They don't count! They are part of the planned completion of my 1809 army.



However I was looking at OOB for British Peninsular at lunch. BUT I HAVEN'T BOUGHT ANY.

They are another complete army.
Other wise I could claim that any ancient army I purchased was part of my Early Imperial Roman army. I could go on like this

Early Imperial Roman
Parthians
Dacians
Middle imperial Romans
Late Imperial Roman
Pictish
Saxon
Danish
Anglo Saxon
Norman

See they are are linked one to another- I could go on to WW2 linking one army to the next as part of the same Project" if needed.

You think the Normans were in the same army as the Dacians?

I mean, it's a bold assertion.

May I be so forward as to draw your attention to the Order Of Battle of the French "Grand Army" in 1809?

No I just progressed from Army A to one opponent , say Army B and then to an opponent to Army B... say Army C. etc.

[Last Hussar]

Where as mine are part of them same army.

If I were to buy Peninsular British then I would have started a new army, even though the opponent and the year are the same.

just paint. The more you do it the better you become. Also put some time into the bases as they can make poor or average paint jobs looks quite acceptable (and vice versa!). Try not to be too anal and self critical with the neatness. This is 10mm and no you will not achieve the standard of some figures you see on the internet so trying too hard is the path to madness
