They deployed a lot of different armies: Jomsviking (Eugenio), Normans (Antonio), Umayyads (Falvio), Huns (Aurelian), Welsh (Alberto), Later Romans (Enzo), Irish (Riccardo and Giancarlo) and Vikings (Bartolomeo and Paolo)

Rivarolo June,4 2017 - How it made - Part 3 La Piccola

The last part of this long post is dedicated to our the war games. 

All persons that have our hobby are keen on history and the possibility to share our knowledge with other is a great opportunity. Thanks to the work of all other my club mates and the initiative of Warzone President (Federico) last week I had this possibility.

During the day a significant number of persons visited the castle of Margrà in which we were and more of them asked us detail of our hobby





I took with me some of my miniatures and I prepared some depliant to easy explain how I prepared them


It was a great event well organized and that permitted us to find new friends and to play for a day in a fantastic landscape


Rivarolo June, 4 2017 - Peninsular War and The Crusaders - Part 2 La Piccola

This is the second part of a post in which I want describe the work performed by my club (La Piccola Armata) and by another local wargame club (Warzone) for a special event in which we were involved. The background was the fantastic castle of Malgrà at Rivarolo Canavese and the miniatures exhibition was organized by Federico (the Warzone President).

In this post I'll report the two scenarios prepared by La Piccola Armata.


In the first table Riccardo, Aurelian, Maurizio and Flavio played a battle set during the Peninsular wars between the Spanish and the French. 
Below an overview of the table


The battle saw the French attempt to outflank the Spanish with their cavalry


Below some details of the fantastic Spanish troops painted by Flavio



and some particulars of French units painted by me (the artillery on the landscape is painted by Flavio)



The battle was hard fought and, at the end, the Spanish decided to celebrate the victory in this way




On the second table Biagio e Ezio recreated a part of Acri siege using Lion Rampart




The obj of the Saracens was to burn the siege machines. 


Below some pictures of the Saracens painted by Biagio and ...


... the Franks painted by Ezio


After a lot of turns the Saracens win burning part of siege machines



Rivarolo June, 4 2017 - Bolt Action and Warhammer 40k - Part 1 Warzone

In June, thanks to the great initiative of another local wargame association (Warzone - Rivarolo) and his president Federico, La Piccola Armata partecipated to a miniatures exhibition in one of the Castles of the zone.

The location is the Castle of Malgrà at Rivarolo Canavese. Below some pictures to permit to all to understand the fantastic landscape in which the exhibition was helt.



The event involved many persons both from La Piccola Armata and Warzone with five different scenarios and rule systems. So I decided to split this event in three different post:
- Warzone - WW2 (Bolt Action); The Tyrannids attack and The battle of the Titans (Warhammer 40k)
- La Piccola Armata - Peninsular wars (LaSalle) and  The Crusaders (Lion Rapart)
- La Piccola Armata - How it made

An overview of the first two tables prepared by Warzone members.





These miniatures are the work of different persons and, considering the great results,  I want to report the names of all the authors:
- Tyrannids by Leonardo M.
- Krieg, Magnus, Rubric Marines by Pietro F.
- Chaos by Francesco Mo.
- Dark Angels, Imperial Knights and Blood Raven by Francesco Mu.

In the first table, two Imperial Knight Titans try to kill a Chaos Demon on a ice planet



In the second table a Krieg platoon, supported by some Deathwing Knights and a Baneblade, tries to resist to an attack of Tyrannids.



Some details of the struggle...  The Death Corps of Krieg Cavalry that is launching into the battle


... Krieg artillery that is firing against the enemy and ...


... the supreme commander that is observing the battle


The third tables is a tribute to WW2. 
Also this scenario sees different authors:
- Germans painted by Marco
- English painted by Enrico 
- Americans painted by Alessandro


An overview of the battle field.



... some details. A 88mm that is waiting for his target and ...


... two German tanks are approaching to enemy lines
