Having been invited to a few playtest games of Bary Hilton's new rules I though that I would do up a few units. Well "a few" is not really in any wargamers vocabulary. So after 6 battalions of Poles, 2 of Vistula what else could I do? As we are doing the Penninsula at SESWC I thought that some more of the "German Division" would be OK.I got 40 Bavarians from David Imrie in return for some plastic conversions, all but 3 unpainted. Light bulb flashes and I think they could be used for Baden troops, Bavarians had slightly higher Kusket and more buttons on the cuff but what the hey. The result, 2 battalions of the 4th Regt. One source shows that this regt was in fact 1 batt of the 4th and 1 of the 2nd, but others do not mention this difference so I went with 2 of the 4th.The other infantry are the 1st and 2nd battalions Hesse Darmstadt Erbprinz Regt.
All flags taken from warflag.com and painted over as I have a rubbish printer. Many thanks to the chaps there.
Lastly here is the Polish artillery so far. I am waiting to get another 6dr and some helpers for the caisson bases. No howitzers and only 6 guns per battery, think I might have to look for some Baden artillery as they had 8 guns and 2 of them were howitzers. However the thought of more caissons more limbers etc is putting me off for now.

Sorry Secundus, missed your comment.
