I guess not!
I am working on mine at the moment. MAYBE it will be done soon. ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) |

I'm doing some 18mm Crimean war stuff at the moment, I'll post a some photos when I finish.
I've got some 28mm Napoleonic Russians on large bases, short edge forward. I'll get some photos and post them on Monday night.
Here's some 28mm SYW I did with the large bases, but long edge forward, but I think in the furture I'll do it the other way around.

These are some of my French Center company figs. Been working and playtesting a rule set that is aimed more at divisional play rather than base = company play. Currently working on getting a lot more figs from my old Empire collection rebased, will hopefully have more pics up in the future. The paint job is 15+ years old, 20 years on some of the figs, so be kind....

No need to apologize--- the paint job is very good. The amazing thing is they still look so good after all those years.
I really like your basing. Six figs to a company (base) gives a sufficient 'troop density, while allowing an economy of figures. (Eight figs to a base might give a more 'visceral' feel, but then again, maybe not.)
I don't know if you've had a chance to see the thread I started to discuss possible base sizes and unit sizes .....http://forumnapofow.free.fr/viewtopic.php?t=112..... but I do think your unit makes a nice battalion, which I prefer. How were you planning on basing the Flank and Grenadier companies? On small bases? That would certainly allow skirmish lines.
Great job.

Thanks for the compliment, I always feel self conscious about my Nap figs, I've gotten a lot better since way back then.

I like the six fig bases for line units. I'll use the eight fig bases for elite units. It does give them a better look I think. I'm hoping that if used sparingly, I can stretch my line troops that much further, and have my elite units stand out nicely on the table top.

When I get around to rebasing all the elite companies I intend to field four of them on a medium base with two center company figs towards the center. This is basically for my own rule set, larger scale. If FoW Nap gets up and rolling hereabouts, then I'd probably put my elites six to a medium base just like the center companies. Six equal bases per battalion.
I prefer the larger scale of gaming, mutliple division corps making up armies. But it would be great to have them dual purpose based so that I could break them down to make up a division where each company and gun were represented on the board. I've got plenty enough, way too much Empire in my past...... |

That, of course, is the 'Great Trick' we all are looking for. I originally had 24 Scots Greys based for GDW's Fire and Steel. When I considered going to Empire 3, I was alarmed to find out I would only be able to use 8. And with that bearskin, it's not like I could proxy the rest into another unit. So goes life.

Thankfully, I have well over 600 French line and light infantry painted. So even taking out the extra command bases, I can field a good size division with six figs per company per base.
Though I'm not too thrilled at a 'just like' Fow game, I'd play just to see the figs get pushed around the table. |

Some more stuff I've gotten rebased. These are set up for my own home grown rules, corps and army level stuff. Should still be compatible with FoW rules, if, they get around to it.
Hoping to get in a write up of an AAR of a battle I play tested this friday night past sometime soon.
These are all at least 15+ years on the paint job, so be kind.
Some Light Cavalry:
Infantry in various formations:
Some of my Cuirassiers:

are you doing 2 stands = 1 company? so a battalion is 6 stands on average plus 1 officer |

Actually no, I'm working on two bases equals a brigade. Although I'm interested in a Napo FOW project, I'm working on my won higher level stuff. Just posting pics and such to help keep the conversation going. |

Hey, Grognard, what happened to your image links?
those figures are too nice not to share with everyone. ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |
