Re: well I liked it

And lots of lovely Hinton Hunt figures. Thete is also this advert. Wargaming must have been cool back in the 70s. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qiFAFS9lqR4/VlCAS25Sz2I/AAAAAAAACrI/EYp3QrDDHNg/s640/blogger-image-312602364.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DsD0vlpO4gg/VlCA6IiwhxI/AAAAAAAACrY...

Re: The Batthyányi Dragoons circa 1750

Nice one.

These are Kieler figures and are in dynamic poses.

For cavalry I went for 90 by 50mm with 5/6 figures per base.

Do you have any more in the pipeline?

Re: In the service of 6mm ImagiNations

Nicely done. How about blooding them in a small game.

Re: In the service of 6mm ImagiNations

Nicely done. Are you going to have a go with DBSYW?

My 6mm SYW project has been in hibernation for a while now.

Re: Zinnfiguren

My latest painted unit is the Karlstader Oguliner Grenz in their earlier pre 62 uniform. The privates are Grunewald figures whilst the NCO is a Kieler figure. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0xcDoaVWFHu4IzpIS-FYpThbKwMlmMQtUsvB2YQ8VkfSPvZYY048TXWS9ArIiugbw4NcfO5rtN-0_y5D8...

I have always rather liked the War of Jenkins Ear myself.

Re: The SYW makes the BBC front page...

I wonder what it was called at the time?

Re: The Battle of Mollwitz 1741 (Scenario)

First time I fought Mollwitz was around 1975/6, using mostly unpainted plastic Spencer Smith, with my younger brother.

We played on my mums living room carpet which worked well as it was white.

I think my brother won the game - at least that is what he keeps telling me.

Re: The Battle of Mollwitz 1741 (Scenario)

A classic. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

If Romers Austrian Cavalry can get a decisive victory then the Austrians have a chance.
