I don't normally get WSS but got this one for the Italian wars articles I recognised your piece – it really is awesome and a fantastic example of the fun of using larger bases John

Thanks guys. I love Sascha's Niccolo vignette and there's a great run through of the painting technique too. Darrell.

Just a quick post with a bit of good news. This vignette was as far as I managed to get with my Fornovo project for reasons I won't go into on here. I'm pleased to say that all is well now. I've been working of a Reconquista project; the Battle of Consuegra 1097 which will be demo-ed at Partizan this year (2020). Following on from the the Battle of Consuegra game and in between bouts of painting units for the Reconquista game outlined above, the Fornovo project is currently being resurrected so please watch out for more posts along the lines of the original above. Also, please note, my Shooting Leave, Gewalthaufen and La Journee Blogs are currently being amalgamated into just one; Just Add Water: justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com
