Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the passengers. I want them alive! :D

I will not be dipping these bad boys.

But Darth Vadar isn't a Prussian aristocrat. He is a white American with a black American's voice. :D (Good quote, though)

Lovely! colorful! :D If you want to dip them, do. If you don't want to, don't. (I just think a little dip or Devlon Mud does allow your colors to meld a bit.) Either way my hat off to you for painting up a regiment. It must be a lot of hard work.

Now I want to paint my French after letting them dither. Do you want to play a little BP next time we get a chance?

Very nice Ash. Is "You shall never know security" their regimental motto, or something? ;)

I might have to take a closer look at this game at some stage.

Having a shitload of those bad boys down on the table will look great when the whole army is done.

And the Star Wars Lego in the background? Are you already using your kid as an excuse to buy toys for yourself? ;)

Lo and behold there is a Lego Death Star!

Now witness the firepower of this fully operational and armed battle station!

Nice looking models there Ash. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the table.

Thanks lads, I appreciate it. These Perry models are so detailed and such beautiful sculpts that it's almost impossible to make them look bad. And yes Mus, that is the Lego catalogue 2012 in the backdrop.

@Mike, That's a new book of horror weird fiction that arrived yesterday which I've heard can only be read in small doses it's so scary. It would make a good motto though, so let that be it. :)

@Job, sure I'll give you a game when you are ready. Me and Prim will play next Sunday too. Sugar! That reminds me,

@Prim I think with the scenario we will use the fighting withdrawl one from the book with movement halfed. You can have as many units as you like, use all of them if need be, painted or unpainted with the special rules for British applied from the scenario. Likewise I'l take unreliable for the Landwehr also.
Our commanders will be quality 8 even though they were different last time.
I'll be setting up what I gamed with last time 3 units of Landwehr (one large, 2 standard) and one unit of skirmishers in the centre of the field with your houses. Plus my new Line Infantry will come on from my edge of the board to relieve them. Once the Line Infantry reach the Landwehr they can all start falling back. If the Line Infantry don't make it to the Landwehr then they will be stuck there. I must retreat off the board to my table edge.
I win if I get half my army off the board, you win if you stop me. How about this? Feel free to add anything or change anything you see fit. :D :D

@Ash - Any chance of a side by side shot of the Perry minis and the Warlord ones mate?

Sure, later on I can. I'm sure the Perrys are a lot thinner than the Warlord. It works out historically as they had less butter and cheese in East Prussia compared with Silesia. :D
