So Glorious a War

The title of this post and subsequent posts for this period comes from the following:

"No prince has ever begun his reign by so glorious a war and so generous a peace."

- Lord Egremont to King George III of Great Britain, crowned on October 25th, 1760, just two weeks after the fall of Montreal ending the French and Indian War.

The double edge nature of the quote appealed and I shortened as the first part seems more suited to gaming than war itself. 

This figure has been on the painting table for a while now, so took the time to finish him earlier this month. Part of a larger group of twelve figures from AW Miniatures' Compagnies Franches de la Marine for use in Rebels and Patriots. 


 As this is only the second figure painted from this group, it could be sometime before they grace a gaming table. That also depends on what 2022 brings us all. 

This takes the tally for December's 30 Days to:

1 x 28mm figure

Cheers for now
