Reichsarmee

I was fortunate to pick up a nice collection of Seven Years War figures at a very good price. I wasn't sure what to do with them at first, but in looking at the variety of figures, mostly Austrian with some Prussian mixed in, I thought I might be able to transform them into a nice portion of the Reichsarmee. Now this force was a pretty poor one, based on what I have read, but they fought along side of the French in a couple of battles, so they will lend some weight to my French army. They are also quite a colorful army. It took an afternoon to redo some of the paint jobs, mostly facing colors, and another afternoon to rebase them. I am quite pleased with the result. I even had a small brigade of figures to paint up as a Swiss contingent for the French and an extra Hungarian regiment for my Austrian army.

This is the entire collection

Mostly Saxon brigade of the Reichsarmee

a second Reichsarmee brigade

some heavy cavalry

The small Swiss brigade. It has a battalion of the Royal Plogne.

Not sure when they will see some action, but they are ready when needed.

Colonial Collection For Sale

My number of collections of miniatures has grown to the point that there are several that I am sure I will not get around to gaming with much in the future. One such collection is my colonials. It is incredibly difficult to part with it, but it may be that they could bring a lot of enjoyment to someone else, so here it is.

But if anyone is interested in parts of the collection, let me know and I can give you a price.

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of the quality of the painting and basing.
