This is turning into a beautifully painted army. Well done. Very nice to see someone paint this army up - my understanding is that they fought like tigers and made their reputation, particularly in the Italian theatre.

>>This unit appears in the Pike and Shot Computer game... in the Kalisz scenario I think.. Excellent game - particularly good value at the moment as it is half price... I'm currently working my way through the huge list of downloadable historical scenarios. I would recommend Staffarda - really inter...
