Vorwärts Jungs, da lang! |
The Prussian Jaegerkorps arrived from
Matthias-Manske and were painted immediately as a Feldjaeger battalion, having order to charge Austrian Pandours which should be near the village.
The figures are placed separately on small, round vignettes, to be used as a skirmishing unit.
I am inspired by the marvellous rule book "Black Powder", which describes syllabi of how to lead armies, their brigades and units. The authors tell about regular and irregular troops - both of them have different skills in combat actions. This Prussian unit will operate as a free battalion without battle order. It is a new experience following this rule, but first tests on the tabletop went well.
They will be integrated in a combined Brigade.

The picture looks a bit like the Deutsche Wehrmacht advancing in Ukraine 1941, but it is purposeless... it´s just the summertime sadness of East-European landscape all around.. |
I bought some civilians at Sash&Saber, from their AWI-serie, and I like them very much.
Here two farmers, following the Prussian Jaegers with worried eyes.
