Back to Toy Soldiers (and Books)

I recently won a job lot of figures on Flea Bay. I was searching for 25mm Minifigs to supplement the recent lots of Napoleonic figures I've acquired. 

Whilst searching, I found a very good deal on a few hundred figures, albeit for the Seven Years War. Given the number of figures and that the pictures included cavalry and artillery, I threw in a bid which was successful. 

I came home from Charleston yesterday to find a package waiting for me. Sadly, the USPS had knocked it about a fair bit...but it was a proverbial box full of lead. 

There wasn't much protective packing, but I'll live. I laid out a couple of the smaller bags...

Quite a bit of artillery, really. More than I need. Now, the figures are not just Minifigs. There are some Old Glory as well as some I am not sure what they are. There are also a lot of broken bits. These are forming a "bits box" and may be the basis for some markers or something. 

There are a LOT of figures to go through...so my Soldier King project looks quite complete for the moment. 

Also, just before I left, I picked up some more books for the ACW collection from a friend in my Civil War re-enactment unit. 

With the end of the current semester in sight, I shall look forward to reading about something NOT related to maritime history for a couple of months.
