Legs Ache In Sitting Down In The Evening

The Russians in red - red in Russian Strelets

As we already mentioned in a previous post, not all Russian infantry regiments had uniforms green. Some, like the Kievsky Rgt had uniform red, with yellow lapels and cuffs. So, even chromatic change the field of battle, two battalions of the Zvezda I painted with the colors of this regiment.






















I also made a few changes: I replaced the pic with the musket figures in the knee to compensate for the reduced presence of pikemen in the box (only 3!) And I became an infantryman in the standard-bearer for the second battalion.
The flag is from the volume of the osprey on infantry troops of Peter the Great, which is derived from the same information on the uniforms.













Next "Russians in the red artillery Zvezda will be great, currently in preparation ...


As we have already noted in a previous post, not every russian infantry rgts wore green uniforms. Someone, like the Kievsky rgt, wore red uniforms with yellow turnbacks facings. So, I have painted 2 btg from Zvezda miniatures with this pattern. Moreover, I have made small changes with some figures, exchanging muskets with pikes in some kneeling figures and trasforming a fusilier in a standard bearer. The flag comes from the Osprey about Peter the Great's Army (1) Infantry so like the informations about uniforms.
Next "Russian in red" coming will be the fantastic artillery from Zvezda, actually in preparation...

Scallped Potatoes With Campbell Soup

This release is completely unexpected, since it had not been announced. Anyway. The pieces do not seem to hurt. Those in the photo below, I think, are the only new release, which must be added, I believe, already present in other parts boxes. is a bit short stone a little "cheating" that the Strelets has already taken at other times.

The price, around 35 €, piutosto is good, given that the Strelets boxes usually have 48 infantry, 12 cavalry and 2 guns: so the box is equivalent to about 5 standard boxes, each of such costs, depending on the store between 6 and 11 €.

Having to buy the other Swedes travel. However, with regard to the infantry we have enough in place and finished with 6 btg other two sites. Frankly, I'm sorry because the new figures seem pretty interesting and I would have gladly used. Particularly beautiful are the commands and the figure of Charles XII wounded on stretcher is very useful (in that condition commanded Poltava and for that reason could not, so to speak, to give their best).

It seems to be the next release, in October, the equivalent for the Russians, with the "short" of Peter the Great: when will certainly take them because of as there is not enough.
