Army Black

Now than my FUNNY LITTLE WARS/PORTABLE WARGAME ARMY BLACK is finally finished, I thought that I should share its organisation with my regular blog readers.

My ARMY BLACK has the following strength:

  • Commanders (Three on horseback and two on foot) (Commanders: 6 SPs each)
  • Infantry comprising:
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Infantry Battalion (Regular, 4 SPs)
    • Reserve Infantry Battalion (Reserve, 4 SPs)
    • Reserve Infantry Battalion (Reserve, 4 SPs)
    • Regular Machine Gun Company (Regular, 2 SPs)
    • Regular Machine Gun Company (Regular, 2 SPs)
  • Cavalry comprising:
    • Regular Hussar Regiment (Regular, 3 SPs)
    • Regular Hussar Regiment (Regular, 3 SPs)
  • Artillery
    • Field Artillery Battery (Regular, 2 SPs)
    • Field Artillery Battery (Regular, 2 SPs)
    • Field Artillery Battery (Regular, 2 SPs)
  • Engineers
    • Engineers Half-battalion (Regular, 2 SPs)
    • Engineers Half-battalion (Regular, 2 SPs)
  • Train
    • Supply Column (Regular, 1 SP)
    • Supply Column (Regular, 1 SP)
    • Supply Column (Reserve, 1 SP)
    • Supply Column (Reserve, 1 SP)
  • Total Strength Points = 86 SPs
  • Exhaustion Point reached after the loss of 29 SPs

This is quite a substantial little army and could easily be split into two equal-sized field forces comprising three Infantry Battalions, a Machine Gun Company, a Cavalry Regiment, a Field Artillery Battery, a Half-battalion of Engineers, and a Supply Column, with the remaining troops (Two Infantry Battalions, a Field Artillery Battery, and two Supply Columns) available as reinforcements and/or garrison troops.

      Cheers! I hope to use it as soon as I’ve got ARMY BLUE done … which shouldn’t be too long!

      All the best,

      Bob

      Cheers! It has turned out to be somewhat bigger than I originally expected, but I hope that it will give me lots of fun and enjoyment in the future.

      All the best,

  3. Hi Bob - I am eyeing Army Black and wondering about the chances of my Army of Izumrud-Zeleniya (ARMY GREEN, if you will) against it. Of course the design is different, my units comprising single stands. Not counting commanders, they'd be a fairly even match - my hordes of cavalry being matched by you superior artillery and machine guns...

    Seeing such a fine army as yours, one likes to 'fantasize' about such things...
    Cheers,
    Ion.

      I'm sure that a fight between my ARMY BLACK and your ARMY GREEN would be an interesting one ... and thinking about that prospect has given me the idea to create my own ARMY GREEN at some point in the future.

      All the best,

      Bob
