This is something completely new and very different - the Seven Years War. A period of history that has passed by here until very recently when a trade was made for these Austrian Grenadiers from Eureka Miniatures.
The missing figure is the sergeant who is currently on the painting table in his whites. The choice of colours comes from the Bavarian Herzog Regiment and other units will follow from this theme. A great source for information on this period - for those who like me know nothing - is Kronoskaf Project Seven Years War. Have found this to be a good resource so far although any recommend reads would be appreciated.
The basing is on 40mm fronts and this will allow the figures to be used in Black Powder or similar, along with Honours of War. The regiment flags arrived this morning although they are not strictly correct they will suit my needs.
As the Bavarian Auxiliary regiments were often understrength during this time the army will be smaller than other projects. This will suit both painting and gaming time, oh, wait, what is gaming time...
These 11 figures takes the monthly total to 19 figures with 3 days left on the challenge.
The running tally is
3 x 20mm WW2 terrain pieces
2 x 28mm Norman Crossbowmen
3 x 28mm Prussian Landwehr
11 x 18mm Bavarian Grenadiers
Hope that you found this interesting
Cheers for now

I do find this interesting! I have vast quantities of Eureka SYW figures in my collection and they are first rate. I especially like the Austrian and Prussian cavalry and artillery.
Very nice!
Thanks Jonathan. The Eureka figures are excellent sculpts and well cast. There will artliiery and cavalry in the coming months.
Cheers, Ross
