So tonight I cracked on getting the Prussian army out of its boxes and writing out new labels for each command base. A thankless task, but one that had to be done. So to cheer myself up I thought, since they are already out of their boxes I'd get them on parade. So I commandeered the dining room table, much to my wife's disgust. So here they are, 3 full Corps made up from VI, XIV and Bavarian I Corps. There is also the 25th Division and start of the 18th Division of IX Corps and 2 Cavalry divisions to complete the army.

The Full army |

Bavarian I Corps |

VI Corps |

XIV Corps, Wurtemberg and Baden |

2 Cavalry Divisions |

25th Division, Hessian |

17th Division, Mecklenberg |
The majority of the infantry are from Outpost, with a couple of units from Old Glory. The guns are all from Outpost. The commanders are a mix of Outpost, Friekorps and Essex. The cavalry are a good mix of Outpost and Essex. A quick estimate of numbers is approx 900 infantry, 120 mounted and 23 guns.
So everything now pack away in readiness for the game on the 24th May, also gives me a chance to paint something a bit different.
Oh wow. That's a little of troops! Nicely done, Neil.
