Painting Challenge 12

 Painting Challenge 12

Feb 3- Feb 9


Not much paintng this past week.  Since I am over half way to my 1000 item goal, I decided to lay out my Napoleon's that need painting to see what I actually need for my Neopolitans.  I found that by switching to 16 man formations, that I had a slew of extra center company figures.  That brought a new dilemma as there were more than I needed for the size of the force I wanted to build.  The logical step was to now build a contingent from the Kingdom of Italy, a force I did not want to paint.

I also decided to start to assemble some of the hoard of plastic figures I have for ancients, and medieval eras.  These include Romans, Gauls, Carthaginians, Celts, Ottomans etc.  On to the two photos.



Here we have some more of figures for the 30 years war.  Slowlyworking my way through them with only around 30 left to do.


The only other painting completed were these.  The single figure and the command stand are figures for the Neapolitan 2/5 Line Regiment.  The stand on the right is a test stand for the Italian 1/1 Line.

Hopefully there will be more next week!

      I think that I have enough center company figures for around 12 battalions, which would be 3 regiments.

      That's a lot of Italians! I sue 18 figures per unit, but call them a Regiment, and even then I only have 1 Light, 4 Line, and 1 Guard foot, plus on each Italian Dragoon, Cbasseur, and Guardia di Onore, and some accompanying artillery and command.

      I did think of doing more, but will have to see. After all it wasn't that long ago I was planing things by Grande Army Corps.

 Time for an Introduction I started to war-game with a friend in Jr High School back in the 1960's.  We made good use of the toy department at WT Grants Department Store.  In those days, ROCO mini tanks were sold for around 50 cents.  They also had plastic 1/72 scale planes and model ships.  We did it all for the 3 years in Jr High.   I continued wargaming all through high school and then entered the ROTC program in  college.  There I met Joe Fish ( pancerni@fish tales.blogspot) and began a friendship that has lasted since 1970.  A tour as an Infantry Officer in Germany led to a lot of solo games. During those times I kept a record of all the games thinking that at some point I would consolidate them into a narrative for my own pleasure.  Long about 1985 or so I created a fictitious country in the Atlantic that I called Dahara.  The name was derived from names of places on my other hobby, a model railroad All of the games I played, ...

THE IMAGINED DAHARA   I have made the decision to treat this iteration of Dahara as a separate entity.  In this way, I can keep the "Magic and Fantasy" aspect that I have introduced into our campaign.  I can then keep the "real" Dahara somewhat sane.  Here then is a map of the Dahara of the imagined campaign.  This Dahara is ruled by the Master of Dahara, supported by the Order of the Prophet.  The current Master is Benjamin Kardeef  the head of the House of Kardeef.   The next post will be as soon as I can.  I will have to take a break pretty soon, as I will be getting a new and improved metal knee. If I can, I will post photos of the 1st Regiment of Foot receiving a new color in recognition other service in the recently completed war against the evil K und K.
