A New Book...



This lovely little book arrived today...


Armies of the War of 1812
By Gabriele Esposito...

Some of you may have seen some or even all of the colour plates before...

But its rather nice to have them all together in a book...


I am particularly taken by all the different Militia units... whether most of them actually saw combat is neither here nor there as it wont stop me painting them ...If and when I get around to revisiting this period...


I am off to Partizan tomorrow...
Hopefully I will see some of you there...


All the best   Aly

    1. It was a jolly good day indeed...
      I am glad you liked the toys... they have a better chance of finding victory with you than simply sitting on a shelf here with me...

      All the best. Aly
