Alright. Not millions, 42 to be exact. Conveniently both the meaning of life and the number of dragoons unboxed from my latest Troopship From Scotland.
Gavin has written a fine piece about them, well illustrated here.
Here is a shot of the lot taken from Gavin's article just to add some color to this post.
Thirty mounted modular dragoons and twelve dismounted dragoons to go with them.
I cannot say enough in regards to the quality of painting and service it has been my good fortune to receive from the good folks at Alternative Armies / 15mm.co.uk, other than that I am well pleased.
In this batch of 30 multipiece models only three figures had bits that had fallen off in transit, and these were still in the wrapping for the figure to which they belonged. That's no mean feat. Over the years AA's packing has improved dramatically to the point where I never worry over the complexity of a painted piece before ordering.
The new resin losange bases for the horse look sharp. It's a nice improvement over the old rectangular bases.
Also included was a set of food items for conversions.
Cooked Meat (pictured above), Fish, Dodo Legs, and Carrots.
On a personal note I've been unable to do much gaming, or put much effort into writing lately for a number of medical reasons and this package has given me quite a lift so Thanks to Alternative Armies for that as well!
Sorry for not posting more often but to borrow a phrase "good health is just around the corner" and I've lots of plans to put into practice in terms of rules, conversions, and scenarios when I'm up to it.
Happy veteran's day and thank you for your service to all readers who have served their country!
And as always. thanks for stopping by!
