A quick dash home during the PAUSEX to do see Herself and do some laundry, also found some recents buys waiting for me. Some of them are related to my graduate courses, but two were not.
25mm Minifigs...<ahem> Napoleonic French
Now before we all run off screaming and calling for an investigation and a committee to commit me to an insane asylum, let me be clear. This is NOT the start of some massive project, nor have I suddenly been whacked on the coconut. I am a devotee of The Portable Wargame series of rules and I have the Napoleonic variant that I've used for both 18th century and 19th century games.
A number of years ago, a friend, Joe S., a fellow member of the Society of Daisy, gifted me some British Napoleonic figures painted somewhat in an Imagi-Nation style. They have lain dormant, unbased, but painted. I could not in good conscience part with them. So, the next best thing was to acquire an opponent for them. The sticky bit was they needed to be "true" 25mm figures.
A fortunate find on TMP led me to pull the trigger and purchase these. I am now only in the need of artillery and gunners and maybe a dozen generals to complete this project.
And speaking of the kindness and generosity of friends....
A package arrived from Blighty from my friend Brian C., with a very nice donation of vehicles for my Irish Civil War project. The Crossley tenders will be converted to Gub'mint use, but I might keep the staff car in its original colours. Many thanks, Brian!
Now...to pack up the overnight bag with fresh laundry and go back to the Digital Wars of Peace.
