Prussian reinforcements (4)

 

The Prussian Production Line slowed a little this week as we had a cracking game of GDA, starting on  on Friday evening and playing through Saturday:

So, not quite as much painted as earlier weeks but more stuff was done, some of it featured in the game.

Firstly a battalion of Prussian Landwehr.

And another battalion of Prussian Landwehr.

This is the last of the Landwehr figures in the backlog and brings me up to eight battalions of these in the collection now.

The Baccus cavalry comes in packs of 45 and I make two 18-man units out of a pack, leaving quite a few figures left over.

There were enough Uhlans left over to add another single base to the 1st Uhlans, and enough Landwehr cavalry to add a double base to the Westphalians I featured in my last post.

These extra bases will allow me to field both of these as large units in our GdA games.

There were a lot more cavalry commanders left over, so I made a couple of Brigade command stands, one of Dragoons and one of Uhlans.

I needed a few more brigade commanders for the game, so painted up the last few mounted generals I had and made up the numbers on the bases with a few Reservists that did not fit in the unit structures I had. 

The rest of the cavalry figures were mounted individually to represent Aide de Camp that you never seem to have enough of when playing GdA.

Finally I had a few spare reservists, so I made a couple of stands of them guarding piles of cannon balls to use to denote objective markers. Not sure why cannon balls need to be guarded, I don't think they are goings anywhere.....

The backlog in the Prussian Production Line is quite depleted now and I reckon there are likely only one or two mores posts before I switch over to something else.
