That's it! Two 24-figure unit of Austrian grenadiers and eight gun-crews done and I'm finished with the bloody Austrians! :buddies: :moredrink: :vblove: :thumbs:

That's the III, IV, Advance Guard, Reserve Corps and Hungarian Insurrection done for 1809. My mate's doing the I, II and VI Corps and we're hoping to refight Aspern-Essling over two days in February.

The Memsahib has somehow managed to acquire all three volumes of '1809: Thunder On The Danube' in hardback for my Chrimbo prezzy and without re-mortgaging the house, so that should provide further impetus to the project! :thumbs:

I'm Moving on to painting the French Middle and Young Guard now. I've been wanting to paint these for years - some of AB's finest, in my opinion. Back before suitable figures were available I converted four Middle & Young Guard units from standard line figures, but they're now 25 years old and showing their age. Going to start off doing a 24-figure unit each of the Fusilier-Grenadiers, Tirailleurs and Voltigeurs of the Guard, which should cover most battles. Then I'll do another three units each of Tirailleurs and Voltigeurs, plus a unit of Flanqeur-Grenadiers for the two Young Guard Corps of 1813.

I think that's a regret many of us would admit to at our time of life.
