It Was a Toy Soldier Christmas. . .

The Young Master inspects his 18th century soldiers early on Christmas Day 2016.

Santa Claus brought the Young Master a bunch of British, Hessian, and Rebel soldiers this Christmas.  Ka-BOOM!

Well done Santa! Looks like BMC AWI British, Hessian and American infantry and guns plus AIP Cavalry? They paint up well but have loads of play value as they are. Well done indeed.

Dear old BMC Yorktowns! Question: who are those red mounted guys? I could use a handful of those for my own BMC figures, if I knew where to get hold of some...

The Eventual Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment. . .

  The Anhalt-Zerbst regiment musters in the drill square to sort themselves into platoons and companies during the coming weeks  Fall maneuvers if you will. A large dose of real life the last few days with the start of classes next Monday, various preparatory meetings, and finishing up a few other things this week.  But, I managed to sort out 60 or so Minden Austrian infantry from the pile and get 'em stuck to temporary painting bases.  Must carefully drill out the hands of several NCOs for flagpoles and pole arms this weekend before the usual basecoat.   I'm thinking of mixing the usual white gesso with the usual light gray to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.  Applying both base- and undercoat in one fell swoop as my grandmother used to say.

Continued Regional Map Revisions. . .

F ooled around a bit more with the revised map just before and after dinner this evening, using the Fotor app to reinsert missing text .  I also removed a few other things using the 'Magic Eraser' function, which works surprisingly well.  Now, we're getting somewhere.  I just have to figure out how to ensure that the text is all a uniform font style and maybe figure out a way to add a few bunches of trees to suggest forested areas,  Ninja AI is not always entirely cooperative to the tune of "I'm sorry Dave.  I can't do that." -- Stokes
