Kesselsdorf.. research ...

 On the list of games is to do a refight of Kesselsdorf 1745... this neat little book from Helion has been obtained..

Looks like it contains all the info I need including the orders of battle for both sides.  For the re-fight Monrovia will take the Prussian side and Wittenberg Saxony; I think I can scale it down as needed to use the armies I have in my collection.

Game Planning...

I'm trying to get more organised planning games. With 8 active blogs it is way to easy to get focussed on one and loose the thread on the others. So I want to get some sort of game plan for each blog, each blog has a two or three threads or series of games so I want to cover these.

So far I've made up a table with a set of game lists, there are a few blanks but at least I can start working on scenarios.

The aim is to play a game relevant to each blog on a 'round robin' basis. I expect it may be more of a random walk 😀

The Return of Saxe-Jarlsberg .......

 Its been a while since the forces of Saxe-Jarlsberg tried to take the Hoflandt from Wittenberg. The 40mm home-cast armies  have now been redeployed.  What happened to the armies ?

• The 40mm Wittenberg army was upgraded and expanded to fight the Begovian threat on the Zinzendorf border. 
• The 40mm Saxe-Jarlsberg army which were all Prince August castings fell victim to my delight in recycling figures via the melting pot of doom - most of them became re-cast as Begovians.

Saxe-Jarlsberg Grenadiers

I thought it would be nice to bring back Saxe-Jarlsberg (based on SYW Brunswick), they will be my next army building project when the French are finished - this time they will be in 28mm. Recruiting has already started .... some Crusader cuirassiers for the Garde de Corps.
