I’ve recently fallen into the Silver Bayonet hole, and I’ve fallen deep! I blame all of this on the brilliant videos put out by Peachy on his YouTube channel PeachyTips. I urge you all to watch them if you’re interested in both the Napoleonic Period and wargaming.
I went out and bought both the Silver Bayonet rules and the British Unit. I’ve also bought some French and Austrians via Etsy for an introductory game with Dave.
The Doctor was the first model I painted for the British unit, and I really enjoyed painting metal models again. I’ve followed the Doctor up with the Supernatural Investigator.
Sir William Montreville
Sir William began investigating the supernatural in 1794 following a number of interviews with people who claimed to have seen a ghost in their local Church. Skeptical at first, Sir William joins with his servant to hunt these ghosts.
One late night, the duo decide to wait patiently, hiding in one of the pews at the Church to conduct some nocturnal surveillance. It wasn’t long before the pair discover the ghost of a small child skipping along the nave of the church singing “Ring a Ring o’ Roses”. Unsure what to do in the situation, Sir William decides to confront the apparition which fades away once he approaches.
The incident at the Church had a profound affect on Sir William, and since that day he has travelled through Europe investigating any reported supernatural occurring’s and recording them within his journal.
His discoveries on the appearances and behaviour of these creatures has been invaluable. Sir William was recently asked by Sir Arthur Wellesley to join the Royal Society of Supernatural Activity.
