Today's post is a bit of a mish-mash in a seemingly futile attempt to catch-up.
First, off the painting desk today is the first of the Hanoverian horse for the SYW/WAS project in 18mm. Figures are from Eureka Miniatures and are part of the large tranche of figures purchased back in August. Many more Hanoverian cavalry are in the pipeline. These troopers trot out as the Breidenbach Dragoons.
Next up, a little work on terrain. Having seen Ancients armies out on the table in a series of battles over flat ground, I figured it time to create a few hill hexes to break up the battlefield. With that, 16 hill hexes and another 20 open hexes make it into the Terrain Pile. Hexes are five inches on the flat; perfect for 120mm frontage units.Finally, Peter and I fought the Battle of Lake Trasimene on Thursday, remotely, from his table (on Friday) in Melbourne. Game utilized his adaptations to One Hour Wargames (OHW) and Peter's large collection of 1/72 figures. In my mind, his amendments to OHW improve the game immensely. I commanded the Carthaginians as Hannibal springs a trap on the Roman Army as it marches along the banks of Lake Trasimene.Which army was victorious? I guess we wait until the battle report!
