After 13 years I’ve finally gotten around to finishing the 27th Division on the Russian 2nd Army of the West as it fought at Borodino.
The Tarnopol Regt. of Stavitski’s Brigade is finally done. That leaves the 26th Division and a couple of Grenadier Regiments as the only outstanding units for the 2nd Army of the West. I thought about acquiring the remaining lead, but then, I sadly realized that with my move to the hinterlands of Maine, I’ll probably never get them on the table again, certainly not in another refight of Borodino. But enough with the maudlin wool gathering - on to the photos.
Sorry about the quality of the photos (and the painting – it’s been way too long since I painted Napoleonic figures). The 2 battalions are shown below. I may have gotten a little heavy handed with the black wash, but at gaming distance they look acceptable.
As always with my Russians, figures are Front Rank, flags are GMB.
And while I was rummaging around look for the Russian lead, I managed to scrape up enough Polish Lead to do one more unit of Duchy of Warsaw troops. This is just your basic generic Duchy of Warsaw unit. Figures are Old Glory, flag was something I found laying in the bottom of a box, not completely sure it's even Polish, but close enough for solo gaming.
Winter will soon be upon us, (frost warning for tonight further inland), so maybe the soon to be forced idleness we'll motivate me to get back to the Micro-armor project. I have been working on some 6mm terrain projects, if the end result isn't too horrific, you may see some of it here.
In any event, take care and enjoy the fall.
So much lead (and plastic), so little time.
