I have plans to extend my figure collection this year by way of a Bavarian contingent to add to my French and increase my Russian forces. I'm also determined to get a lot more scenery together over the coming months including scratch building some 'down scaled' buildings soon. <br />Good to hear from you again .<br /><br />SteveBattlescalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530786317286215390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181820605369145850.post-41350381493048969082013-01-27T02:15:06.640+00:002013-01-27T02:15:06.640+00:00Steve, marvellous to have you 'back'.

My plan changes with terrible regularity, and, as a slow painter, to the detriment of me finishing units. I am now determined to finish some of the many 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 7/8 completed units that I have. But I also need to start on some Austrians for 1813...!!! :-)<br /><br />To reiterate what Peter has said (hopefully without just repeating it!), Bavarians are excellent 'value' as wargaming troops—in the Iain Dickie meaning of the term—as they were present in every campaign from 1809 (except Peninsular) and even changed sides just prior to the Battle of Leipzig. Then of course, you can always have them substitute for similarly uniformed troops (such as Badeners) or paint some Bavarians as such.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181820605369145850.post-30668866658284015632013-01-26T11:20:16.083+00:002013-01-26T11:20:16.083+00:00Thanks for the info Peter.

My own first Confederation of the Rhine troops, back some 40 years ago, were Bavarians.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.com
