"troops, were do you want me to find them, do you want me to make some?"
Our groups next year's demo game will be Ligny, 1815.
I know it's 10 months away but I'm taking stock of my French & Prussian armies, looking for gaps & shortfalls etc.
Amongst some others, it's noticeable I'm short some plain old French line. I go looking in my commodious Bits Box & unexpectedly find…….some 30 unpainted/poorly painted metal (Hinton Hunt) French line.
Painted & tricked out with Plastic command figures (which match perfectly), I'll have the 3 extra battalions I need. And nice ones at that.
The forgotten figures have been there for years, totally forgotten. The only identification in the plastic bag is a hand written note that says: "genuine Hinton Hunt NOT Clayton castings." Vintage!
paints brigs for the British fleet.
