Casualties of War 2016


Clearing some more miniatures from the backlog, I have some Napoleonic and Feudal casualty miniatures from Baccus.  I have been playing around with these to get the right fit for my games.  I tend to use the casualty figures to note damage in single stand unit games, and to note where units had elements destroyed in games like command and colors.  I find it gives an idea of the ebb and flow of the battle.

The pictures above are the rest of the Austrian Casualty figures I started back in July of 2014.  I opted to do half as Austrian Cuirassiers and the other half as French Dragoons or Cuirassiers.  At this scale the color scheme alone works for the conversion and it allows for fair use.  I painted up some Adler French casualties at the same time, but they are all on the process of falling.  Thus,they will serve as disordered markers instead.

Also on the pile were these Baccus Norman casualties.


They painted up rather blandly, so I opted to add some color in the shields.

  1. Casualty markers; much needed and often overlooked. Good job on cranking these out!

    1. Thanks, I tried out a scenario for Regimental Fire and Fury last week. For counters I went with fallen soldiers for hits, fleeing soldiers for disorder and a pile of cannon balls for worn.

    3. Still getting used to the rules. Much less lethal than JRIII.

    4. Yes, much less lethal. Much more of an attritional game than some. Makes artillery very vulnerable to attack if unsupported.

  2. I too like casualty markers and these are very nice. I could use quite a few more myself.

    1. I use your reports for inspiration. The chickens and cows are an excellent touch
