Leuthen project

[FierceKitty]

Long way to go yet, but so far....The Prussian staff, reading left to right: Ziethen, Private Milecovic, Schwerin, Frederick, Biche, Seydlitz, and Dessauer. Austrians: Browne, Lucchesi, Private Rackozy, Esterhazy, Daun, and Haddik.

[FierceKitty]

Some of the artillery. That 12 pdr looks frightening in this scale.

[FierceKitty]

The Emperor's hussars and the Bethlen hussars.

[FierceKitty]

Nadasty hussars, and, going north, the von Ruesch hussars. Note that the flag is authentic. Prussian hussars didn't carry colours in the field, but an exception was made for these chaps, who were allowed to carry a captured French standard. Since they went on to break an Austrian cuirassier regiment, I trust they also got a good pension scheme!

[FierceKitty]

The unpronouncable von Szekely regiment, and von Wechmar's too.

[FierceKitty]

The Franciscus le Noble Freikorps rifles going over the hills and far away, with two Croatian Grenzer units to stop them.

[FierceKitty]

Closer views of the Austrian pandours. The little guns were actually issued to Grenzer units; here, the Warasdiener-Creutzer, and the Gradisca.

Nice stuff, Kitty.

I'll mail you later about a query (or two) regarding the Aztecs.

[FierceKitty]

I'm all ears.
Yous, Dumbo.

Blimey, lots of troops! Always good to see named units, and I assume with the correct coloured uniforms?

[FierceKitty]

As far as possible. Sources more learned than I call each other liars, historical records differ, and there are details which elude my brush; but I'm trying to get it reasonably right.

Nice!

What do you use for your bases? hem always appear very thin 

[FierceKitty]

Cardboard with a layer of epoxy glue. In a few cases I've explored including a length of paper clip wire as well, lest the bases warp. I don't flock, since I think if your cloth doesn't have a matching texture this draws attention to the bases, rather than increasing realism. Perhaps someday I'll find a suitable textured gaming cloth and need to redo the whole nine yards.

I'm all ears.
Yous, Dumbo.

Test message for Dumbo on its way.   

Cheers - Phil

[FierceKitty]

It's got to me.
