Two-Fer Tuesday and Game Updates

With the number of games of late and assorted other topics to consider, units are making their way off the painting desk at a rate faster than I can take the time to photograph them.  In an attempt to clear the logjam at the photo booth, two units from the 1799 project debouch from the painting desk.

First up, are a dozen figures for the Austrian Dragoon Regiment #2 as seen in their early bicorn.  Handsome figures from AB Miniatures.

Next off the workbench are a dozen Russian Cossacks from Eureka Miniatures.  

One good attribute of these Russian cavalry is that these same figures can make appearances in both the Russian SYW and Napoleonic armies.  These troopers will likely see more action in 1799 battles than SYW or later Napoleonic battles but one never knows when they might make an appearance.  

On the gaming front, plenty of activity.  The multiplayer battle of Rivoli continues and the battle is unfolding satisfactorily with all of the remote commanders issuing orders on a regular basis.  The battle has passed from morning to early afternoon and tension mounts as players throw punch and counter punch against their foes.  After seven game turns (3-1/2 hours of battle time), the contest is still very much up for grabs with each commander having to roll with the punches thrown.  I am enjoying this very much.

Hard fighting at San Marco

The last three weeks of remote Tuesday night games have included WWI aerial combat and two visits to Spain during the Spanish Civil War.  Battle reports for these three games can be found at Wargaming for Grown-ups.

SCW Week 1

WWI Week 2

SCW Week 3

Today's Tuesday game will see a replay of the SCW battle from Week 3.  Should be fun.
