Here, von Rankl's Astrovian infantry brigade, supported by two light guns, and escorted by the French Hussars of regiment Nassau Saarbrucken, is crossing a stream en route to a rendezvous with the main French army.
Meanwhile, speculation is rife as to whether the Prussians will join the fray, and if they do, in what strength. The newly completed Hussars of HR1 (Sjekely) are certainly spoiling for a fight...
Other news:
Last week was on our annual pilgrimage to Harlaxton for Tai Chi summer school, which included weapons training using Broadswords! What's not to like?!!
Above: Our home for a week!
Below: wielding Broadswords!
So, I'm refreshed, renewed, re-energised, and currently engaged in the final preps for Partizan, which is almost upon us.
Expect a few updates leading up to the show as over the coming week I'll be building up to the battle with a little bit of scenario background to whet the appetite.
Your new hussars look terrific!
ReplyDeletePhil,

Hope the game goes well at Newark.

The lads in that fourth photo aren't very lifelike are they?
ReplyDeleteTsk tsk Phil - I thought better of your painting skills.
Wonderful post Phil and like Jim, I think your Hussars look superb. Very much enjoyed your photo at the retreat. Looking very fit!
