More FPW Prussians

Following up on the handfuls of German commanders (see FPW Prussian Commanders), more Germans emerge from the painting desk.  In fact, painting efforts at present seem to be almost solely centered on fielding German units for the project expansion.  Since a large French army has already mustered out long ago for the Franco-Austrian War project, does adding Germans and expanding to include the 1866 and 1870 conflicts represent a supplement or a new project?  How would you classify it?

Out from the photo box today marches the 31st IR.  These 48 figures in three 16-figure battalions are all from Lancashire Games.  As mentioned before, I think the advancing Prussians are excellent.  More Prussians are in the painting queue along with more Bavarians as well.  Allan, from Lancashire Games, sent out a sample pack containing enough figures to field one battalion each of Baden and Wurttemberg infantry.  These figures are equally nice and presently receiving a slap of paint.  My early August order, long held up in Irish Customs appears to be finally(!) on the move.  Royal Mail reported this week that the package has hit the USA and is currently languishing in the port of Los Angeles.  Getting closer but not here yet!

On the previous post on blog anniversary and battle reporting, reader response was outstanding.  Thanks to all that took the time to contribute.  One reader sent his response via email (shy fellow that he is) and brought up the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Observer Effect.  Interesting topic to ponder and explore another time.  Thoughts on the paradox of modern wargaming are rumbling around in my head as well.  For now, back to the painting desk.
