Pass the Pathans

With overnight guests and a steady parade of grandkid birthday parties (three), one recital, and very little quiet, not much was accomplished over the weekend just past.  There was some time during the early morning hours to work at the painting desk before the house sprung to life with a three-year tearing through the house.  We did have to explain the difference between grandpa's toys and the three-year old's toys.  Luckily, the little one was not too interested in my toys.  

I did manage to finish a 15-figure band of Pathans to add into the 19th Century Great Game project.  Figures are Wargames Foundry.  These three stands are based as irregulars more suitable for harassment than stand up fights.

This week looks relatively quiet on the gaming front until Friday when I host a refight of the Bassignana battle with four players.  With quiet returning to the house and rain coming down in a steady pour today, perhaps I can spend some quality time at the painting desk?  Lots in work with a decidedly WAS/SYW flavor but with a few surprise project additions as well.  

There is still a Bassignana report from last week to write too.  Until that time, below is another teaser from the battle showing d'Aix' Piedmontese holding the high ground as the French contemplate an assault.
