A southerly storm arrived today, cold with rain and hail until Sunday :(
I won't be getting any undercoating or varnishing done until at least then :( :(

2nd Light Battalion final dry brush done and figure bases painted :)

During a brief sunny spell I considered trying to get the Régiment de Bourbonnais undercoated :-\
When it started to hail I decided I'll wait until the weather improves :-w

And before the sun go too low....

2nd Light Infantry Battalion
Light companies 37th, 40th, 43rd, 45th, 49th, 55th, 63rd, 71st and 82nd





The same battalion again, this time as detachments that can skirmish





With the commanders already painted the battalions as detachments will allow me to field two brigades rather than just one but does mean that one of the brigades can't skirmish.
This is also one more Light brigade than the British actually had in America ;)

Once again, lovely looking figures! As to having more than actually deployed - we like what we like! Every ECW player I ever know has five times as many currissiers than were ever in use.  :)
