British for Coa Progress

The 52nd and 43rd are awaiting flags and base painting (sand has been applied).  For the Coa scenario, I am debating having the 43rd stand in for one of the unnamed line units. As far as I can tell, these line units were not present at the battle and must have been added for scenario balance.

As for basing, I honestly can not stand it! So I'll procrastinate for as long as possible and base up a larger number of units at once.



With the lights 'done' and assuming I use the 43rd as a 4-base unit of line infantry, the Coa scenario currently looks like his in terms of units completed.



I am currently working through 6 bases of rifles. These will be in pretty loose order and I will likely add a fence as a scenic filler.

British Light Infantry WIP

First, apologies for the poor, iPad picture. Sun has set, so no natural light to help with the focus.  

On the right are enough Victrix light infantry (with the metal add on heads) for 6 bases of the 52nd and on the left are 4 bases of the 43rd.  I decided to paint up both British lights from the light brigade at the same time.  I know these are not needed for the C&C Napoleonics Coa scenario, but I also enjoy playing Sam Mustafa's Lasalle rules and my Brits could definitely use the support of the light brigade.

Once these are done, I have command figures, a unit of Cacadores, and a large (6 base) unit of rifles all primed and ready to go.  It also looks like figuring out the photo situation ASAP would be ideal.
