Bill owes me a lot of plaques for the monument then! ;-) And in fairness, it's John's Russians that have tipped the balance. I only have six gun models for my whole force of 10 battalions and 12 squadrons.<br /><br />When's the next game?!

I used to work in big lots, but I've found your scheme of small amounts a better way to keep things on target. <br /><br />Godspeed with your cuirassiers.

However, they look splendid when done, and are certainly far more interesting than most other heavy horse.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how von Seydlitz looks all finished!Robert Herrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174794157127723967noreply@blogger.com
