Markers!

A hasty job, and either I miscounted or somehow misplaced one but I substituted where necessary. Some of the figures are commercial casualties right out of the box but there are a handful of lame veterans with broken ankles and a few classic crawling Airfix figures who just didn't fit well into the ranks.  

The picture also shows some of my old markers, mostly buglers and drummer, on hand to use for various purposes over the years. I might use them to mark units that need to rally after losing a melee (assuming I add a " disorder" or "must rally after losing melee" or similar rule) or something else. 

The dice are just sitting on the stand so they can be easily adjusted. It means they are more easily knocked askew if one isn't careful, but so far it hasn't been a problem. 

I still haven't found the cowardly 7th cavalry deserter yet,
so slightly modified one of the Atlantic troopers to take his place.

The title of course, refers to the parade ground order: "Markers!" which was the order for those soldiers designated as 'right markers' to march on to the parade square to the location designated by the RSM before the rest of the battalion etc was ordered to fall in and align themselves on the markers.
