Don’t be silly. I checked many times as the flags were twats to get on.
They aren’t great to be fair so I’ve squashed them up and nobody will notice, sssshhh.
I also swapped officers rifle for a spontoon just to be a total rebel.
I haven’t seen Catherine, it’s on Sky and I won’t pay them a penny for there bollocks, I’ll wait for a stream provider to pick it up or dvd bucket job.
Am I right in thinking they’ve concentrated on her later life? Quite interesting if so, as almost everything previously produced has focused on the juicy bit with poor Prussophile Peter.

Poor Peter.
Here’s a fun ‘What if?’ ... Peter isn’t skewered by Ekaterina’s Goons and provides Friedrich with the Russian Army at his disposal for next campaign season in 1763... Friedrich tells Maria to shove her Treaty right up the Habsburg.... and game on! Again.

A very different europe, after austria lays waste to prussia, reclaims silesia and Poland and reasserts dominance over the German States.

Bonaparte takes on the Holy Roman empire and wins spectacular victories, before being overwhelmed. Fat Louis is put on the throne at the point of foreign bayonets and the price of his son's throne is a Hapsburg on the Spanish throne.
When the French finally throw off the Bourbon yoke, the second revolutionary wars gut Europe and spread to the Americas where dissident slave owners make common cause with the revolutionaries.
In 1914, republican France attacks the Rhineland to throw off the absolutist yoke of the Hapsburgs. They are greeted as liberators and the Russians cooperate with the rump of Prussia to attack the Hapsburg empire. A communist with a pathetic excuse for a moustache takes control of the rump of the Hapsburg empire and builds a military industrial complex which takes Germany state by state, Britain, badly bruised fighting the French and Prussians in the Great War, stays its hand and maintains neutrality patrols to stop Unionist sympathisers supplying the French. The Tsar, declares a Holy War against Austrian expansionism.

They are nice indeed.
I painted pants today. Precisely 30 min to get these effects with the CP, which I'm determined to use for this project. This video I well worth watching if you want to go beyond what I consider to be subpar 'tabletop' results with oil staining and weird pooling:

Mind, it's a good 1:40:00, so on the longer side of these sorts of things.
About another hour spent and they're now here (including one of the sabot bases):

They are and that’s a good effect you’ve achieved. I see spending a couple of hours on a video in my near future.
