I am a wargamer that with many old sets of figures covering the Seven Years War, Ancients, WW1 and ACW in miniature. Most are now banished to the loft, but this blog should cover their use now and again.
Nice troops and entrenchments! Yeah, whenever someone says something like that or the infamous phrase "It sure is quiet.", it's bound not to stay that way for long!
Thanks for the compliments - I knocked up the entrenchments with a plastic base-strip, shaped the rest with modelling-clay, then glued on masses of basing sand. I did a bit more with the artillery redoubt to model gabions, and detailed it back in spring sometime. I never got to use it though, so it's now being put belatedly into action!
I noticed that photo too! The rank of troops all neat, but with one man curiously leaning out of line and looking at the camera. Most bizarre! I hope he makes it through the coming fight!

Bored, men? Be careful about what you are wishing for -you can get it.
Fantastic looking entrenchments! (and some snazzy looking troops to man them!) Well done!

Yes, one of the sure-fire signs of disaster!
