With no games on last week's schedule, I actually found time to put in a few meaningful painting sessions between numerous competing distractions. After mustering out WotR mounted knights, painting focus shifted gears decisively toward 15mm FPW work.
First out from the painting desk are two handfuls of German commanders. These 16 mounted officers are in a mix of uniform and come from one bag of Old Glory figures. One bag of officers ought to be enough to get me started. The figures represent brigade commanders (based singly) and division/corps commanders (based in pairs). Serviceable figures all. Commanders making it into the painting queue and out the other side suggests that a gameable force nears.
Lots more on the painting desk and a few completed units awaiting the camera. Expect additions to Prussian and Bavarian infantry and several batteries coming up. There are even a couple of sample units of Baden and Wurttemberg infantry in the painting queue that Allan from Lancashire Games sent that managed to pass through the tariff blockade.
On the topic of tariffs and the Royal Mail's stoppage of shipping to the US, I placed an order with Lancashire Games on 04 August to take advantage of their summer sale. This order was placed several weeks before the 29 August tariff launch. I figured that this package should slip through unscathed before the deadline. Since 13 August, the package has been stopped in Irish Customs. After more than a month of "Pending" status in tracking, on 12 September I received an email from Royal Mail stating that the package has left the UK. We will see if the package makes it stateside and whether I owe any extra duties once it lands on my doorstep.
Nice officers. Good luck on your package. My big book purchase was pretty tariff so hopefully you will get the stuff w/o extra cost.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe! My understanding is that books and media ship without tariff.
DeleteGreat looking Prussian command!
