I’ve been continuing to build up my Austrian army for Fall In.  This weekend, I finished painting five battalions of Austrian Grenzers.

Like most of my 10mm collection, these are Old Glory.  Most of the Old Glory figures come in five-figure strips.  I like that.  Jaegers and Grezners are individually mounted.  In this case, I wanted units of Grenzers, so the five-figure strips would have been better for me.  I plan to keep some of the jaegers I’ve purchased individually mounted to use for skirmishers.

Old Glory also sells a French “skirmisher” pack.  There are probably similar packs for other countries.  The skirmisher packs are also individually mounted.  I ordered a couple packs of the French skirmisher packs to make individually-mounted skirmishers for LSNC: Napoleonics.  I haven’t received them yet.

You’ll notice that I haven’t flocked the bases.  I plan to do so eventually, but as the game is under development, I keep changing out the labels on the bases. I’m only tacking down the labels with a little bit of white glue.  Once I’m not changing them very often, I’ll flock the bases and more permanently mount the base labels.

I am running 10mm Napoleonics at Fall In in late October.  I am hoping the convention response will be as positive as the play test sessions with the HAWKs.  I am getting excited about these rules.

We’ll be working on LSNC: GASLIGHT and LSNC: Fantasy next.  I’ve already begun buying 10mm fantasy figures from Copplestone, GW, and others.
