So here is just a small update. These were waiting for me when I got home today. This is the beginning of my new British peninsular war army. I have been told that a 32:1 ratio works best with the Perry minis. I am hopping to use them in Black Powder games if I can every find a club to play in Ireland. So if anybody knows of Dublin clubs that play historical I would be obliged if you could let me know..

    As I said these are just the beginning I am hoping to do the full 1st Division under Gen. Thomas Graham from August 1811.As such each box of line infantry will represent one battalion in the division. Hopefully I am making sense as I am not used to working in these types of wargames and if I am not somebody please core ct me

A new beginning to an old story

Hello everybody. I have decided to start a blog to record my wargaming and general miniature panting. The main reason is to try and spur me on to actually get some work done. I have only returned to mini painting in the last year or so, so please bear with me.

        Now for a bit of background. I have painted and gamed with minis since I was young and like many, my first exposure to models was the airfix and Revel I made with my Dad. After that I was exposed to Warhammer and the verity of products that Games Workshop have churned out. These were where I spent my formative wargaming years and so many birthday presents. But after a while GW got way to expensive for me, and I left the hobby.

      I have picked up things during this absence but never really got around to painting anything. Everytiime I began to begin again life seemed to take a different turn and my painting took a back seat. Fast-forward; to today and I am a new man looking to re-enter the hobby of my misbegotten youth. But instead of Warhammer and sci-fi minis I have decided to pursue historical wargaming. So with any luck I will have some very nice Napoleonic toys to show you in the near future.

Thanks for reading.
