I have been busy with other gaming projects plus repairs to the door of the foundry (the dog had managed to enlarge a small hole in the bottom of the door into a puppy sized one and a excitable small dog and hot metal don't mix !). I have decided to enlarge the two companies of the Hanoverian Legion Britannique into the full 3rd Battalion , when reviewing my Allied army I realised that I only had at present 1 full sized battalion so I cast up the extra company above plus battalion command . The Legion also had individual cavalry squadrons per battalion so they may be introduced as well , The flags were of British pattern - but no real details I think hence the standard bearers with folded Colours so I can botch the design a bit !.
P.S. yes I managed to damage the mounted officers sword cleaning the casting up - so it will have to be replaced with a flattened pin .
And fine fellows they are too.
ReplyDeleteGood call on the hot metal and the small excitable dog. What manner of dog?

DeleteI presume that you are aware of the wonderful Kronskaf website and their wealth of information on the Hanoverians . . . but just in case you are not, here's the link:

ReplyDeleteThere is a semi-domesticated cat who lives in the shed with my melting pot but she is no kitten and mush more circumspect than a young puppy.
They are a way of using some moulds that never get used much , cats are not as 'bouncy' as dogs and seem to appreciate the dangers of hot metal more.
