Back to the Tatars

Back to prepping.

Last of the Tatar cavalry, having few suitable light horses. Although I have a bag full of figures!

Started another 18 figure unit. This will give me four such units when painted.

When painted they are very colourful.

Game in Motion

On the tabletop is a scenario for a future 'Tabletop Teasers' publication by Charles S. Grant.

Currently I have had eight moves. With some interesting outcomes.

Pancerni

Just finished prepping the first two figures for the Pancerni contingent.

Photos from a Campaign game.

Played many years ago. Not sure who won. I would have to look through the Campaign notes. The Campaign was fought over a number of years.

Hopefully, my new campaign will be as enjoyable. A friend from Germany has done some pen and ink sketches of 'Easterners' to add character to the Campaign. The Pancerni commander is a real treat.

Forthcoming Campaign

Having come up with a suitable backstory, the new campaign will be based in Saxony, Lusatia and Poland.

I wanted a different theatre of operations as my last campaign was set in Silesia, Bohemia, East Prussia and Saxony.

Fortunately, having all the Brabant and Horace St. Paul publications which are graced by wonderful maps by Neil Cogswell I can plot each scenario with fine detail for events set in Saxony and Lusatia. 

Unfortunately, Poland is not documented in detail for the 18th century. I managed to purchase a copy of a map drawn of  Poland in the 1730's which I will use as the base map. For tabletop detail I will continue to search for suitable maps but I may well use my 1980's Warplan 5/5 to create some games.

I am eager to see my new Schloss on the table.

Regiment Voronezhskiy

Finished basing this Russian regiment today. 

Not sure you can see in the photos but the Russian infantry do not have buttons on cuffs and those in waistcoats have green cuffs...... this applies to all infantry regiments during this period. Red button lace on coats had been removed, however, I decided officers, ncos would retain that distinction.
