A Late Result Just In...

In a blog entry I made last month, I think, I posted some pictures of my Compagnies Franches de la Marine in New France. David, of the splendid Not By Appointment blog, mentioned in a comment that he had their flags available to download. In fact I'd already seen them and done the same but then had baulked at converting one of my Redoubt Enterprises figures. I was looking to add a few Provincials to the mix and ordering these from Redoubt made it a no brainer to order up a command set for the French that I might 'adapt by brush' for them. Here they are anyway, you can judge for yourself I'm sure ~

Just a little liberty or two with the figures' leggings and footwear combined with a rather more 'wilderness' approach to the base texture and vegetation do the job for me. I hope you agree.

We have two games planned here in GHQ this week. On Tuesday Phil and I will be back in 1983 as the gallant BAOR attempt to repulse the Soviet Aggressors in Northern Germany around the fictional towns of Bikelheim and Grös Bikelberg! While on Thursday Paul and I will be up the Nile, in my case without a paddle, as the Mahdi takes on the Empire! One thing about wargaming you know, you do get about a bit.
