There you go then, cheers.

I decided to base it this way so I can split the miles if both sides take a train.  I will sort a suitable Frenchy to lead a string.

Thanks chaps, glad you like them.


So thought I’d do a quick test mini, light dragoon.  Works for me!





So, some of you will know I made a cattle stampede for my Vulture Creek game.   I had invested a lot in the lead on that project and so as not to waste an opportunity….i have re painted the base more in keeping with my Peninsular stuff.  I read that the Spanish introduced the longhorn cattle into America so it stands to reason there would be similar beasts in Spain / Portugal.




My reasoning being I’m sure I could make up a scenario or two for SP etc with a little castle rustling and these will continue in the theme of logistics….


And with the help of the worlds smallest movement tray above….i can do this.

By looking to your cattle photos i instantly remembered the movie Alvarez Kelly. Although the movie is a ACW one, you can get some ideas for fun scenarios.

Very nice all around. :-*

Love the longhorn cattle! So much more fun than the dull sheep I’ve got.

Probably asked this before, what colours are you using on your bases and what type of grass are we using.

Have 3 regiments of Brits awaiting basing. Might as well do same as you so they’ll look similar on board together.
