I have way too much invested in 10mm Napoleonics to continue to collect and paint 15mm.

Pretty good - I tried to not make that post too sappy :)<br />So all of the troops are now seated in their boxes and the loose stuff is bagged. I glued them to carpet tiles i bought for fields that coincidentally fit perfectly into a large priority mail box. So if you can salvage the carpet tiles, you get some "terrain" thrown in, too!<br /><br />The French have a bit more Cavalry than I originally thought - so you might only need a unit or 2 of Lancers or Cuirassiers. <br /><br />The Brits definitely need some help as there are only 2 units of light cavalry on the British side and no allied cavalry at all. It's funny with the basing - I originally intended to make the British 20 man battalions of 5 bases to represent the longer lines - I think that was why i based them the way i did. THey'll look way better densely packed I think. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do with these guys! I have been scheming up a plan to basically paint nothing but Napoleonics next year!<br /><br />Going to finish the boxes off tomorrow and will likely post by Wednesday.

My first order of business will be getting everything cleaned up (i.e., flock the unflocked stuff, touch up anything that got roughed up in shipping, see if anything needs to be re-based) and plussing up the 16-man battalions to 24 men, then I'm looking to (as you suggested) add some cavalry, but even so, it would appear I'll have plenty of troops to jump straight into some gaming. Sorry, I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on'em.<br /><br />Having said, that, no rush brother, I've got plenty of other stuff to occupy my time. I was supposed to play my third 6mm BKC game this weekend, but ended up having no time on Saturday and painting all day Sunday.<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-67835109107136432019-09-22T14:02:48.687-04:002019-09-22T14:02:48.687-04:00I thought those Soviet guns were Game Models, grea...I thought those Soviet guns were Game Models, great prices and a really nice guy to work with!Don Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230631364253238804noreply@blogger.com
