From StuartL - British for Afghanistan

First of all, an apology, I have been a bit absent as of late and have missed my 1 post per week and failed to comment on people's posts for a while. My furlough came to an end last Wednesday, so I had to get everything ready for going back to work. On Thursday, I went to work for the day only to be emailed on my way home that I was being furloughed again. This has thrown my painting schedule all up in the air and I was a little lazy about getting back to the brushes straight away. So, my apologies for being tardy on this entry.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I posted some Afghan troops for the 2nd Anglo-Afghan War. Today I have some British to face them. The bulk of my troops are already done, these are the last batch for the British force. (I say last, but what I mean is last until I can get some more). All of these figures are by Artizan Designs.

 

First of all, a light artillery piece. This is an RML 2.5" Mountain Gun or a 'Screw Gun', so named because the barrel and breach were transported separately and screwed together when needed for battle.

This batch of twelve minis includes an officer, several sergeants, a bugler, a drummer and a standard bearer. I don't currently have a flag to use for this unit, hence the bare flag pole. I believe the Perry's plastic boxed set had the flag that I need, so I guess I'll have to order some more minis soon. The uniforms and yellow flashes on some of the helmets identify these fine fellows as belonging to the 67th regiment of foot.

Continuing with giving myself imaginary painting points, 15 infantry and 1 gun should net me 80 points (The gun is tiny so I'm only awarding myself 5 points for it). That brings me up to 759.5 points and puts my side duel total at 607.5
