A quiet but productive week so far.

No game this week unfortunately. I was supposed to be having Paul over yesterday but I had to cancel as I wasn't and still aren't physically up to organising and hosting a game. Robbie and John aren't available today either so gaming plans are on hold until the weekend when I'm hoping Peter will stagger down the hill again for another AWI/wine drinking session.

On the up side, I have managed to get more French for my FRW Suvorov project completed and based up, and in doing so realised that as usual I've gone a bit (more than a bit) mad and now have two battalions shy of four Demi-brigades, including skirmish stands, plus a couple of combined grenadiers. With four (or is it five?) battalions left to do that's far too many. I also have four squadrons of French Chasseurs a Cheval that I had painted for me, with a couple of squadrons of heavy cavalry to do. I thought I'd better get started on artillery and commanders so that's the task for the next week.

I've not had time or the energy to take any photos but will do so before the weekend as the figures are presently cluttering up the dining room table waiting to go into their billets.

  1. Thanks Paul. I had some help with some of the infantry and the French cavalry but I still made sure they all fitted in together and did the basing etc.

  2. Sorry to hear you are hors de combat Colin! Still a little light painting always helps.
