WSS / GNW Danes X

After a weekend gaming some ACW at Micks it was time to get back to the Danes. I had quite a productive few days completing 2 regiments as some command bases. First up is the 2nd Jydske regiment, these are all Bluemoon figures. For a change I went with a black undercoat which has made the coats come out darker, think I'll stick with grey for now.

The next regiment is the 3rd Jydske. The majority of these figures are from Roundway. The ensign is a Dixon's figure on a horse from Essex miniatures.

As the box was out I decided to take a group photo of my first completed cavalry brigade.

As my Danish gore has expanded, it was time to add a few more command figures. I decided to add a Commander in Chief base and a Line commander base. The figures are all from Roundway and a mix of General figures with some French horse command added.

As I'm now awaiting some more figures from Roundway for the next cavalry brigade my thoughts have returned to the Swedes. I now have some re basing to do as I have decided to combine the command and pike bases. The result of this is I now have spare painted pike men,  so guess I'll just have to get some extra musketeers and put together a few more battalions.

Despite being very busy with work I have managed to add my first Cuirassier regiment to my Danish army. I've went for the 1st Jydske regiment. Like most of the Danish army they are in light grey coats. The figures are from Bluemoon which I picked up at the York show last month. The flag is from Maverick Models.

My only issue with the Bluemoon figures is that they supply a drummer instead of a cornet. If I can find a company that produces something compatible I'll use them instead.

For the next few regiments I've decided yo do the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Jydske and the 2nd Sjaellandske regiments as I already have the flags. The 2nd Jydske are nearly complete with just a few highlights to go. After these I may make a return to the Swedes.

Yet more progress on my Danish force. This time 3 more battalions of infantry. Then I can make a start on the horse. First up is the 3rd battalion of the Droningin regiment. Like the previous 2 battalions these are all from Dixon Miniatures.

The next 2 battalions are from the Prince Christian regiment. The figures are from Roundway. I chose these as I quite like the wine red facing colours.

So far this brings the infantry strength up to 17 battalions. I do have 3 more glued to painting sticks ready for undercoat in.  This will complete the infantry that I need. I then took the opportunity to organise then into 3 brigades for a couple of photos.

With all of my efforts on the Danes so far, my Swedish troops are looking rather shorthanded. I've ordered a couple of infantry battalions from Roudway and plan to make a start on the Swedes after I complete the Danish horse regiments
