Biblical Mounted Infantry

After steadily painting units for SYW/WAS projects, I make a slight diversion into Biblicals to break up the routine.

This Biblical diversion begins with a Wargames Foundry mounted infantry in cart.  In Basic Impetvs, this unit is classified as a 'T' Kallapani.  In practice, this BMU functions as a mobile archery platform.  I painted one of these years ago and dug this second one from deep out of The Lead Pile.  I expect to see more Babylonian bowmen and spearmen muster out before this effort trails off.  Still, work has not stopped on fielding WAS cavalry.  Several cavalry squadrons (four at last count!) are working their way through the production queue.

Monday saw a refighting of the Battle of Madonna dell'Olmo with four of Postie's Rejects.  Richard and Surjit as the Gallispans clashed with Lee and Steve as they led the Austro-Piedmontese.  An engaging battle unfolded that was well-played by all.  Hopefully, I can pull together a battle report of this action.  Until then, below is a snapshot of the action when von Baden's Guard Brigade attacks Camposanto's French Garde Lorraine and the Franco-Spanish Center.  Great stuff!

After Monday's game, I reckon it time to clear the gaming table and put something else in its place.  Early indications suggest a return to Punic Wars and Basic Impetvs.  With Biblicals coming off the work desk, I could change my mind and step back to an even more "ancient" Ancients period.  Time will tell.
