A Foray into Napoleonic Wargaming
French Camp
Quite a few Napoleonic ranges do some incidental miniatures for putting together camp scenes or ancillary support like hospitals or baggage trains. I came across this nice camp set by Eureka Miniatures, and thought a little camp scene could be fun to make, plus could act as an objective marker or something. The tent is a resin cast by Debris of War.
If you’re looking at this and thinking that the soldiers don’t look like French infantry, you’d be right. They are a group of artillery train drivers, wearing a single breasted Kinski coat, which wasn’t very common across the French army.
I love the guy pissing on the tree. It’s nice touch!
I’ll admit that I made a tree solely to give that guy something to water.
