My Schloss arrived!
It is a magnificent model with the highest tower reaching 19 inches. It is based on an actual Schloss in Germany. I will take photos in due course.
I hope to receive my new castings next week. So for the past few days I have been converting officers/ensigns/drummers as some of the future units are somewhat unique in uniform.
Attached are some random photos.

A good friend is visiting on Saturday and I have set up a small scenario.
Ottomans/Tatars vs Saxons
I rarely game with the Ottomans as I am not happy with the house rules I use. Hopefully, this small game will resolve some of the rule issues. I think this is the reason I have never fielded the entire Ottoman army which numbers well over 1000 miniatures. It would be good to see all those 32 figure cavalry units charging about.... maybe this year I will set the table up with all the Ottomans!

Elector Friedrich August II of Saxony, King of Poland left Dresden and journeyed to Warsaw.
In Poland he addressed the newly formed Polish Winged Hussars. For a number of years the need for the PWH had declined but with war looming four families had raised their banners and presented themselves to the King.
The PWH families had retained their earlier armour and continued to wear.
