The Loose Association of Wargamers

Always liked Russian hussars, mainly because of the lance-armed front rank.

Some more Russkis on my blog:

I like your rushing green. Looks much better than the shade of greenish black some people use.

Funnily enough it looks a lot lighter on camera than it does in real life. I used to lighten it due to having seen Bondarchuk's 'War & Peace' in the early 90s. In that the rank-and-file had very faded, almost khaki coats, while the officers had high-quality dark bottle-green coats. It reminded me of references to British coats and how the officers had scarlet, while the rankers had faded brick red.

The wife has finally resigned herself to the fact that until lockdown ends, I need to openly play with myself in the house at least once a month...

Last month was the Battle of Shiloh...

This week on the blog I've got some German infantry and Saxon-Polish cavalry fighting as auxiliaries for Austria during the Seven Years War:

My Seven Years War project continues apace and I've now painted my 1,000th figure since re-starting it last October!

Here's the army of the Holy Roman Empire ('Reichsarmee'), which was mostly Bloody Awful, but always entertaining....
