Army Reviews & Winter Quarters
« on: December 24, 2016, 11:17:27 AM »
As the armies of  France, Austria, Prussia and Great Britain withdraw into winter quarters, the final army reviews of the year have taken place

First up, the Austrians and Reichsarmee

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

Most impressive indeed. Now roll on the Prussians !

Weren't some of these units shown on the now defunct Steve Dean forum ? I think the Austrians in red small clothes were painted by Steve himself, while quite a few of the other regiments were done by Carl, a.k.a Raven. Or am I mistaken ?

No, you are correct. Steve went mad with all the white (the pre1757 coloured breeches were a health and safety concession on my part).  Carl Robson did quite a few, though the vast majority are through Letihen studios.

And as for the Prussians (again mostly done by carl), the photos have disappeared! I suspect Camp Freddy's paranoia strikes again!

Inspirational stuff - Brandy and Cigars at the ready!!
As the vulture flutters down,
The snake sheds it\'s dove,
Willem\'s cutting off his fingers,
So they\'ll fit into the glove.... http://captaingeneral.co.uk

Bloody impressive!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
