What's on your workbench?

Ok, those mitres look evil. No Briitish for me!

Let’s all try corny jokes

Right, that's the last of the SYW British infantry finished (for now). The 23rd Foot (Royal Welch Fusiliers) complete Lord von Sporcken's command for the Battle of Minden (shown below, consisting of the 12th, 20th, 23rd, 25th, 37th & 51st Regiments, plus the two Hanoverian Foot Guard battalions). I've painted two grenadier figures alongside each of the six British regiments and they've been massed to form Maxwell's Combined Grenadier Battalion (which was brigaded with the Hanoverian, Hessian and Brunswicker grenadiers at Minden).

This was the sum-total of British infantry in Germany for the first half of the Seven Years War, so I'm going to get on with the German allies, cavalry and artillery for now. However, for the later battles I'll need at some point to add another six infantry battalions, three Foot Guard battalions, two Highland battalions and another combined grenadier battalion.

Do 5 of them have their Minden Roses?

Superb little force - well done.

Ta!

Hanoverians next. I completed the Grand Army of the Duchy of Schaumburg-Lippe-Buckeburg in one session after completing the RWF (they're both well, thanks for asking).

Those are really lovely, well done!
