Title: The Combat of Strehla 1760: The Refight
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 26 April 2023, 01:44:45 AM: Having recently finished my SYW Reichsarmee I was keen to get it on the table, so last week we refought the Combat of Strehla. It's all on the blog...

I fear this may prove a very grave error......

Well done for a fantastic effort.

Gorgeous.

[and, yes, my German is highly suspect!]

Cheers! Erm, well it's a fairly large amount of figures, but we did get a few more on the table in January...

Yes, many have made the same mistake. You can log out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Yes, I saw that. Even a "fairly" large amount of figures is still impressive... :D

I love this period and have a good collection in 10mm including Reichsarmee, although it's not finished yet, when is a collection ever finished! lol
Title: Re: The Combat of Strehla 1760: The Refight
Post by: Jemima Fawr on 16 May 2023, 12:12:35 PM: Thanks fellas!

Yeah, the Reichsarmee are a 'must Ted's for the period, but they're definitely 'finished' for me. :D There are only seven battalions I haven't painted; The Ernestinisch-Sachsen Regiment, which only fought at Zinna, the Mengerson Regiment which only fought at Korbitz and the remaining four, which didn't appear at any significant battles.
