Armies growing

I've finished the Mannebruck army and have started on the Koneudorf army!  I've printed out all the Wulfenburg infantry and I am putting them together.  I've also started working on 28mm paper miniatures so I can have battles in a bigger scale.  Here is the Koneudorf national flag:


I am slowly getting everything ready for when the game tables arrive.  Once they do I will be able to actually fight battles on a good surface that I can leave set up in my basement!

New Cavalry

I've started to redesign the Cavalry, as I have found that the way I had them originally you could not see the color.  The new design incorporates a standard which will allow me to see the regiment better on the tabletop.

These are Mannenbruck Curassiers.  There will be three bases per regiment and five minis per base.  With my automatic cutter they cut out just fine and will be a snap to glue together and base.  I'm looking forward to getting a couple regiments printed and put together.  I haven't decided if I am going to go back and redo Arnsburg and Murnsenbach yet because they are already printed and put together in the old style and that would be a lot of waste.  This is the style going forward.  I am still sort of working on a 28mm version of the minis.  These 10mm paint style minis just come together so much faster.

Hiatus

After a bit of Hiatus I am back to work on the project.  I just finished the Mannebruck infantry and I am starting on the cavalry.  I kickstarted some fold up game tables from 4th war.  Those should be coming in probably by the first of the year.  Once those come in I can really start fighting battles as I will have a playing surface.

I plan on adding the armies to the campaign map as I complete them.  This will simulate the raising and training of the army for war.  After Mannebruck I will begin on the Konendorf army (being lazy and not checking if that is the correct spelling)  The biggest hurdle will be Bernefels with 50 infantry regiments.  I will probably do their army in waves.  20 at first and then the rest of the regiments in one or two more waves.

This approach should lead to a completion of the armies as the campaign plays out!
