NEW NAPOLEONICS


I have continued to work slowly away on my Napoleonic collection.  I bought some very nice painted Front Rank Russian Lithuanian Uhlan figures on Ebay.  I have rebased them and fitted them with the correct regimental lance pennants and a standard from GMB Designs.
LITHUANIAN (LITOVSKI) UHLANS

I have also added 2 more regiments of Light Dragoons and a battalion of guard infantry to my British army.  I bought the figures ready painted from South Africa and I added some more shading and rebased them.   The infantry flags I found on Warbases.

BORDER REIVER 2015

On Saturday I went down to the Border Reiver show held once again at Gateshead International Arena.   It was a successful visit chatting with some old friends.  Also I discovered the stand of Eagle Figures and bought 2 battalions of their Portuguese Militia to add some allies to my Peninsular War British. Here are a few photos from the show:

Dumfries ACW Wilderness game - the relaxed union commanders

The view from the CSA side - the Union commanders have gone for lunch
