But that's another matter.

The armies were deployed and the French advanced. Artillery and skirmishers engaged. The infantry are about to engage and..........
Hopefully, tomorrow we will find out how it goes.

Interruptions! Always Interruptions!
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Ready To Go
Practice helps! The armies are good to go. There are more battalions, squadrons and batteries to be cast, converted, and painted, but the lads are ready to go as are the stand based rules.
Now to settle on a scenario and see how it goes.

The Armies Return To Base.
If you have enough practice at re-basing, you can get it done fairly quickly. I was about to flock them when I remembered that my table is painted, not flocked and this will be where most FR battles will take place. So, I just painted the bases with the same paints I used to paint the table. To be honest, I rather like the effect. Wish I'd thought of that earlier.

| One of my earliest 40mm French Revolution games, November 2021. French attacking Highlanders, somethings never change, the French were just as aggressive in 15mm, several decades ago. Note the 4 figure bases, 4 to a battalion..... Sigghhhhh...I should have just listened to myself...... |
I should be game ready by the weekend.
