These patriotes were so keen to fight the enemies of the Republic that they rushed into battle without waiting to be issued washer bases or uncase their colours.
The fighting has ceased at nightfall, before they saw action, but will resume in the morning.

ReplyDeleteThanks, slightly better in photo than life but not bad for a quick job. Now to see how they roll!
DeleteSplendid troops...This river will soon become red imho!
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans hope the flank attack will avoid that!
DeleteNice looking figures - the officer with the tricolore sash is very smart.
ReplyDeleteI was quite happy with him. Same basic figure as the British Dragoons. PA moulds are very versatile.
DeleteGreat figures and the aerial view in the final photo shows your new terrain to great effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, its just a new coat of paint but refurbishing was overdue.
DeleteA lovely new unit...
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope their uniforms don’t get to messy...
All the best. Aly
I'm afraid there were a few bullet holes and bruises but none to their honour.
