Bugger - Southwold is literally 15 minutes up the road from me  We could have set up a small skirmish on the beach!

I had the whole of Weddel's Brigade, 9th Dragoons and the remains of my Wurrtenberg division with me (2 infantry, 5 gun batteries)! I was planning to get loads done at night, but only did Dark blue and dark grey base coats before I fell ill !  

Nosher,. that would have been hilarious!

This being a record of the Kings Foote Guards invasion of Italy in the Year of our Lord 2011

After crossing the channel, the Guards make quick progress into central France along a surprisingly well cobbled road




The city of Beaune falls without a fight, the brave troopers survey the town spying out opportunities for plunder




The Alps form a mighty barrier to most armies, but the Guards intend to follow in the footsteps of Hannibal




The supply train cannot follow through the mountains so its necessary to forage - living on no more  than Alpine funghi




Decending into Italy a torrential river presents the next challenge




But the Kings Guards are ever resourceful




and now the Italian armies flee before them, leaving the Guards to relax with the spoils of victory

Haha, that's awesome!  Some well-travelled chaps right there!   

 

That was BRILLIANT! The last photo deserves a medal on it's own, but the lilo! LOL! 

Top-notch - love it 

Great Campaign report!

Excellent stuff!  These guys have been around!

The lilo picture is classic. 

No painting with me, but just went through Mortimer's Cross on the way to Croft Castle with the family.

Mortimer's annoyed and Mortimer's pretty peeved next...

I hope it stops raining when you get there!

Have you been able to work out whether it was a north-south or east-west battle. Military historians cannot seem to decide. I have to hand it to the French mercenaries who decided sod this for a lark; let's just sit down and watch.
And i have now seen two parhelions in the last two years.

No Matt, we went this lunchtime and it chucked down!

18th Division of IX Corps of the Prussians army is currently encamped 4km south of Gesnes-Le-Gandilin, slightly north west of their final positions on the Me Mans campaign (by 45km) but we will travel through several of theor staging areas and battlesites inadvertently on the way to Eurodisney tomorrow!
They got base coated last night after an epic 8 hour drive down (Should have been 6, but we got caught up in a horrendous jam on the M25), inked and highlighted tonight.

Excellent, we'll have to do a new 'On Tour' thread in 2020.
