Brigade Commander

Here we have the latest little vignette for the WVS project, the Brigadier von Jung, commander of the first Astrovian infantry brigade.



Being relatively young (see what I did there!), von Jung has a veteran advisor with him, sporting a coat from his service days in the 1670s and 1680s. I don't have a name for him yet...suggestions please!

And here is the brigade arrayed for action...

Regiments Frankl, Schrodinger, and Mahler (Grenadiers)

I am currently working on a Vaubarian infantry battalion, with a difference... Should be finished within a week.

  2. Jonge Jenever would fit with my past Dutch drinking, perhaps Jenever Der Jonge?

  6. Isn't he one of the von Trippenhofs? The famous family of military men and uncontrollable drunkards?

  9. Very nice piece of work Phil. The officer is clearly from one of the Italian states and is General Imbroglio (closely related to General Confusion).

  10. He looks suitably Romanesque in his red cape to command that fine looking brigade!
    Perhaps his veteran advisor could be der Kanarienvogel on account of his yellow coat and incessant chatter in the young fella's ear?
