There is nothing quite like the feeling of an international parcel hitting the doorstep, especially when it contains a classic piece of campaign gaming history you’ve been eagerly anticipating! My boxed copy of GDW’s 1982 classic, Soldier King , officially arrived today—safely shipped over from Noble Knight Games. The components are in fantastic condition. Leafing through those vintage 1982 rulebook pages and unrolling the map sheets in person immediately brings back that great, nostalgic operational gaming aesthetic. The Inspiration Behind the Campaign I have to give a massive tip of the hat to Neil Patterson over at the Aufklarungsabteilung blog.

On the Workbench

A quick dispatch to show what is currently occupying the desk.

A monumental update for the Third Silesian War project: the Whitecoats are arriving in force. A massive commission for a bespoke Austrian Army has been processed, representing a significant investment in the project's historical accuracy and scale.

This order is specifically tailored to the Muskets & Magnification regimental briefs, ensuring that every stand of 6mm figures adheres to the strict Kronoskaf standards for facing colours and button metals.

The Imperial Order of Battle includes:

On the Workbench – Austrian Army 26th Mar 2026

  • Infantry: Individual regiments from IR1 through IR21, capturing the diverse array of provincial distinctions.
  • Cuirassiers: Heavy horse reinforcements covering CR1 through CR9.
  • Dragoons: The versatile DR1 through DR5 regiments.
  • Hussars: The essential light screen of HR1 through HR5.

Each regiment is being expertly painted by Mersey Wargames and individually wrapped and labelled to ensure they match our master Black Powder roster. This influx of professional-grade 6mm lead will form the core of the Austrian opposition for our upcoming campaign season.
