Observation Corp - Muster Status

To: His august majesty Leopold IV

Your Majesty,

as you requested yesterday here is a brief summary of the mobilisation status of the regiments for the Corp of Observation

Chevaux-Leger Regiment mustered, new uniforms being issued.
Converged Grenadier Battalion mustering
Jager Battalion mustered, new uniforms being issued.

It looks like the Grenadiers will not be ready for some time as the parent regiments are still mustering and in some disarray. To provide a regular Infantry Battalion, I will order a Fusiler regiment from the Wittenland provincial army corp to take their place.

Field Marshall, Duke Frederick of Wittenbuffel

New building ...

Sergeant Fritz Oberdorf while out patrolling spotted this nice building and reported it to the authorities - who promptly ordered its purchase. A super new building for my scenics, its a pottery night light holder (made in Germany?) - only £3 at my local car boot sale.

New Arrivals at the Muster Camp

A muster camp has been setup for the Wittenberg Corps of Oberservation. An extra company of Garrison troops ordered to go to Heidelheim in Upper Belgravia are the first in the camp and being first there have been given the job of patrol and sentry duty.


Just arriving is a battery of artillery, made up from re-furbished galloper guns ..

and some supplies are being delivered ...

Town Wall and Tents

Finally got my town wall sections and gate painted and some scenics scatter added on the bases, I'm still looking more plastic castle parts to add more wall sections.

I've finished off 12 tents for my encampment (I'll maybe make some more later)....
