The Clash at Kutzdorf - a Seven Years War AAR

Image
It was back in September 2023 since I last had The Seven Years War collection on the table ( here ).  Looking back I bemoaned that it had been two years since my first SYW game ( here ), and concluded by writing "I must get a larger game in which hopefully won't be another two years time".  Well it's not quite two years and I've finally played another game! For this game I followed The Clash at Kutzdorf scenario from the Honours of War rule book.  Austrians  - Dashing Commander-in-Chief commanding: Infantry brigade (Austrian) commanded by a Dependable Brigade Commander (BC) of 3 standard infantry battalions and 1 superior medium artillery battery; Infantry brigade (Hungarian) commanded by a Dependable BC of 3 standard infantry battalions and 1 superior medium artillery battery; Cavalry brigade commanded by a Dithering BC of 2 superior cavalry regiments.

May 2025 hobby update

May has been a funny old month both hobby and real life wise.  There's been lots of disruption with a move of location at work, and a visit to the doctors amongst other things to disturb my equilibrium.  The hobby has taken a bit of a back seat and my motivation dipped to the point where I didn't do much hobbying at all mid-month.  Thankfully by the last week of the month I was feeling more like it. Completed I didn't complete too much this month: Four 28mm Apaches from Gringos 40s.  Very nice figures, I struggled with these as I've never been great at painting large areas of skin and I'm not sure I did them justice.   From something that's new to one of my oldest outstanding items, I finally finished the 15mm Hetzer that's been sitting on the table since last year.  Once I got down to work it took no time all, which makes me wonder why I didn't get it done sooner.  This was a nice little 3D print, that was a freebie  from Plastic Soldier Com...
