Some SYW Hessians

Wargaming has been very slow here just lately, due to a variety of [s]excuses[/s]reasons. However, we managed to get a game in last weekend at the open day of a local club I'd never been to before; the Haverfordwest Gaming Club. The scenario was the Battle of Clostercamp 1760 and we had a cracking game, as well as meeting a few old friends, some of whom we'd thought were dead! However, it seems that they'd just 'passed on' to another club. :)

I'll post the scenario and game report for Clostercamp once Wordpress sorts out the faulty editing toolbar, but here's a taster:

As part of the build-up to Clostercamp, as well as a forthcoming refight of Warburg, I'm currently undertaking a massive expansion of my French, British, Hessian, Hanoverian and Brunswicker armies, including these Hessians (though still only with one fully-working eye, which is a bit challenging). There's a lot more on the blog:

I'll second that "Woof!" and add a few "Bow-wows!" and couple of "Roughs!" Definitely the dog's danglers.

"a massive expansion", Mark? I believe a human can't truly comprehend the concept of infinity.
I'd suggest a massive expansion of your already huge armies is also fundamentally beyond comprehension.

But well done, as usual.
