A pennant to me is more of a flag, such as one used by ships for signaling, or perhaps the larger "flag" carried by the Lancer officer. Probably few others will care, LOL!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-38704535009118736032014-03-01T09:02:26.653-05:002014-03-01T09:02:26.653-05:00Hi James,

I actually wasn't all that happy with the Brandenburg pics; I had to do them inside at it was in the single digits (deg F = down to - 15 C) outside most of this month, and that always decreases the detail that can be seen.

Thus, for many years we just used his army whenever we need Preusisches. When that group finally dsperesed across the country circa 1995, I did very little gaming until roughly 1999. I probably might never have painted any Prussians until Jamie came up to me at Historicon 2002, and offered to sell me about 100 figures each of Prussians and British, all nicely painted inifigs, for $1/figure.; How could I refuse an ofer like that? I didn't. Joe also had a number of Minifigs from his old armies that I aquired form him and refurbished, in addition to getting doem new OG infantry. The 1813/Dreseden project last year called for an expansion, as do plans for 1815 for next year. Thus the Prussian rolling off the painting table (and display shelves) the past year and a half. They will probably top out at about 600 figures; this is still small compared to my French (1,373), Austrians (1,112) and Rusians (979), all three of which will still have a few more figures added over the next few years. The Prusians, depends on the final OOB for Ligny!

Just enough to field an allied contingent for the 1813-1815 campaigns.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-41192888008188305642014-02-27T13:12:18.344-05:002014-02-27T13:12:18.344-05:00Than you, Mark.
