These guys finish of the Regiment, just in time to take part in the up coming Leipzig game.

They join the remainder of the Brigade

Wow! What a fantastic collection, great to see the whole brigade together. Very Happy

Superb painting once again with the latest addition to the brigade and your photography is spot on. 8)

Brilliant figures, excellent brushwork, and terrific 'presentation', Eugene! The effect of the entire brigade en masse is stunning! Well done!

I can only completely agree with the others - absolutely splendid work! You should send these pics to Calpe; I can't think of a better advert for their figures.

Truly beautiful.

Just a few extra figures to complete for the Leipzig game I assume. Now, how many figures would that be at 1:20?! Shocked

Salute

Von Peter,

Well we are only doing a small slice of the battle but it works out at

1866 Infantry
338 Cavalry
57 Guns and crew

Its my intention to take a few pics on the day so I will post some with a small write up.

Howdies Eugene de B (Glen)

As an 1813 man (with more than a passing interest in Calpe Prussians FWIW) I'd be very interested to see any pictures.

Good luck with the game and may the goodies win ... with the baddies sent scuttling away on the road home (Paris) in case there are any doubts where my sentiments lie! Rolling Eyes

Salute

Hi Glen,

How long until the big day? And what's the venue? Being local to you, I might try to pop along and witness some of the gaming, camera in hand, if I'd be welcome. After all, I keep meaning to make myself known the Devizes club.

Glen, Alan, Michael,

I won't be able to come along on Saturday - diary clash. But I might be able to sneak over for a while on Sunday. What are the start and finish times on the second day? Expect me if you see me!
