Blücher in the Peninsula


I have built two 200pt armies for Blücher using the 'match stick' method employed at the Raab game. Perfect for later use, easy to store, practically free of charge, and takes very little time to complete. These are shallow defenses against the quality, by the way.
I have used the 'official' army builder included in the book, which is somewhat contrary to what I've done with the Raab scenario. If you look back at the orders of battle, most units have just an élan score and minimal abilities/modifiers. This time, using the army builder, I had to calculate with lots of modifiers, and include them on the unit bases for the sake of clarity. The printed details still need revision (some units are marked in Roman numbers only while others use Arab too; the élan was left off some etc), but this is easy to mend with a new set printed out and glued over. The French army uses a large component of the one fighting at Raab, but as you will see, this time they were not that lucky.

WIP: Scratch-built church


...the outer surface will be covered with matchsticks as soon as I get more.



For the sake of security I censored the sign on the toothpaste box used as the tower.
