Kingsley Receives THE Order. A Second Minden Vignette.

 Maj. Gen. John Kingsley (Commanding the second echelon of von Spörcken's division): Who is this hasty Hanoverian, James?

Lt. Col. James Lockhart-Ross (Officer Commanding 25th Foot): Hmmm... It appears to be Oberst von Taube... Ferdinand's Aide... He is a Swede by birth, I collect.

Kingsley: Is he, by God. Swede or not, he is in a damned hurry.

Oberst Jakob Graf von Taube would report to Kingsley with the following order: "...advance with the regiments you have, with drums beating, and attack whatever you might encounter." Kingsley's drums began to beat, it was taken up by the first echelon, the Hanovarian Guards followed suit and the Brazen Wall began it's fateful advance.

Figures by Crann Tara.

French Napoleonic 2nd Swiss, 1815.

 The last couple of weeks, I have been mostly painting Perry plastic French Napoleonics to create the 2nd Swiss for the Hundred Days. It felt like a hundred days painting these! The flag, I think, is from GMB Designs.

4th Transbaikal Cavalry Regiment of the Asian Cavalry Division 1921.

 Continuing the RCW Ungern-Sternberg theme...the 4th Transbaikal Cavalry Regiment of the White Asian Cavalry Division. Figures are Copplestone Castings Mongol Cavalry with suitable headswaps from Russian White Infantry.

Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg - The God of War.

 Self and chums from the League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers will, at Partizan in May, be presenting a game set in the East c192? featuring Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg. We needed the man himself on the tabletop. While Copplestone Castings produce a "Mad Baron" figure, the aesthetic did not meet our requirements. A bare head was asked for. A minor conversion of some Empress Miniatures Cossacks was in order. Steve sent me the flag. All three figures are wearing silken Mongolian deels. I tried to make the silk shine a little by giving it a coat of diluted cheap hobby shop acrylic medium that dries with a sheen, rather than a gloss varnish. The two supporting figures wear a representation of the uniform of the Headquarters of the Asian Cavalry Division.
