Been an Even Longer Time…

Yes, another deep dive into The Lead Pile today.  On this excavation, I pulled out 20 Three Armies' Spanish infantry.  These figures were purchased many years ago.  Not even sure if these figures are still available.  A handful of these Spanish figures remain in the bins of unpainted figures but not enough to form up another regiment of foot.

These 20 figures muster out as Regiment Inmemorial Del Rey with its violet facings.  Flags are from Adolfo Ramos.  While I did not have an illustration of the grenadiers' bag, I tried an impressionist view of how it may have appeared.  

Similar to the 28mm Punic Wars project that last saw a new addition about four years ago, the 28mm Napoleonics project last saw a new unit march out from the painting table in January of 2021.  The Napoleonics project has been waiting for a new unit for even longer than did the Punic Wars project.

After pushing out two units from two seemingly dormant projects, efforts return to tackling some of the more active projects.  One of those is the 18mm SYW/WAS project which will see some more Piedmontese mustering out shortly.  These upcoming Piedmontese are relevant since next game up on the table is a look at the War of Polish Succession fought in Northern Italy in 1734.

Another Great Wargaming Survey analysis is in work too as a reminder that the 2025 survey is coming up in August.
