You will have seen that Richard painted these a while back. I have just done the unpainted rockets, painted the carts and based everything up. I did a diorama type base to get all the Adler pack used up and to make it a nice piece to go on the games table linkSteve

Great work Steve - a very interesting weapon not much seen in rules. My knowledge is sort of limited to the rockets in an episode of the Sharpe series, which were noisy and chaotic, heading in no certain direction. Will have to look into their story. Bruce

Nice work! There was a persistent attempt to get rockets working - Wellington hated them of course - and a version was still in service in the Sudan. The Austrians used them in the 2nd Schleswig War and I've read somewhere that there was an RA rocket unit at Leipzig - not sure to which army it was attached - Prussians ? They were probably more used by the Navy than the army - I think a lot were fired at Copenhagen which may have accounted for Wellington's remark about setting towns on fire. Years ago the old TW wargames club napoloeonic rules allowed for rockets by doubling the error margins on artillery fire so something that missed by six inches would miss by a foot. Which gave interesting - and authentic - results especially when the range was short and the miss was a shortfall.
