I've decided to have about a third of figures with one coat colour, based on the flag colour, the rest will be random :-\

Thanks Steve, that's all my entries in #:-S
(I don't do Fantasy or Sci-Fi, too much history, too little time)

I need to do a brief report on our refight of the Affair of Abu Tellul :!!

I hope to get the 6 units of Horse finished this week  :!!

Then it is either 3 units of Foot or 5 units of Forlorn Hope and 1 unit of Foot :-\
