Now the start of the Austrians (8 more photos added)

Austrians on the right flank move forward.

Both the Prussian and Austrian field artillery will fire from off table initially. It can move forward if the game dictates.

Setting up next Campaign game

This will be set in Lusatia. 

Austrians vs Prussians.

I have caught up with all the campaign paperwork and placed a number of the beautiful pen and inks provided by my friend in Germany, for which I am most grateful. He has sent me twenty so far and I have included four in the narrative to date. I also have a lot of unpublished Bob Marrion pen and inks which I will add as the campaign progresses.

The Armies in the Campaign are:

Austria

Prussia

Ottomans

Russians

Saxons

The theatre of operations span from Saxony, Silesia, Lusatia, Poland, Hungary, Russian/Ottoman border.

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......
