As usual, an epic plan finally comes to realisation, and I have to confront the enormity of my decision.
I decided that I needed to build armies for the Napoleonic period. The small Dutch army has already been completed and obviously I need a much larger French army to beat them plus the purchased British army.
You plan an army or a new period and it is all fun and games until you have the figures ready for painting and you realise the job you have ahead of you.
So here it is:
300 Line Infantry 10 units of 30
55 Skirmishers 5 units of 11
60 Cavalry 4 units of 15
9 Guns with 36 crew.
5 Command stands.
Optimistically, based on my speedy painting of the League of Augsburg armies, this should only take three months, give or take a year 🤣
One day I will think about it before I place the order, but not yet!
It is a bit like having children. "We are going to have so much fun playing with them."
Somewhere and sometime there must be someone who knows what they are doing, it is NOT me. 😂
Expect to see a whole lot of poorly painted French Napoleonic's on the blog for the next six months.
Tee hee…you’re going to be a VERY busy boy! I was going to add « that’ll teach you » but I suspect it won’t. Lol.
ReplyDeletePlanning and buying is an important and satisfying step in the process. Savor it. There will be time for painting later.
