The advance to Vienna

 I thought I'd play a couple of small scenarios before I put on the big Vienna game- to make sure my rules are sound!
In this case an Imperial vanguard contacted a force of Ottoman infantry with a gun at an important crossroad....somewhere north west of the besieged city.

The imperial force of three infantry regiments and two squadrons of imperial cuirassiers lacked artillery, but the commander decided to engage the Ottoman force.

The key three objectives- The hill, the crossroads and the ruins 

The Ottoman strongpoint.

Robert 'Guiscard' Hauteville takes on the Byzantines ...again....

 In the next phase of our Normans in Italy campaign,  Robert 'Guiscard'  decided to hit the Byzantines again after his disastrous defeat. He regathered his forces, called on reinforcements from Norman freebooters from Normandy and went after the Byzantine province of Rossano again. Another defeat could see him facing serious trouble - ( 3 defeats in a row and I'm out of the game).

Robert's Norman psychopaths.

William 'Iron Arm' is the Green pins. Robert is the yellow pin.

Rebasing- World War I figures

 I had been looking at these for quite a while. 

They are over 30 years old all, Wargames Foundry, and at the time I painted them I was never happy with the fact that I just took some dirt and sprinkled them over PVA on the base.

So I decided to at least repaint the bases and highlight......
