Carlist Wargame

A couple of weeks ago Rob and I got together for another Carlist War game.  I really enjoy playing and painting the period with the variety of troops and great minis available.
We used the Sharp Practice rules by TooFatLardies and as in my mind I always find it difficult to game Napoleonics in a skirmish like setting I do feel these rules are as good as it gets for Carlist War games. We just use them as is and create some specific cards for the Isabilinos and Carlist to reflect their different fighting styles.
Rob created the scenario in which the Carlist had to supply a small village and reinforce their position . The Isabilonos had to prevent all this and preferably burn the village.
No complete turn by turn run-through or detailed report today. As some of you may have noticed I'm running kind of behind in posting and visiting the blogs. I've not given up though, actually I'm completely recharged with way too many plans as usual.
Next weeks I'm traveling a lot but will be back early September with more Mexicans, start of the Early French Naps and the return of the ACW...

Full picture report of the day
I've also managed to recover my Carlist Gallery after my struggle with MobileMe removing my pictures   some Months agao.

28mm Carlist War collection

One of the things I want to do on this blog is to get most of my and the club's miniatures collection online. Long way to go but it means I will switch periods rather radically in my posts over the next weeks or so. A bit like my painting. While busy on a project you think is the coolest ever you browse the web or speak to a friend and order something completely different. Goodbye focus and in the drawer all these nice extra pieces you bought for the army. And if you think of it. Were those specials not the reason I started it in the first place?

Anyway, I have posted these before two years ago somewhere so you might have seen them before...



We use the Sharp Practice ruleset for Carlist War as well. Works fine, we added 3 different bonus card for each side to reflect the differences in the armies. Very simple, for Carlist some modifiers for Fisticuffs and the Isabellino's better firing. Think we also use the Spanish relic cards.
