Product Description
The failure of the British army from a wargaming perspective is not in its men, but in its leaders. The generals, with a couple of notable exceptions, were not experienced in warfare and beyond issuing initial orders usually played little part in the battle. Failure to issue orders or to effectively communicate them to the divisional or brigade commanders often left brigades paralysed whilst they awaited instructions. Additionally, a genuine loathing of one another, and some generals’ preference for elevating officers for their social standing, rather than command capability, exacerbated such problems.
This pack contains three of the most famous personalities in command of British forces during the Crimean War, cast in metal:
- Lord Raglan
- Lord Campbell
- Captain Nolan
Rules for their use in Black Powder can be found in the Into the Valley of Death supplement.
Sculpted by Mike Percy. Studio miniatures painted by Jamie Getliffe.
