Naming conventions of units differ for traditional British historical reasons, creating a significant opportunity for confusion an infantry battalion is equivalent to a cavalry regiment. All units within the British Army service are either Regular (full-time) or Army Reserve (full-time or part-time), or a combination with sub-units of each type. In some Regiments and Corps called squadrons or batteries, sub-divided into platoons or troops. Major units are battalion-sized, with minor units being company sized sub-units. The command structure within the British Army is hierarchical with divisions and brigades controlling groupings of units from an administrative perspective. Subordinate to that post, there is a Commander Field Army, and a personnel and UK operations command, Home Command. The Army is commanded by the Chief of the General Staff (CGS), with Army Headquarters which is located in Andover, Hampshire. Edited Januby Col.The structure of the British Army is being reorganised to the Future Soldier structure. I'd love to see interpretations of specific wars, colonies, battles etc and there really isn't enough of that on this site. Your Russian artillery officer in particular is a very nice touch as by this stage we can start to expect changes in dress, hats and weaponry - the Crimean War was at the very end of what I consider the Napoleanic era, the industrial war era was dawning at the later half of the 19th century which is seen in aspects of the American Civil War for example.Ĭan I suggest that you do a few more scenes from the Crimean War before you have to break up and use those pieces elsewhere. I'm always pushing to see historical representation, hence my work on the flags and it's great to see people using those torsos and trying as best as one can to replicated authentically. The smoke as ever is a winner, especially with the red bush, though from your narration was this Sir Nadroj's idea first?ģ.

This way you can take incidents in history and have much greater free will with what's available to present the scene.Ģ. I think the paintings were beginning to limit your originality Tiny Pies because you were always limited to the scene involved and the perfect torsos and pieces etc. *wub* It's my favourite of everything you've done despite what a tragedy this was in British military history and here's why:ġ. One of each minifigure (I used Mosana's Austrian artilleryman and infantry officer torsos for the Russians, but changed the colours to grey):įeedback appreciated *sweet* Edited Januby TinyPiesRUs Poor Sir Nadroj, killed by his own bush technique :'-( :-D : The Light Brigade continue to charge, but are beaten back by cannon fire: The message got jumbled on the way there, and the Light Brigade ended up charging into the wrong cannons, which were well fortified. He ordered a messenger to tell Lord Cardigan, commander of the British Light Brigade to attack them. Moving on:ĭuring the battle of Balaclava against the Russians, Lord Raglan, the British general during the Crimean War, noticed that the Russians had captured the British and Ottoman cannons in the north of Balaclava.
I'm not sure if it should go here or in the history forum, but since it's using imperial pieces, I put it here. Here's my MOC on the Charge of the Light Brigade.
