Very fast service from Perrys & Royal Mail. I think there are the makings of a nice command vignette here. Maybe a chest with a map on it and perhaps some light refreshments if time allows.

I really like that set by the Perry's. Shame I have no AWI French, yet...

They are also extremely good value at £11.50.
I feel that it needs to be broken down into small conversations rather than a big conference with people pointing in different directions. I've done enough of those in real life to find them any fun.

BTW I've checked out the CD and it still plays so I won't be gluing them onto that one just in case there are any fans of The Mighty Mighty BossTones among us.

Ah - I wondered who was driving up the market value for Bryan Adams CDs... personally, I suspect digging deep enough in the Aussie shed might turn up some exciting 1996 PC games on CD. Not really sure about the Karma of using Lemmings for a command base.

I think painting figures red British style would look cool. If its your imagination and you can't be incorrect.
Uniforms of the 18th century were very similar, I often wonder if the British, French, Prussians, Russians used the same tailors.

I bought these last year and finished them last week, easy to paint.
Purchased 2 sets, the second set I am going to back date them for SYW.

I have Jean Luc Pickard my imagination scoundrel who is the tailor to the Tibeian Army and Navy, he buys, sells, borrows and steals uniforms from across Europe. Making huge profits, this allows me to field figures I want in uniforms I like in my 18th century armies.

Looking at such wonderful figures nearly made me choke. Heresy? They'll give a mediocre painter like me pleurisy.
