I’ve been continuing to build up my Austrian army for Fall In. \u00a0This weekend, I finished painting five battalions of Austrian Grenzers.<\/p>\n

Like most of my 10mm collection, these are Old Glory. \u00a0Most of the Old Glory figures come in five-figure strips. \u00a0I like that. \u00a0Jaegers and Grezners are individually mounted. \u00a0In this case, I wanted units of Grenzers, so the five-figure strips would have been better for me. \u00a0I plan to keep some of the jaegers I’ve purchased individually mounted to use for skirmishers.<\/p>\n

Old Glory also sells a French “skirmisher” pack. \u00a0There are probably similar packs for other countries. \u00a0The skirmisher packs are also individually mounted. \u00a0I ordered a couple packs of the French skirmisher packs to make individually-mounted skirmishers for LSNC: Napoleonics. \u00a0I haven’t received them yet.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice that I haven’t flocked the bases. \u00a0I 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. \u00a0Once I’m not changing them very often, I’ll flock the bases and more permanently mount the base labels.<\/p>\n

I am running 10mm Napoleonics at Fall In in late October. \u00a0I am hoping the convention response will be as positive as the play test sessions with the HAWKs. \u00a0I am getting excited about these rules.<\/p>\n

We’ll be working on LSNC: GASLIGHT and LSNC: Fantasy next. \u00a0I’ve already begun buying 10mm fantasy figures from Copplestone, GW, and others.<\/p>\n
