Very nice, I'm not sure why but put me in mind of Morris dancers  :-X

Is your intention to use those as a switch out between line and square formations?

No, in Blucher you mark units in "prepared" status. A base represents 1000s of men; in 'grand scale' it is 3000-5000 men. Up to now we've been using counters.

If I use the figures for Black Powder we can just rearrange the stands.

Very good, I do like using figures for markers wherever possible

Me too, I can afford to do it with MDF. Also much easier and quicker to colour in.

New subproject. Now doing the French Cavalry Corps.
Initial aim is 9 bases of Cuirassier, and 3 of Carabiniers. This will make 4 units for "Blucher".

Bugger. It appears I only ordered enough for 6 bases of Cuirasses. Need to find out how much he'll charge to send 1 or 2 packs.

So, Walt contacted re extra Cuirassiers.

In the meantime, what I have painted this week (well, yesterday)

Cuirassiers by Last Hussar, on Flickr

I now have 6 bases of cuirass, 6 of hussar, and 12 of cheval-leger, plus the 12 bases of Guard Cavalry.

Should I make guidons/standards for my 1809 French cavalry? If they are 80cm square that makes them 4mm for the figures.

Wargamers. And by asking this, no doubt I will find out incredibly important information about a cup of tea Nobby had in a motorway services in 1997.
