Polish Winged Hussar.....Teaser

The PWH arrived this morning..... they are absolutely magnificent.

David has done a marvellous paintjob, coupled with the hand painted flags by Mark.

This project spanned many years and one that looked like it would never be completed. The amount of milliputing and soldering was beyond the call of duty.

There are 30+ completely unique PWH, all are different.

I attach a couple of photographs of just three figures.

Not sure when they will be based. Hopefully, before Spring.

Thanks to All who have made this project come to life.

Update

The painted Polish Winged Hussars are due to arrive on Wednesday. I have seen photographs and they truly look amazing. In addition there are a number of painted SYW 'specials'.

I have completed all the sculpts for the next mould. Some quite unique miniatures.

My Schloss has been made and is in the process of being painted. 

The game ' Hold the Two bridges' is still in progress. Like all my table settings they can take sometime to complete as they are often a sideshow to other hobby related projects. I attach a few photos....

More photos from the Game

The game is still in the balance. 

On the workbench I have made a von Kleist Croat marching and a head for the von Kleist horse grenadiers.

DJ has made good progress painting the Polish Winged Hussars. Plenty of photos on the AMG Forum.

Hoping to receive the PWH and numerous other vignette pieces in a couple of weeks.

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.

More on the AMG Forum.

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.
