Something else that has made me happy recently

 I recently came across this video on YouTube from Stan of “Stan’s Armee” (some one I “know” from interacting on the Hat forums that shares a passion for the 1809 campaign).  He had not posted on his blog in a while, but his recent YouTube video made me very happy; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wg3CYkf7p8&t=27s

To explain; as so many others have experienced, it is easy to get swept up in a project at the beginning, much harder to maintain the effort to complete it I n the face of adversity (in this case lack of figure availability).  Stan’s recent video encouraged me to not lose hope; and I want to thank him for that!

Cheers

Armies in Plastic sale

 Hi everyone;  

I have continued to adjust some of my units when I can find useful figures,  but it’s slow going with little progress as long as the Hat Austrian action & marching sets remain unproduced.  Sad that a company that has produced so many great sets can’t seem to get these done, and much of its 1/32 line of sets is now out of stock everywhere. Anyway…

Armies in plastic is running one of there periodic sales; all infantry sets $9.95 and all cav sets $8.95 (vs $12.95 each regularly).  As mentioned before, they have a bunch of French sets in new colors, check it out; https://www.armiesinplastic.com/

Cheers!
