They were blooded at our Christmas game, but I was umpiring, so the curse is still extant for me...
Yes, mate. Still, they did pretty well at Wanneminden. What were the figures used at the 1st Bull Run game? A mix of AB and OG?
Pendraken 10mm... :?

The Saxons are probably my favourite C18th army for the range of colour.
Their performance is such that even the most inept wargamer cannot do much worse......☺

I should have recognised them- I'm fairly sure I've reviewed them. Nice figures, mate.

Thanks mate! I don't know whether to be impressed that you thought my 10mm were ABs or to be worried that you might be suffering from macular degeneration...

I am waiting for cataract surgery, the cost of which is (mostly) the reason why the planned trip to the HGM and Partizan went down the toilet. However, I'm not blind yet and those 10mm figures are nicely done.

It's just a cataract, mate, so nothing major. But, like most things in Oz these days, expensive at a bit over $4k (about £35/17/3 in old, real, money). Not surprisingly my "private health cover" (which is like calling a bit of confetti a tarpaulin) stopped covering cataract surgery and joint replacements when I turned 60.
