Failing that the "fort of the doomed garrison" but its not got a great feel to it
and it buggers up the troops morale.

Fort "that's a crap draft" or "cheers dumping this on us".

Some DbN units I've had a while finally being made up. French Dragoons, Chasseur a Cheval and Scots Greys. Minifigs Napoleonics are lovely!

I have been rebasing more of my old 15mm Napoleonics for DBN. I have also started rebasing some old 10mm 1914 WW1 Austrian and Russians for DBWW1ME.

The start of a small Hanoverian force for our SYW games. Venerable Front Rank figures via Gripping Beast, delivered while I was at Colours yesterday. Handy really as I'd picked up a couple of mounted Generals from Colonel Bill there.

They were - those look like the current 15mm range (introduced in the mid-1980s), which are nothing compared to the fantastic "2nd Generation" versions they replaced. The walking horses and troopers with shouldered sabres were truly wonderful little sculpts. Crying shame they were replaced, IMO.

I've been doing some more re-flagging of my old 28mm AWI collection and have half-painted my first unit since 2008 (2nd Maryland Continentals):
