Piano Wargames: The Danube Campaign – Teil 2

Der aktuelle Kickstarter von Piano Wargames geht bald zu Ende.

The Danube Campaign – Part 2

Napoleon’s last triumph – French and Austrian miniatures for the Napoleonic Wars

Welcome to the second part of “The Danube Campaign”!

With the continuation of our ambitious plan to cover the entire War of the Fifth Coalition of 1809, we once again have almost 200 brand-new miniatures to bolster the ranks of your French and Austrian forces!

I read a lot of books in the run-up to this campaign and, above all, looked at an enormous amount of art to immerse myself even more into the spring of 1809.

In particular, I tried to bring iconic moments from famous paintings to life with the new miniatures. Be it Lasalle’s final charge at Wagram, General Dorsenne’s stoic display at Aspern-Essling or Bessiere’s cavalry attacks at both of these battles.

The War of the Fifth Coalition really is an endless source of stories, exciting characters and grandiose battle scenes, and you can look forward to lots of projects like this in the future

Thanks a lot to Stephan Huber from Stephan Huber Miniature Painting for his amazing painting work on the figures! And also a huge thank you to my casters Ulrike and Jörg from Schilling-Figuren for their hard work and effort.

Why Kickstarter?

This campaign finances the production of the figures in metal (master prints, moulds, casting etc.). The production costs are still relatively high for my small company, especially for that number of figures! That’s why I am using Kickstarter for this, which minimises the losses should the campaign not be successful.

Now it’s your turn!

I really hope you like the new sets! After such a long time of sculpting and painting, I am incredibly happy to finally show you all the new miniatures.

If you want to make this and future projects of mine possible, I would be very happy about your support! Not only do you invest in a few new figures, but you also enable me to continue working full time on exciting projects.

Feel free to share this campaign with your friends, it would mean a lot to me! I already have lots of new projects planned for the coming years, next will be Baden in late spring of 2025, followed by Saxony the same year. There´s a lot more to discover in 1809!
