Austrian Cavalry Batteries

A small update from the painting desk today.  Begun under the shadow of the four-game series refighting Montebello, two Austrian cavalry batteries muster out from the painting desk.  Too late to participate at Montebello, these artillerymen will be ready for service when they are next called into action.  Still pondering bringing Marengo to the table but other games are in the queue before returning to the FRW. 
The two guns and eight artillery crew are all from AB Miniatures.  As always, fine sculpts.  Sticking with the FRW theme, a Russian grenadier regiment may be next out of the blocks.
On the gaming front, Richard hosted a remote game featuring the 1870 Prussian Guard Corps' assault at St. Privat.  I will have something to say about how my French were roughly handled another day, probably once Richard posts a battle recap.  Until then, a teaser from our game...
I may have been thumped in this one but I look forward to giving the French a better outing next time.
