Wellington, Napoleon and Blucher have been inspecting the artillery park.

Meanwhile there are rumblings north of the Danube near the town of Zwettl where bizarrely the Austrians seem to have launched an offensive.
There may be a battle in the offing.
The teams, limbers, and guns are great! The extra time and effort to paint them is well worth it.

No more bizarre than 1809.....
ReplyDeleteStokes - yes worth the effort and it's also nice to have them for completeness of the Hinton Hunt ranges.
ReplyDeleteNigel, that remains to be seen...
ReplyDeleteLovely limbers, but a batttle in the offing? I doubt it, I'm sure those garlic eaters are fleeing as we speak.
ReplyDeleteRob, if there is a slight tactical redeployment of our forces it will be part of the emperor’s brilliant master plan and will not include any fleeing!
ReplyDeleteSo the Frenchies are just advancing in a different direction?
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd understand Matt!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to have the limbers, Ian. They're canonical.
ReplyDeleteBoom, boom WM!
ReplyDeleteConsidering he rowed himself back across the channel, Nappy should find crossing the Danube a breeze.
ReplyDeleteJeffers, as I'm sure you would realise, all rowing is carried out by the Guard Marins!
ReplyDeleteAnd no doubt the sappers of the Garde are digging up the ground in order to create an impregnable mountainous position for the defence?
ReplyDeleteAs if!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of lots of HH loveliness Iain. I like limbers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee!
