All the reworked Pontoon stuff is finished; extra wagons, more pontoons, improved deck sections and an an improved selection of pontooniers in action poses.
The uniform for the pontooniers is like those of the SYW Hanoverian army; I liked the light blue coat colours - just right for working on the water.

That's excellent. Congratulations to 2nd Coy! But would they do so well under fire?
Beautiful 18th century eye candy Allan, thanks for the inspiration.

the sections are cut-up acryclic sheet painted on the underside; with crinkle up A4(or A3) pockets stretched over the top and glued to the underside (https://tidders-kingdomofwittenberg.blogspot.com/2022/01/enhancing-my-large-river-sections.html)
