Thank you Mark. The 2nd Schleswig War is somewhat overshadowed by events on the other side of the Atlantic but I hope I've raised a bit of interest.

This little vignette using 30mm figs is inspired by the attached painting of the Danish 8th Brigade counter attacking the Prussians. During this attack the 8th Brigade lost about half their men killed, wounded or captured and prevented a total rout of the Danish forces.
