Those fields will be well-fertilized for the coming spring planting.

Cardinal,
Just one such a regiment. All the others were replaced by Front Rank drummers. I assume that you, like me, have told NS this a few times…….without avail.

Said it before and I'll say it again, mad as a hatter.

Just one such a regiment. All the others were replaced by Front Rank drummers. I assume that you, like me, have told NS this a few times…….without avail.

Would that be a figure like the Foundry dragoon drummer with the false sleeved coat and no lapels? You know, the one in the funny cuirassier's coat? I had a chat with the guys at Foundry about that figure. I was told, flatly, "Our Seven Years War expert says that is the uniform of a Prussian dragoon drummer."

Please, will someone put me right, did dragoons ever wear such a coat? Or is it like I suspect – sold a pup.

lapels may be optional

Splendid sight. The way it should be.

I have become aware that my comment "mad as a hatter" has caused some concern. I would like to express my apologies for this. The comment was made purely as a statement of astonishment that a single gamer would do this. I take my hat off to de Ligne and would like to change my previous "mad as a hatter" comment to "Pure genius".
