New post added to my blog, featuring the six new Russian batteries that I just completed in preparation for our big Borodino game at Historicon in a little over 2 weeks. link
Two 6# batteries firing from behind some earthworks
A 12# battery of the Russian Imperial Guard
All are 28mm Old Glory crews and the excellent Sash and Saber guns (albeit French, as they don't do Russian guns… yet).
Just a few more artillery crew to finish painting (French OG Horse Artillery, French Young Guard Foot Artillery, and a Polish Foot battery) and I'm set for Borodino at last! Peter |

Interesting how you made the guns overhang the stands. If permantly based like this how does it help in the game? Are they prone to breakoff? |

The guns are definitely loose from the stands – that allows them to be re-positioned to the rear of the stands facing backwards to indicate limbered guns (I am way too cheap to get almost 40 limbers and teams, or even a fraction thereof!)

Peter,
Good looking group, inching closer to completion. John |

Yep, home stretch, John… then I need to get it all organized and ready to pack up so we can leave easy and try to beat the rush hour traffic in DC! |

I am looking forward to seeing the entire game set up. See ya'll in Fredricksburg. |
