The main body of Begovian army continues their march towards the Wittenberg province of Zinzendorf. They are currently crossing a river ....
Osram Pasha watches the army marching past....
Someone else watches the army marching past, a forward scout from the Wittenberg army
he makes notes on numbers of units and men, then works his way back through the forest and onwards as fast as he can to make his report....

Skirmish at Sartoli ...
A small raiding party of Begovian cavalry has cross the border and attacked the small town of Sartoli setting part of it alight....
waiting for them on the outskirts of town are some of the local militia and a detachment of mounted Feldjagers...
The militia pour close musket fire into the Begovians as they ride past ....
The Begovians with wounded men are taken aback by the close fire from the militia turn tail and are chased out of the town and back across the border by the Feldjagers...

Militia Muster and increased border patrols...
On the outskirts of Topdan, the local militia have been mustered for inspection by Colonel Hofler (whose pandour unit is stationed in the town).
Some extra detachments of field jagers have arrived, some of them utilise llamas to patrol the hillier areas of the border with Begovia - being more nimble footed that horses.

28mm: March Attack Musketeer, Horse and Dragoon - First Castings
I completed the initial mould for the 28mm figures I had sculpted and did a trial casting session today ..
in general coming out nicely, the dragoons sword doesn't cast quite right occasionally - but easily fixed with some green stuff. I'm planning to do one more 28mm mould - 3 march attack musketeers and a grenadier, so I can cast infantry units quickly. I'll use my castings for rank and file and buy in the command figures and musicians.
The 'plan' is to use my home-casts to complete the Duchy of Fenwick army and in the long-term re-furbish some of the Monrovian and Wittenberg army units.

On Watch ...
An eagle eyed observer on a watch tower near the Begovian border has spotted something and calls his officer.
Over the next few days reports trickled back to the Wittenberg army HQ in Portoki of more sightings of small parties of Begovian troops near the border -
The officer checks the area on out with his telescope... he can see a small party of horsemen ...
the officer writes brief report and arranges for it to be sent to army HQ.
