So what does it all mean?

In the coming days I plan to show the results of my unit reorganization and explain in the context of my battalion basing plan.

I have to say I am very disappointed that there are no signs of the Hat Austrian Action and March sets becoming available in October as I originally expected… disappointed is a huge understatement… after waiting now over 12 years it is almost heartbreaking.

Where do we go from here?  We hope for the best from Hat, because we realize global supply chain issues are very real challenges. But at the same time I am exploring other ideas.  Who knows; maybe we go high tech and commission 3D printer designs!  I do not want my dream to die because of commercial apathy.

So my friends, any thoughts or ideas?

Pics of 3 Austrian Grenadier battalions








 Hi everyone;  

So sorry that I haven’t posted in a while (actually I’m really not as the reason I’ve been absent has been some time off in the sun, including 2 weeks in Spain, and otherwise having an active life).  

I have been working on reorganizing my battalions in consideration of how they will be based (and therefore the formations that will be possible when gaming.

More in that coming (as I’ve done most of the reorg,  and will share with you soon), but in the interests of providing some evidence I haven’t forgotten about this hobby; here are some pics of 3 of my 4 current Austrian Grenadier battalions (the firing units). Sorry I don’t have room on the table to include the command figures (which are all from Hat).

Cheers!

P.S.  just ordered some more sets from Armies in Plastic to facilitate further reorg of some of my French Army of Italy units.  They are having a sale; all sets are $9.95 until Sept 30th (usually &12.95/set)!

I am not affiliated with them in any way, but they have been very nice whenever I’ve interacted with them as a customer, so if need anything, now is the time; https://www.armiesinplastic.com/

Ideas for favorite unique figure poses

In reorganizing many of my various units some things this hobby come into focus.  My various units’ figures come a variety of different sets...
