Good to hear you enjoyed the game 

Definitely plenty of French Elan on display, looking forward to the German attack

AWI Americans

Good painting progress on these over the last few weeks. Got them on bases with sand this morning. Leave them to dry and hopefully get them flocked by the end of the day

Nice Forbes

[Steve J]

Looking good Fred .

[fred.]

Thanks both

The bases dried quicker than I expected so got them flocked, and photographed while there was a bit of light, on an otherwise cold and dull day.



Overhead view, 2 infantry regiments, artillery train, 2 cavalry regiments, tents, commanders and casualties.



The two Continental regiments, one with red turn backs, an the second with white.



Limbers, heavy and light guns. A bit of finishing off needed on some of the these still




Left hand cavalry are the 3rd Light Dragoons, Washington's Legion, right is Lee's Legion. Uniforms from http://www.uniformology.com/WORLD-11-ACD.html

Then behind some tents (originally for South Africa a 100 years later...) Officers and casualty markers

This is all the American troops from my 'beat the price rise' order at the end of December.

I'll try to get a group shot together in the next couple of days.

[Techno 3]

Very nice, indeed !

[fred.]

Thanks all. 

I've enjoyed painting these up - although they do have a lot of different bits of equipment that need painting, just when you think you have finished I find another little accoutrement that has been missed!
