A return to the Seven Years War

[OB]

I abandoned my SYW project some years ago. Now I find my SYW mojo has returned.  I have pretty much all the figures I need mainly from Blue Moon and Old Glory.  I also have two fine sets of rules.  Then there are excellent flags available from David at Not by appointment blog. All good to go.

You can see my progress so far by clicking the link.

A flag with the grenadiers? 

[OB]

Yes I know, the horror.  Flags were functional, handy even in a composite battalion.

Nice!  Yeah, I suddenly got back into the period about two years ago, after a gap of 25 years!

Thanks, I had a good browse through your blog before I re embarked.  I'm glad I didn't sell anything off during the hiatus.

My favourite period, so many lovely uniforms and various armies, glad you have rediscovered it!!

[OB]

Thanks Jambo.  I'm very much enjoying it.

I'm glad you didn't contract sleeping sickness while reading my blog... 

[OB]

Not at all, I've often read it.

OB, I recently dusted off and re-flagged my 15mm SYW Prussians. What are  your "fine sets of rules"? I've tried Osprey's "Honours of War" which I would describe as "OK-ish"....hence any other recommendations  welcome.

[OB]

There must be something in the air SJWi.  I have Honours of War and Field of Battle3 between the two very different approaches I think I'll be entertained.

My first Prussian brigade is now complete, 3 battalions. Le Noble Jagers you can see below.  I intend 2 units of Prussian light infantry. I’ve also got a Hungarian battalion done.

If it is of interest here is the link to my blog.

I’ve made some progress with the Austrian and Prussian cavalry. Mainly hussars.

Oh very nice.  I'm so glad you didn't do the Prussian 3rd Hussars... I'm having nightmares and flash-backs after painting those recently... 

[OB]

Thanks Mark, I've two more to do but not the 3rd.  I got my second brigade of Prussian infantry done so that's the heavy lifting over.  For the Prussians anyhow.
