The 97th, the Earl of Ulster's Regiment

There has been a bit of a pause in gaming activity this past week or so here in GHQ with Phil being off in Cornwall for some R&R with his family. That has enabled me to press on with another British infantry regiment for my Crimean War project, this being the 97th, the Earl of Ulster's Regiment ~

The figures are of course from Great War Miniatures, the flags from North Star and the bases as ever from Warbases ~

There now remains one more regiment ready to pass across the painting desk and muster into GHQ as the 88th, the Connaught Rangers {together with six Roosian Dragoons gifted by chum Colin Ashton} and the original collection as I envisaged it is done! 

However, 'as any wargamer kno', no project is ever truly done and this one of mine is no exception. Still lurking in the Lead Pimple are the 42nd, the Black Watch, to round out my Highland Brigade, my recently acquired Eureka Miniatures Roosian Field Dressing/casualty vignettes, some Foundry Cossacks, a Perry Miniatures Cossack cart, some Eureka Miniatures Cossack scouts and five battalions of Great War Miniatures French infantry together with one battalion of Foundry Zouaves and two command vignettes. The latter French elements are scheduled to be my over winter project {DV} together with my Kickstarter pledge of Matt's Footsore Vikings. At least that's the current plan, and we all know what befalls plans...
