What a great way to start the morning - over sleep, drink coffee whilst reading this post. Better get off to work now, my company doesn't run itself yet! JeremyJ
ReplyDeleteHi Jeremy, you can't beat a bit of eye candy to help set the day off to a good start. Have a good one.
DeleteCheers

Your British are beautiful Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteAs I've said before it's brilliant watching your armies come together, gives me a push to keep my own going in the right direction!
How many do you have to go to complete this project?
Cheers
Paul
Thanks Paul, that's very kind. It depends on which project. I intend to break Talavera down into scenarios so we can fight games as the order of battles are completed.
DeleteSo Casa de Salinas is ready to go, once I have my trees put back together. The night attack on the Medellin just needs the 2/48th doing and they are on the stick. Then we're off to do the two main attacks in the day which will need two Spanish divisions, about 10 battalions plus about four cavalry regiments to get ready. Finally alongside that I have 8 regiments (24 battalions) of French line infantry to do and then we are ready for Talavera Max. So a lot of painting and gaming ahead in 2015.
Cheers
JJ
Wow certainly sounds like it!
DeleteHello, I see you have A LOT to do. Considering the quality of the wonderfully painted figures it will take you a lot of time. I think that the Greek Talavera will take place before the English !
DeleteBeautiful job as always, impressive mass of infantry!
ReplyDeleteHi Phil, thanks mate. It's what Napoleonics is all about.

JJ
Absolutely gorgeous spread. This blog, plus rewatching Sharpe recently, are making it really difficult to not start Napoleonics ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul. Go on give in, you know you're going to have to scratch that itch at some time!
