QuoteWhen sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions

So...

I don't know where my unpainted Russian figures are, and I need to make some 'Square' markers up.

And to shut Orcs up, Wally seems to have shut the business; the website is available to buy.  Some of the terrain is on the Heroics site, but it looks like I won't be able to but the Prussians.

But more - where the hell are the Russians?

That's a real shame, I have used his really useful trays for most of my figures. Bought £50 worth last year and only have about 3 left.

I blame Last Hussar for not buying those Prussian armies  :D  :D  :D

What the hell did I do with them?

If I can't find them, Sunjester will have to use the Russians.

No strips = no "prepared" markers

No prepared markers = Russians at a disadvantage v cavalry.

Ergo Sj will have to be the Russians.

I've got some Dutch Leopard 2s. They could count as French in 1812, surely?

I wish I knew what I'd done with my unpainted Russians. I was hoping to do all of Borodino. I'll have to look at the spare Austrian and French Artillery and crews if I can't get any more guns.

You might get away with 6MM for the cannon, using larger cannon as proxies, or even Rennaisance cannon.

For the crew you could stick an extra piece of card under their base to make them a bit taller.
