Here are some wonderful photos taken by Glenn of the Sunday afternoon (14 Sept 2025) of our three day refight of Eckmuhl, 22 April 1809. I won't try to caption them as everything will be covered by my main blog posts in due course. Glenn takes some clever angles so they make a great supplement to my usual fare. That means you get super close ups of some of the figures but perspective distortion of the distance across the table. The gloss varnished figures are all 18mm AB Miniatures from the collection of Paul B of Cheltenham. Richard Newcombe provided a French Cuirassier brigade of Essex Miniatures and James Fergusson another one of a brand I'm not familiar with. All the rest were from my collection of a great variety of 15-18mm figures about half painted by me and the rest bought ready painted on Ebay. Many, but not all, of them have been "Greggicised" by a unifying fluffy light green grassy scatter on the bases.
I hope you enjoy Glenn's photos and if so feel free to thank him in a comment below. Thanks a lot from me Glenn.

I did actually do a lot more than just looking at pieces of paper and pointing!
