Still, it's only the Russian Dragoons playing the "Size Matters" card; so far their performance doesn't measure up their, uh endowment,LOL!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-63074457276920334692011-08-07T22:26:10.212-04:002011-08-07T22:26:10.212-04:00Two Dragoon, 2 Hussar and a cossack unit are formi...Two Dragoon, 2 Hussar and a cossack unit are forming for the Czar Barry in Unionville!

Condisdering there are no Front Rank cavalry at among the French or their allies, their protestations seem a bit disingenuous, LOL!<br /><br />I just got out my Essex Russian Cavalry to get them ready to paint - 1 Chevalier Guard, 1 Guard Hussar, and 2 cossacks; just waiting for the humidity to go down enough to be able to prime them! After that are 3 units of OG Russian Hussars to paint. Then the Vistula Legion.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-37383203568132704692011-07-25T14:10:06.016-04:002011-07-25T14:10:06.016-04:00Peter, great write up.

It’s good to hear everyone had a good time.<br /><br />Gabriel, great photos. <br /><br />Now, about those Dragoons… I had a talk with them over the weekend (come on, you know you talk to your troops too) and their excuse is that all of their Allies are those tiny little 30 year old Minifigs of yours. It makes them feel like they have to carry the fight all by themselves. Which makes the solution obvious; I just need to paint more Cavalry. Look for a second Russian Cavalry Corps coming your way soon.Czar Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499205906344361544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-52984619106601313672011-07-25T13:33:37.647-04:002011-07-25T13:33:37.647-04:00Thanks for all the nice comments, guys, especially...Thanks for all the nice comments, guys, especially on behalf of Barry, the GM. Andy, sorry you missed it, but you got plenty of other games in!<br /><br />Greg:<br />As long as you have the space, and in the US that isn't usually a major issue, I agree re: 28mm. Your stuff is spectacular, by the way! I must confess that 15mm is a lot easier to transport, though, after bringing almost 3,000 figures to Valley Forge and back!<br /><br />Andy: Obviously, the non narcotic type only; had some Percocet after my elective hernia surgery this Fall - stopped that as of day three postop in favor of Tylenol! <br /><br />PeterGonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-44640669482498146872011-07-25T11:04:07.422-04:002011-07-25T11:04:07.422-04:00I have to say, I did do a doubletake when you said...I have to say, I did do a doubletake when you said you had some painkillers for the convention!!<br /><br />Sorry to have missed this game...was feeling a bit under the weather at the time and just wasn't up for it.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188043128640438712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-61476073973426527362011-07-24T15:15:11.191-04:002011-07-24T15:15:11.191-04:00geat looking game lots of figures lots of great ph...geat looking game lots of figures lots of great photos<br />Cheers<br />KentGalpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952052968594252937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-61690960977342429372011-07-24T12:41:44.451-04:002011-07-24T12:41:44.451-04:00Bloody hell, that's impressive!!Bloody hell, that's impressive!!Iannickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589745325402476568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-12263521959279987372011-07-24T09:20:33.416-04:002011-07-24T09:20:33.416-04:00Great looking battle. 28mm is the way to go.
