Prussian IR 3 does what it does best.....

Run!!!!

Keith close to victory..... then IR3 ran.... disgracing itself as at Dresden. Keith was also wounded during the action.... the reason for the white loop on the figure.

The game is once again in the balance. With the Austrian dragoons charging Prussian converged grenadier batt. 33/42 and the Austrian grenadiers about to fire a devastating first volley into the flank of IR12.

Moska continued

The Prussian cuirassiers crushed the Austrian cuirassiers. 

The cavalry melee lasted one move leaving the Austrians with 180 casualties(6 figs) and the Prussians 60 (2 figs). The Grenzer lancers watching on decided to ride off into the sunset  ...... Fortunately the Austrian grenadiers were made of better stock and reformed closer to Moska.

The Prussians continued to advance.

Moska

Not much hobby time last week. Hopefully, this week I can finish the scenario based in Lusatia.

Keith has had to call on some of his reserves. 

Will the Austrians hold their nerve!

Another Suren Conversion

I have always admired and enjoyed looking at the Rochling painting of Zorndorf.

A number of  the characters in the artwork I have already copied in miniature.

Whilst once again looking at this wonderful artwork I realised I had never made a Prussian Adjutant-General of Cavalry .... the mounted officer in white coat, left-centre of first photograph.

So yesterday I converted a mounted Suren figure.

I remain usure if the Adjutant had red lapels as per Mollo or a plain white coat with red collar as per Menzel.... I will continue to research......

Saxon troops set off to Poland

The start of the long march to Poland.

Fortunately, the alliance with Prussia allows for a shorter journey. 

These incidental photo-shoots add backstory and visual interest to the campaign. In conjunction the recent pen and inks from A.S. and those from Bob Marrion add further visual impact to the 'Campaign Papers'.

Over the weekend I hope to take further photos of the march.
