+1 - never fun, but if it means miniatures get a new lease of life, then definitely worth it.

A little slow output wise. Some additions to my Spanish. 2 light Battalions, 3 line Infantry, 1 Grenadier Battalion (waiting command base), 2 Skirmish bases. All Fantassin (Now Warmodelling Figs). And 2 Battalions of Middle Guard (Ebay Purchase)











I have spotted a couple of flaws, so will touch in a couple of figs!

These are lovely, I'm sorry I missed them in Nov and Dec
39 battalions is an huge number, do you keep track of the individual battalions somehow?

No specific Division. I just keep them tidy.

FYI, I have 200 French Infantry Battalions and 50 Cavalry regiments ATM

Viva Espana! They'll be ready for Bailen soon.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
