Title: SYW Prussian Reinforcements
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 16 April 2021, 12:23:38 PM
Six months on and I'm still painting SYW like a man possessed, in anticipation of a post-lockdown campaign. I really should paint something else at some point this year, or my vast collection of Shades of Olive Drab is going to dry up.

Cheers Jambo!  Yeah, I had around 2,000 figures in my SYW collection last October and now it's over 3,000, so it's coming on! :)

I'm just waiting for the postman to arrive with the first of my new British/Hanoverian army...  :D

Super work again!! Some of the iconic fusilier regiments on show, some of the best and most colourful of the period. Great read as well! :)

Yes, I freely admit to doing some of the most colourful ones en masse, simply because I realised that I hadn't already done them! :)

That’s going to be an impressive collection and I am sure you will enjoy the campaign doubly so.

Yes, I've got two campaigns lined up. The first will be a straight historical campaign based on Fred the Big's invasion of Bohemia in 1757 (the Praque/Kolin Campaign) and if there's sufficient interest, the second will be a Europe-wide campaign along the same lines as the one I ran in the 90s (except this time we have email!).

Definitely!  You getting those Ottomans has given me a spur to finishing the campaign rules. :)
