Re: new WSS range

I'll keep an eye on these. Hopefully you're planning on taking the ranges' focus a little further North and East as well. I've yet to see a range of GNW Swedes that I've really liked; yours could be the first! :wink:

Re: Napoleonic Russian Commanders ~ 1812

Here's a suggestion: stop tempting me to get into Napoleonics with your beautifully painted Russians! :shock: I have a soft spot for the Tsar's children. Seriously though, these are excellent Bryce! I particularly like the very dark green you use; eyewitness accounts describe the Russian green as ap...

Kettle Drummers

I have four questions regarding this subject: 1. Did regiments of Horse always employ kettle drummers in the field? I've read various and sundry accounts of these drums being taken as spoils of war, but how often were they actually used in combat? It seems to me that a kettle drummer would have a ra...

Fascines

I've noted that these were commonly used during the period to cross low linear obstacles such as streams and ditches. Was their use considered when the rules for crossing such impediments were written, or should I come up with additional modifiers for units that are employing them?

Thanks,
Tom
