Back to Naps...

Not sleeping - but back to 20mm Napoleonics. A little while ago a chum convinced me to build an army to play with him. Now, I have have painted hundreds of 1/72 Naps in the past, then sold them in favour of 10mm. But chum wants to play something more tactical, and 20mm is a nice scale to paint, so here I am once again painting something I have painted before. Deja vu...

The start of my Lasalle Peninsular French - one battalion of converged Carabiniers (Elite Light Infantry), two battalions of converged Grenadiers in bicorn (Elite Infantry) a couple of commanders and artillery limbers. The infantry are Hat and the officers and artillery train are the venerable and barely usable Airfix models. Those sculpts are approximately my vintage. In the queue are Newline 20mm infantry to fill out the regulars and maybe some other plastics.

The pandemic has created absolute havoc in my day job as a university department chair and professor - but it should prove to give me additional hobby time once the chaos of sudden class closures and campus research closure starts to settle down. HA! Still have an 18% budget cut to manage....
