The effort continues, albeit slowed by work & life priorities

 Hello;

Wanted to check in and say I have been preoccupied with work, and the real world, but that my efforts continue, albeit not at the pace I would hope for.

I have recently made a few purchases, but at the moment I am stymied by the lack of availability of necessary figures.  In particular; the delay of Hat’s release of their 1/32 Austrian German fusiliers MAC sets, as well as their 1/32 French Chasseur sets being currently sold out at all US retailers.

I have added some Timpo French chasseur cav & hussars, as well as a call to arms French Cuirassiers & Austrian Dragoons (Lifeguards) to fill out Cav units, but I really need Austrian fusiliers and Grenadiers to fill out my army.  

As a stop-gap measure I have purchased (at stupid prices) several sets of Italeri Austrian fusiliers & Grenadiers sets such that I now have about 175 of each type.  But these figures (in 4 poses each of fusiliers & Grenadiers) don’t make for the most cohesive battalions.









Anyway... enough b-tching, sorry for the lack of content, and hope to be showing you pics of the remaining units I have with me upstate before I have to pack everything back up and cart it back downstate for the long haul.

Cheers

Here are my Saxon cav that were with IX Corps on the first day of Wagram. Most are Armies in Plastic figures, while the hussars are Dulcop. ...
