No they were definitely Scots figures Kitty.....not a bottle of single malt Scotch  :)

Based 16 stands of dragoons before returning to domestic duties - using 3 mounted and 8 foot figures per base to differentiate them from cavalry and forlorn hopes - a total of 4 units.

Not making separate horse holders - will use the mounted command stand to mark point of dismounting.

... before facing off against a couple French Guard Chasseur regiments (amongst other things) with some trained Prussian infantry in the on-going Napoleonic campaign that Roy is running....what can possibly go wrong?  

1. Pierre the Shy was required for domestic duties so was unavailable to command the Prussians :(

2. The French Guard Chasseurs charged through canister and musket fire with their divisional commander leading them, they slammed into three Prussian battalions ...

... and rolled a 1  :o X_X

They lost the melee and failed their morale test, routing :o X_X X_X :-[ :-[ :-[

Shortly after the French quit the field conceding a major tactical victory to the Prussians :-$

In part compensation the Prussian division that suffered the most casualties failed its reinforcement roll and won't be seeing any replacements :d

10mm dragoon guidions are small and its quite a lot of faffing about (and a few words of encouragement) to get them lined up correctly  ~X(

Just need to flock and add a few static grass clumps tonight and the four dragoon units are done  8)

Sounds like the French had bad night.....I can well imagine the Prussian players various reactions when the 1 came up..... 

On to finishing adding 92 pin pikes to open handed lowland pike figures....that should be fun...not  ;)
