Hitting the mark

   One of the things I learnt from the game of Sharp Practise I played at the A Writtle Bit Of Lard was how powerful a unit of British Rifles could be, their points value (3x more than a unit of 8 French line) should have been the give away, but it wasn't. So much as it puts my British army at a much higher points value than my French, I knew I needed a second unit so I could try out bigger games.
   The figures I ordered were, again, from Front Rank Miniatures who are my go to shop for metal Napoleonics, and I used the excuse to pick up a few other models that I have realised I was short of - level 2 and higher leaders mostly. I am still keen to get a few more games of this ruleset in the next couple of months and having more options available should help that stay achievable.


Thanks for reading

    1. I'd need to double check, but I'm pretty confident it's the GW Caliban Green, with a Nuln Oil wash.

    2. Thanks Mike - the google results for "best paint" give too many options to choose from for what would look good for 95th, and there's no photo reference to back up the suggestions.
      From your pics it looks like you've nailed it, so I'll be getting some Caliban Green :-)

  3. Excellent Mike! Good to know that we'll be seeing more Sharpe Practice units in the future.
