3e Battn, 48e Demi-Brigade de Battaille

The weekend has seen the completion of the third battalion of the 48th Demi Brigade from my French Revolutionry project.









Again these are Eureka Minatures. This project will go on hold for a while I move back to the Spanish Napoleonic project, for which a reasonable number of figures are enroute from Nottingham.

Also completed is this objective marker made using some Renedra plastic barrels, the significance of which will be come evident in a game scheduled for next Sunday.

    Super work, Mark! Have a question on the grenadiers’ epaulettes. Were the fringes brass and not red?

      For a moment I thought you had just decided to promote the whole army...that would be plus 500 on all moral throws :-)

      But wouldn't it be fun when the unit fails it's morale throw to be able to declare "oh that unit gets to rethrow its morale"

      "Why!?"

      "Because it's grenadiers wear special gold epaulettes."

      "What!?

      It could be one of those light the blue paper and stand back moments.

    Another great-looking battalion and objective marker. Those barrels really came up well, and there is some interesting stuff in the Renedra range.

      Yes we are rather spoilt these days with useful products like those Renedra put out. The barrels, gabions and wattle fences are the most useful for me and I always try to keep a few on hand to use as additional touches to various projects.
