Square Bashing in Lower Rutenia ... Magazine Article.

The battle of Mintano with Wittenberg V Begovia from the last Begovian War has been written up and was published in April 2024 Issue no 492 of Miniature Wargames. 

Nice to have the 40mm imagi-nations armies in print. The article was a battle in itself, one of those ones which wouldn't coalesce into some semblance of order - I got there eventually.

Duchy of Fenwick ... is going Hanoverian...

The Duchy of Fenwick is going Hanoverian ...

The Duchy of Fenwick's army has always been a melange of units. I gave them a Saxony 1730's makeover in red coats; when I added some light troops these were Hanoverian.  The basing on most of the army does not match my plain green basing, so as I work through each units re-doing the bases they'll be converted to Hanoverian units.  

A unit of jagers just needed the bases doing ... Freytag's jagers...


The artillery crew have been replaced with some new ones now in Hanoverian uniforms...

I've 6 battalions of infantry and 3 regiments of cavalry to morph into Hanoverian units, so more pics to come as I work my way through them.

Palace Rooms go 'Flat-Pack'...

 In my ongoing quest for storage space the remaining palace rooms are going 'flat-pack', to save on storage space.

I have three rooms already which are flat-pack, plus four more which are not. The large entrance hall will not save much space if flat-packed so I'll leave that be for the moment.

I did the throne room first as it was the most complex one; cut the walls to fit the generic base (this has slots in it for the walls).
After a bit of trimming it went together...
As I'd got the hang of it I did the rest; so I have seven possible rooms that can be setup as need for story line pictures and all now taking about one of of the storage.
