur et aux arbaletriers, je combattrais avec des archers et des elephants, avec un peu de trucs qui piquent. Et le tout de qualite moyenne!</span></i><br />

Here we go. Once upon, in a land far away... The Jin empire decided to cross the timeline frontier, and invaded the land of the Indo-Greeks. Fetasalakis, the Greek general, has heard about this planned invasion, thanks to his time travelling agents, and raised an army to confront the invaders from the East. Sadly (or not?), he had barely time to raise reliable Greek troups, and therefore had to rely on lots of Indian auxiliaries, and even on a local potentate. Would that be enough to win agaisnt the might of the veteran armoured horsemen ?<br />
<br />
Well, luckily for him Fetasalakis was a good general, inspired we might say, and using wisely the low quality cavalry he had with him, he managed to lure the Jin in a hilly area, where he could control the more numerous ennemy cavalry.<br />
<br />

<br />
As you can see, the battlefield was loaded! Indeed I stole the battle initiative (thanks to my general and the crap cavalry), and decided to fight in a hilly area, so thatI could avoid the open terrain area, which Gordon would certainly choose.. The uneven terrain is not that good for cavalry, so I could try to protect my flanks.<br />
<br />
The Jin, as vicious a people as you can be, tried to outfox our brave general, deploying their cavalry on the wings and in the center. Nice move! Fetasalakis would never know where they would attack. Ah but they had a weakness: their infantry on their right flank. This could be their downfall.<br />

Fetasalakis thought quickly about his plan: he would deploy Currywithpita on his right, with the light cavalry and some elephants. Then, Shangukai, the local potentate, would be in the center, with more elephants, and some bowmen. It was a weak flank, but strong enough to control the ennemy cavalry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Directly in front of the ennemy camp, Nodrachmebuteuros was deployed with a small phalanx, some heavy thureophoroi and some skirmishers. Their mission, either move towards the ennemy infantry, or go straight at the ennemy cavalry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, Fetasalakis would lead the attack on the left flank, with lots of bowmen, some Indian footmen and elephants to protect the infantry agaisnt the cavalry.</div>

What a game! It was a race to see which one of us would break the other's wing. the sacrifice of my elephants on the right had paid off, since Gordon had first to shoot them down before charging at them, otherwise he would have been in trouble. This bought me enough time to move my infantry forward and trap his right wing.</div>

First, a nice batrep set during the English civil war. The real one, using Pike and Shotte, in 28mm:<br />

Yes, we still have rainy, or should I say stormy, days, but the temperatures are finally bearable. It means more family time for us, and less time for painting, unless you're well organized and manage to get some spare time to prime your minis outside. Lucky you. Anyway, on to the review.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Salut a tous. L'ete arrive enfin, du moins par chez nous. JE sais que les orages grondent en France, parfois violemment. Avec le soleil viennent les sorties en famille, quasi-obligatoires, ce qui signifie moins de peinture pour moi. Enfin, en avant pour la serie. </i></span><br />
