League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Dear Friends,

As you can see from he subject I have come to terms with the Devil himself...
No, I just decided to raise a Russian Infantry Division, to own some Troops with which Friends can play against me and my Napoleonic Saxons.

The Miniatures to be used for the Infantry and the Cavalry are to be from Steve Barber, but what Manufacturer will be used for the Artillery is still undecided.

The 18th Division will be raised like the following OOB:

18th Division – Prince Tchervatov
Brigade – Bernardos
1st Battalion./Tambov Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion/ Tambov Infantry Regiment(32)
1st Battalion/Vladimir Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion./Vladimir Infantry Regiment(32)
Brigade – Prince Khowanski
1st Battalion./Dnieper Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion./Dnieper Infantry Regiment(32)
1st Battalion./Kostroma Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion./Kostroma Infantry Regiment(32)
Brigade
1st Battalion./28th Jager Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion./28th Jager Infantry Regiment(32)
1st Battalion./32nd Jager Infantry Regiment(32)
3rd Battalion./ 32nd Jager Infantry Regiment(32)
Brigade **Edit**
Converged Grenadiers Of The 9th Division (48)
Converged Grenadiers Of The 15th Division (48)
Converged Grenadiers Of The 18th Division (48)
Brigade
Pavlograd Hussar Regiment (32)
Division Artillery
Position Battery #18
Light Battery #34
Light Battery #35
Horse Battery #11

The Division will be painted by Phil Hart. Flags will be made by Maverick Models. Some of them have to be produced first as they are not available yet.
The completed Division will be **Edit** approx. 600 Figures strong.

Any Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Günter

Kamerad Toggmeister

only the same quantity you had on Austrian Schnapps

With the preparation for Waterloo do not forget the cognac

Because of recently received Informations the CG Brigade Strength is now clear to me too:

Brigade
Converged Grenadiers Of The 9th Division (48)
Converged Grenadiers Of The 15th Division (48)
Converged Grenadiers Of The 18th Division (48)

Now I have only to order them too as the remaining Foot and Horse have been ordered from Steve Barber yesterday.

Good man Gunther. I like to see a wargamer that contributes to the economy!!
Steve Barber will be able to retire now!

The word you were looking for was "...expand!"

excellent. Now you've helped him fund his expansion tell him to make some more ACW figures ....

More then the existing 65 codes? Artillery or Cavalry?

What would you like to see or to have? Give me details and I will talk with Steve about it.

Btw., my order costs GBP 640.- for the Division excluding the CG's.

Hi Jim,

I asked Steve about it. Here is part of his answer:
"I would like to make more and have been working on bits for the ACW range, but nothing we can release yet. I have made pistols and shotguns for the new cavalry. I have also made limber riders for the limbers I have made. I just need to dress the limber horses and sculpt some riders for them. So much to do!"

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Günter

Dear Friends,

The Year starts with delivering my Russians to Phil Hart http://hartofwar001.blogspot.co.at/ , a Miniature Painter, who will paint and base them for me. As stated before the Miniatures are made by Steve Barber, Flags will be from Maverick Models.

Basically I will copy the composition for those Battalions from Bryce' 7th Division as they look very good and I would love to have them the same way.

Thanks for watching,

Günter

Today Phil received a "GO" to start with the Russians he has. He has a free hand with which of those Regiments he begins. My Plan goes for 2 Battalions each month so eventually there are 12 of them available in June '15 and the full Division in October '15.

The above depends on my Real Life as my current employer is in insolvency proceedings

The next weeks will tell how all will run in the near future.

Günter

Sorry to hear of your employer's troubles, Günter.

However, I wish you of for your new Russian Division.

This two and a half month break for the forementioned GO to paint my Russians have finally passed and so I told Phil Yesterday to restart the project on a Two Battalion Basis.
As Maverick Models seems to have some unknown troubles with orders I placed today an order with Rick O'Brien aka The Flag Dude for Russian Infantry Flags of 16 Battalions of the 15th and 18th Division.

Let's see who answers first.

Günter

Glad to hear that you are back on track
