19th Century European Wars

Many friends who know me are aware that one of my favourite wargaming periods are all the European Wars of the 19th century such as the two Schleswig Holstein Wars, the Crimean War, the Italian Wars of Unification, the 1866 war and the Franco Prussian War so here is a selection of some of my toys in action.

Austrian artillery in action giving the pesky Prussians a hard time.

The Bavarian army also joined in the fun in 1866 but were 'persuaded' to join with the Prussians in 1870 for the Franco Prussian War.

How can you not love the Austrians in their lovely white uniforms keeping the Italians in line.

They even have lots of lovely cavalry to charge uselessly against Dreyese rifle armed Prussians.
