Major Richard Chevalier d'Alton

Converted this figure today. 

I needed a mounted officer to command Grun Loudon Grenadiers. The grenadiers will be painted by DJ in the next couple of months. Dependent on the green DJ uses I might well have to paint Major d'Alton.

Hohenfriedberg

At last I am now able to game this historical battle of 1745. 

Having gamed the preliminary action removing the Saxons off Spitze-Berg I hit a 'brick wall' on how the remaining battle unfolded in correct sequences. 

Without the help of my good friend Charles S. Grant this would not have been possible. His most recent in depth research which he kindly emailed will allow me to game this battle following historical timelines. A big thank you to Charles.

The photos show the Saxon grenadiers defending the left flank at the town of Pilgramshain.

Lastly the Prussian Grenadiers commanded by Du Moulin and Winterfeldt.
