* If you are interested in painting, collecting or war-gaming with model soldiers, or interested in the Napoleonic era any way, then this book is for you; it has many articles that set the scene and mood for ensuing battles by detailing the historical background and build up to the many Napoleonic wars and campaigns that took place. * For the miniature painters and collectors Matthew Fletcher has written a section showing how to speed paint an army that any wargamer would be proud of, and Kevin Dallimore reveals his secret of painting outstanding Napoleonic models using his world renowned three color method. * For the gamer, Matthew Fletcher has created a truly unique set of rules that are simple to understand and play; rules that will provide an evening of fun and entertainment for all. * In short, this book contains everything you will need to enjoy yourself painting and collecting miniatures and gaming in the Napoleonic era. I first met Matt Fletcher when he was employed by a well known fantasy games company based in Nottingham; he was an 18 year old, wide eyed, fresh faced teenager looking like he had found Aladdin's Cave as he scanned all of the models, games and books stacked on the warehouse shelves. Two of Matt's childhood dreams had been realised; he was not only involved in a rapidly growing company making and selling the products he loved, he was also heavily involved with the team responsible for the play testing and development of games and the writing of books. Everyone was impressed by Matt's energy, enthusiasm and knowledge; he had a great knowledge of all things fantasy and, as I was later to find out, an even greater knowledge of all things historical. Matt soon realised that these new experiences might lead to the fulfillment of yet another childhood dream; to write a book that combined his extensive historical knowledge of all things Napoleonic with the new experiences gained in the creation and development of books, games and game mechanics. Little did he realise how much time it would take for this dream to be fulfilled. Eighteen years have since passed and I think Matt has been very surprised (and sometimes frustrated) with the length of time that it has taken to produce the book that you now hold; not only for the time it has taken him to produce and structure a script suitable for submission, but also for the time it has taken for his script to be edited and augmented to reach the high standard expected from any Foundry publication. If you are interested in painting, collecting or wargaming with toy soldiers, or interested in the Napoleonic era any way, then this book is for you; it has many articles that set the scene and mood for ensuing battles by detailing the historical background and build up to the many Napoleonic wars and campaigns that took place. For the miniature painters and collectors, Kevin Dallimore has added his own article on painting Napoleonic models using his unique and world renowned three color method. For the wargamer, Matt has created a truly unique set of rules that have been amended and developed many times over the years to provide an evening of fun and entertainment; he has also written his own article on how to speed paint an army to a standard that any wargamer would be proud of. Matt is very proud of this book and wants everyone who reads it to experience the great fun and pleasure he gets from painting and playing games with toy soldiers. For Matt, the book you now hold is another dream come true.

As the wars of Napoleon ravage Europe, chaos and fear reign and the darkness that once clung to the shadows has been emboldened. Supernatural creatures – vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and worse take advantage of the havoc, striking out at isolated farms, villages, and even military units. Whether they are pursuing some master plan or simply revelling in their newfound freedom is unknown. Most people dismiss reports of these slaughters as the rantings of madmen or the lies of deserters, but a few know better... The Silver Bayonet is a skirmish wargame of gothic horror set during the Napoleonic Wars. Each player forms an elite band of monster hunters drawn from the ranks of one of the great powers. Riflemen, swordsmen, and engineers fight side-by-side with mystics, occultists, and even those few supernatural creatures that can be controlled or reasoned with enough to make common cause. The game can be played solo, co-operatively, or competitively, with players progressing through a series of interlinked adventures with their soldiers gaining experience and suffering grievous wounds, and their units triumphing... or falling in the face of the shadows. It is a game of action and adventure, where musket and sabre meet tooth and claw.

The Napoleonic Wars saw almost two decades of brutal fighting, from the frozen wastelands of Russia to the wilderness of the Peninsula, and from Egypt to the bloody battlefield of Waterloo. Fighting took place on an unprecedented scale across Europe, and over the entire period of the wars Napoleon led his Grand Armée and his allies against almost every European nation, and against varying coalitions. This book provides a comprehensive guide to all the major armies of the Napoleonic Wars, of France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Spain and Portugal. Covering the changes experienced by the armies over the period, the author details the organization, infantry, cavalry, and artillery of each. With stunning original artwork of the often glorious uniforms worn into battle, period illustrations of the equipment used, and photographs, this is a beautiful and in-depth study of the armies that fought in the Napoleonic campaigns.
