Painting Challenge 14

Painting Challenge 14

Feb17-Feb 23

A short post with no photos.  Most of the week was spent chopping ice from the last storm.  I finally got the driveway and rear walk and deck done.  It did not do any favors for my back, so I only finished 6 figures.

I didn't take any photos, as I just went ahead and put them into the Neapolitan Napoleonic battalions I am striving to complete.  I will post an army showcase next week for the 2 regiments that are completed.  Still have more to do including reinforcing the Neapolitan Guard battalions up to my 16 man formations.

February will show the lowest figure count so far in my quest for 1000 items painted.  I am well over half way, so I am not too worried.

More next week including news from our imagination campaign.

 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, ...

  UNIFORMS OF DAHARA 5 2nd Lancers The 2nd Lancers were formed at the behest of the Junior Deacon of the Order of the Prophet.  These lancers were recruited from the Capital city of Konigburg, and were taken from third sons of wealthy merchants.   Their uniforms are based on the colors of the ceremonial robe of the Junior Deacon.  It consists of white coats and breeches.  Facings were of light blue shown at collar cuffs and turn backs.  They also had a light blue stripe on the outside of each leg of the breeches.  Saddle blankets were of Daharan Blue with white striping.  They wear a light blue topped  czapka with white edging and a white cross on the top.  Solid light blue plumes are worn at all times.  Trumpeters wear reversed uniforms, with light blue coat and breeches with a white stripe on the legs.

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.
