All,
I've been slaving away, trying to get my mountain of Old Glory Napoleonic figures painted up, maybe even get a game in this decade. I've literally got more raw Napoleonic lead than I can count, and I have no end goal in sight (with regards to how many units of various types I want/need to have), but I'm gonna keep charging ahead. Initially I'm looking at, per side: 6 infantry battalions, two cavalry squadrons, two artillery batteries with limbers, and a CinC and a couple brigade commanders. I'll also figure out some skirmish bases/units somewhere along the way. My next step will be to double all that. So far, I've got the initial batch of infantry done (12 battalions total), and I'm working on the four cavalry squadrons. Previously I posted my first two infantry battalions (one French, one Austrian); I've now finished up the other ten infantry battalions (five per side). Let's take a look.

The whole mess, so far: twelve line infantry battalions, six per side, with French on the left and Austrians on the right. To see a bunch more pictures, plus some work in progress pics of my cavalry, please check the blog at:

Well, that's all for now. Pretty happy with how everything is turning out, pretty proud of my productivity. I'm getting there, slowly but surely. The infantry is really a pain in the butt (just so many), but the cavalry, which I plan on doing only twelve figures per unit, three per base, four bases per squadron, is going pretty damn quick, actually. We'll see how the artillery, limbers, and command stands go. I hate painting limbers...

Coming along nicely, Jack. :-bd
P.S. That's also a good shade of blue for the French - quite authentic looking.*
*Humbrol so-called 'French' Blue has so much to answer for.
Thanks Westmarcher!
