This month I have been continuing my Pavia project, but also getting a naval project ready for Historicon in July. This won’t be a long post, but I want to show a few pictures of what I have been working on.
Modern naval project
My modern naval project is set off the coast of Yemen. It is set in 2024, with three Chinese ships, a Type 55, a Type 54A and a support ship carrying out a port visit. In the region, two USN Arleigh Burke class destroyers are carrying out anti-piracy operations. 4,500 miles away, war breaks out across the Taiwan strait, plunging the US and China into war.
The scenario explores some of the most modern naval technology. I will be using the excellent Harpoon V rules to run a game for four experienced Harpoon V players.
The project uses 1/2400 scale models and a ground scale of 1cm = 1nm. I will do a full report on the game after Historicon, but here are a few pictures for now.
Italian wars figures
I have recently painted 24 Italian arquebusiers and 28 Landsknecht arquebusiers. This is just the start of my push in painting extra figures for the battle of Pavia. Next on the painting bench are 60 French heavy cavalry (archers to support the gendarmes). These figures will bring the total French heavy cavalry to 150.
