Re: The Biscotti Wars
Still fiddling with the ceilings, not a common problem with most war-games
The Garibaldi's are back on track now, three more units finished (and two peasant buildings):
This one includes Col. John Beard as a ‘Big Man’ - the Garibaldi’s get quite a lot of these:
And the last unit (yes, the flag is missing ) has a Boothill lady, actually Mexican for my TWI game but as I’d just finished her, she looks suitable for a Sicilian farmer’s daughter waving her brave boys off:
Just one more unit (Picotti - Sicillian bandits) and one more Big Man to go and technically they're finished, hopefully before Christmas
Then just the Neopolitans, the Monastery, maybe two more buildings, a couple of wagons, vineyards and a sheep pen plus a bit of scatter terrain to go.
But first there's the Hammerhead game to be restored and the TWI game to have it's terrain rebuilt. I thought retirement was supposed to be more relaxed

I get lockdown, but I get up again.

You should take retirement lessons off EB. He's got relaxed down to a fine art...

Re: The Biscotti Wars
Had a misfortune with the Picotti (don’t ask, I’ll only cry ) over Christmas so I reverted to another red shirt unit:
and the final ‘Big Man’ Ninio Bixo:
Here’s the ‘whole’ force:
Technically finished, bar a flag, and only slightly late. Now I’ve got the Neopolitans to do and some more terrain.
Thanks for looking and you can have a laugh at them in the flesh at Salute (if I get everything finished in time )
