18th Century Italy.....time to crack on

I need to get these based.



Then I need some cavalry - 2 regiments of 8 figures. Probably Fitzjames Horse from Crann Tara and some Croats which, in order to match the tall and slender CT Figs will need to come from Minden in the states.  Some artillery will also be required, as will some mounted officers.

After which.... I'm not sure!

Mind you that lot will will probably see me up til the year end. Given that I am working on 19thC armies for Italy, I think I will possibly leave it there and concentrate on AWI and Hoegaarden in India as I have some more of the latter to paint too.

If you look in the corner of the LHS of the pic you can see some of my AWI figs.

Campo Santo to Genoa v2 - folio updated

Following a lot of interest over on the Military Gentleman forum I have added a few more links and an excellent article from Practical Wargamer which a member dug from their archive to my WAS in Italy folio.

The Piedmontese (actually Sardinian because that's which the "Kingdom" is as opposed to the "Dukedom" elsewhere), have most of their infantry defined now with quite a few colours which can be almost lifted from one of the links and used as is or there are some free wargames standard colours which could be used.

The Neapolitans have most of their infantry and some cavalry defined too, but there is less information on flags. That's the next thing to hunt for.

In the meantime Crann Tara are finishing off their "Savoia" figs command and these will be available soon.

Here is the updated folio - Camposanto to Genoa v2
