Holiday booked for Le Mans this year...
Feels like it might be time to finish IX Corps of the Prussians (I already have the Hessians).
Must finish French 1st Corps too...

Keep churning out the FPW. I have had tremendous fun lately with the Peter Pig FPW Square Bashing variant.

240 figures? That's practically a whole army by my reckoning!*

* @ 4 to 6 figures per 1"x1" base = 40 to 60 bases = plenty

Bloody Big BATTLES!

27 per regiment, that's a reasonable size unit.  ;)
