It is a small village with an old castle transformed into a large farm. 

In the south of this one a river with a bridge runs. 
the Austrians and the Prussians hold the center and the left of the village.

English it is established around and in the large farm while the troops of the duchy of nassau and those of the duke of Brunswick keep the river and the bridge.

The French Army arrives by north and the south.

Very cool! I love the straw in the attics of the houses, and the redcoats standing on furniture to peer over the wall. Can't wait to see more.

I think that this is going to be a very BIG battle ... ;)

And, to quote Cap'n Henry, "Can't wait to see more."

Hello, Charles, Vincent and Olivier ...

Thank you for creating, and for sharing, such an incredible display of your magnificent Playmobil armies !!!

As you probably know, you posted about 100 photographs ... :)

I found that scrolling up and down through two pages of photos, made it somewhat difficult to fully enjoy your beautiful presentation ... So, I copied all 100 photos and made a slide show on my computer. I wish that I could show everyone, as it's awesome !!! I have watched it several times, and each time I keep seeing new and different things. (There's just so much to see!)

I was thinking that it might be fun to put all of your photos together into a PowerPoint presentation and add some sound ... ;)

But, for now, I am happy watching my computer slide show of your fantastic battle.

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Incredible, awesome, fabulous, impressive, amazing....now I am running out of adjectives.
Threads like this make me think about giving up my "packaging", buying more and more soldiers to reenact the Battle of the Pyramids. But for the sake of money and space I'll stick to small set(tings) for a while.
For the time being I enjoy your work.

All the best,

My first though was that there MUST be some sort of digital alteration of the photos, but NO! Everything depiced is REAL!

Truly an amazing display! How long did it take you to set everything up? And once it was set up did you actually fight a battle, or just take pictures?

Thanks so much for sharing this with us - it was terrific to see such a magnificent display of Playmobil. BRAVO!

I just wish that your latest instructions for posting photos (https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=372.0) would have been up in time for Kaisergarde to use such an easy way to post his photos.

I seemed to have missed this too Flash!

Thankyou Charles, Vincent and Olivier for this amazing battle. The research into the uniforms, the gathering of parts, the convertions and finally setting up of the battle must have taken you forever. Thanks to Paul too for adding to your huge armies.

I thoughly enjoyed all the pictures. Some of the little scenes were great. The market, the nuns being ushered into a building. A wounded soldier being helped by his comrades atc.

It´s huge fun identifying the regiments and in some cases which army.
 I´m delighted to see that the Nassauers are represented. They tipped the scales I presume  ;) 
( The trouble with them is, you can´t be sure for whom!  ;))
