A Project Expansion?

Hard to believe that almost one year has passed since any new units for the 15mm 1859 project have crossed the painting desk.  I sensed a long time had elapsed since the last work on the project.  A quick look at the Painting Log confirmed that June 2020 was the last addition.  My, how time flies.

Off the painting desk today is a dozen, 15mm French dragoons from Old Glory 15s.  Since the French army did not field any dragoons during the 1859 campaign outside of the Guard, what am I doing fielding French dragoons?  Well, perhaps, I am planning to expand the scope of the 1859 campaign to cover 1870?  Yes, that seems a reasonable assumption.  While I would enjoy tackling the FPW allowing my 1859 French to perform double duty, it may be a very long time before I begin fielding Prussians.   

Sticking to the 1859 project, Old Glory 15s (19th Century Miniatures) recently announced additions to their 1859 Sardinian (Italian) range.  Added into the range are Bersaglieri, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and artillery.  While I likely have enough of these troops already in-house to complete the Sardinian OB for 1859, I ought to double check my rosters to confirm.   

Since more than one month has passed from my last Great Wargaming Survey analysis, it may be time to dig into the data in search of another topic.  A look at hobby spending may be a topic of interest or curiosity for more than a few.  Of course, fistfuls of battle reports from recent games are waiting to be created as well as more regular sessions at the painting desk. 

By the way, blogger continues to act up from the manner in which it used to operate.  Today, the Featured Post can only fetch postings from within the last 50 posts rather than my old, five year lookback.  No more five year lookback until blogger decides to reinstate the old functionality.  Blogger has been a bit unstable over the last couple of weeks.  Earlier in the week, I had to create a work-around to insert photos from my computer.  At least that has been resolved.
