On the Workbench

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

The recruitment drive continues apace! A substantial shipment of reinforcements has arrived from Baccus 6mm Ltd. This order is a significant milestone for the project, providing the heavy metal and logistics required to bring our Third Silesian War scenarios to life.

Freshly arrived and headed for the painting queue:

Infantry Flags

Infantry: SPF01 through SPF04 (SYW Prussian Infantry) and essential Flags for both German and Hungarian units.

Artillery

Artillery: A massive boost to the batteries including Prussian and Austrian guns, WSS Battalion Guns, Siege Guns, Mortars, and Limbers.

Logistics & Engineering

Logistics & Engineering: The Baggage Train, a Large Camp Site Pack, Sappers, and the vital EQU07 Pontoon Bridge.

The Rural Landscape

Sheep

Cattle 1

Cattle 2

The Rural Landscape: More Cattle and Sheep to populate the field.

With the siege guns and pontoons now in hand, the strategic possibilities for our upcoming Black Powder campaigns have expanded considerably. It’s time to get the primer out.
