Barry,

First of all, that French regiment is one of the most realistic units I have seen in my considerable time playing wargames. Secondly, how many figures are in the 15mm frontage unit? I can hazard a guess but I would like to hear his master's voice.

The reason I am asking is that, if you are using 60mm x 60mm bases, do you have extra figures on the middle base? Of course, they both look great as always. Painters like you make me sick!

Regards,

Jim

Thanks Jim.. how sweet (especially the small print!) :lol:

Actually only 1 extra figure on the BLB units.. staggered central base arrangement gives the impression of more figures than htere actually are!

Barry,

I just wish to reiterate how strongly I feel so, at the risk of waxing lyrical, that Young Guard battalion is a wee work of art. I look at that and I can smell the stench of the powder, hear the rattle of the musketry and feel the fear mixed with determination in the ranks of the figures. There is a synergy in the choice of poses and uniforms, the standard of painting and the way they are deployed on the bases that takes it several steps beyond anything I have so far seen.

It really tells a story.

Regards,

Jim

Do you have a shot of the difference between the old basing and the new? Are you changing the frontage, or just the depth?

Rob the differences are shown and explained in the two photographs of the Royal Fuzileers and the Irish Footguards in the new items section of the site. Taken together with previous pictures of the collection the gallery it should all be pretty clear

Also happy to say the Youngsters of the Garde Imperiale picked up a little battle honour today in the painting competition at SKELP :D
