Poems for Wargamers 4

The other side of the valley

I am a prisoner in the hands of the enemy,Enduring the shame of captivity.My bones stick out and my strength is goneThrough not getting enough to eat.My brother is a MandarinAnd his horses are fed on maize.Why can’t he spare a little moneyTo send and ransom me?

Just completed 2 bases of Prussians. No time to post pictures but I will when I return.Leaving for Cuba today and back in a couple of weeks.

Blucher update

Hi!
Things are moving slowly but with some more basing started.
I am waiting for some standards and flags but will proceed with the Austrian infantry before starting the Prussians.
I am working through how to base the avant-garde and have mixed some hussars and uhlans to give a mixed light cavalry division. I will mix some hussars, uhlans and cuirassiers for a mixed cavalry division.
But I definitely need some more infantry.
I am basing the infantry with a single cannon to show attached artillery and there will be several cavalry figures to show a mixed brigade/division.

Now 2 cuirassier divisions

Hussars to the front with a mixed light cavalry division behind

3 light cavalry divisions

The 3 infantry divisions.
The grenadiers have the standards and still need additional figures

To the right of the grenadiers is  a division of  infantry. Half Hungarian and half German. All infantry divisions with Hungarian and Germans will be veteran.The artillery will be manned and command figures and flags will be added.

I have now ordered some more infantry, and included a pack of Ancient British warband.. The Napoleonic lead pile has diminished quite nicely But I won't be ordering any French until I have finished the Austrian and Prussians. I need to sort through the French as some seem to be 10 mm as opposed to 6 mm. 

Making progress and happy with it.
