Re: In the service of 6mm ImagiNations

Nicely done. Are you going to have a go with DBSYW?

My 6mm SYW project has been in hibernation for a while now.

Re: Zinnfiguren

My latest painted unit is the Karlstader Oguliner Grenz in their earlier pre 62 uniform. The privates are Grunewald figures whilst the NCO is a Kieler figure. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xcDoaVWFHu4IzpIS-FYpThbKwMlmMQtUsvB2YQ8VkfSPvZYY048TXWS9ArIiugbw4NcfO5rtN-0_y5D8...

I have always rather liked the War of Jenkins Ear myself.

Re: The SYW makes the BBC front page...

I wonder what it was called at the time?

Re: The Battle of Mollwitz 1741 (Scenario)

First time I fought Mollwitz was around 1975/6, using mostly unpainted plastic Spencer Smith, with my younger brother.

We played on my mums living room carpet which worked well as it was white.

I think my brother won the game - at least that is what he keeps telling me.

Re: The Battle of Mollwitz 1741 (Scenario)

A classic. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

If Romers Austrian Cavalry can get a decisive victory then the Austrians have a chance.
