| Gunmen on the grassy knoll |
War is about to break out chez Wellington Man and so I have been rushing to finish my last phase-one French battery. They will be receiving a newly painted gun in due course and a gun team and limber, which are all sitting on the painting table but couldn't be completed in time. What has been achieved, on the other hand, is a basic war games table and terrain. All will be revealed in the next post.
For the record, the figures are all vintage Hinton Hunts, and are described in the Hinton Hunt catalogue as follows:
Hinton Hunt, French Foot Artillery of the Guard 1808-15:
FN 172: Gunner ramming home
FN 173: Gunner holding cannon ball
FN 175: Gunner - ammunition carrier, running
FN 170: Officer looking through telescope.

The last has got to qualify as one the most attractive HH figures of all time. What a magnificent and really rather sinister looking uniform!
à bientôt
