Close-ups of some of the Miniatures

Before a game starts I usually go around the table and take a few close-up photographs.

Hard to believe that some of these figures were painted over 15 years ago.

Next Scenario.... Hold the Bridges

Three days prior the main Prussian had moved into Bohemia. GL. von Lestwitz was given command of the troops to keep open the supply lines which included two bridges. 

His command consisted of:

IR 31 ( 2 batts )

Gren. Batt. 47/GVII

Garrison Regt. 1  (1 batt)

Garrison Regt. 2  (1 batt)

2 Sq of hussars HR 3

Field artillery

The Austrians saw this as an opportunity to cut the Prussian supply line. General Serbelloni swiftly moved to engage Lestwitz. Leaving his cavalry and grenadiers in reserve in the event the Prussians in Bohemia came to assist Lestwitz.

A Chance Encounter

Prinz Xaver whilst on his march from Oberlossnitz to Kotzschenroda was informed by Hadik hussars that a Prussian force had been sighted entering the environs of Kotzschenroda.

The Prinz assembled his troops into battle formation.... An opportunity to see his Saxon troops in action...

The Prussians commanded by General Finck had the Puttkamer hussars scouting the region.

Pancerni

Hopefully, I will have this figure cast during 2026. The Pancerni are the last piece required for my Eastern collection.

2026 Looks Promising

From a hobby point of view the start of 2026 looks good.

I expect in the three months to March to have :

1. My newly commission Schloss. This will look amazing on the table.

2. The Polish Winged Hussars painted by DJ. These will be the centrepiece of the collection.

3. In addition I am working on figures for a new mould which when cast will add some interesting units to the collection. Five figures are already finished.

Happy New Year to all followers of the AMG Blog and thank you for visiting.

Merry Xmas

Not much to report on the hobby front.

I have a few hobby books wrapped ready to open on Xmas morning. One in particular I am keen to see....  Kesselsdorf.

On the workbench are a few items for a possible new mould in the New Year. I am considering adding some Pancerni to bolster the Polish Winged Hussars that should be painted by the end of March next year....we will see.

Played a few small SYW games which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I attach a few random photographs.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all Blog readers and AMG Forum members.
