Mind you, Pardew has done an amazing job with that team, has to be said.<br /><br />Tony, King Josephs Guard was suggested to me as an alternative too. This 6mm thing has really taken hold of me in a big way, I think it's something to do with being able to knock out the finished battalions so fast! I'm sure I wont stop at Napoleonics, I'd like to do the ECW in this scale too. Agree about scenery having loads of potential.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Lee.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-25142265490619261722012-04-22T05:47:07.236-07:002012-04-22T05:47:07.236-07:00Excellent work yet again Lee.

I also have Old Guard figures in my Peninsular War army, but I gave them new flags and called them King Joseph's Guard (which is a very close match in the uniform dept) and everything is cool. Your elite grenadiers will be proud and happy.<br /><br />The troops are looking splendid. I once thought long and hard about 6mm (well 5mm actually) but couldn't decide whether to go for normal 33:1 figure scales and huge battlefields or great big units and more modest fields with a lot of tactical detail. Minifigs made the decision for me by stopping production of the 5mm blocks, but I've always had a soft spot for 1/300 - the scope for scenery is terrific too. If truth be told, I was also a bit concerned about my eyesight being up to it - and my pal who was the local mover and shaker in 1/300 Naps emigrated to Oz!MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.com
