It reminds me of that tv programme with Peter Snow and his son - they stood about 1,000m away from a troop of cavalry and described their feelings as the troop charged straight at them. "Bloody terrifying" I think was their reaction.Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-80141866686108482202008-01-12T09:24:00.000-08:002008-01-12T09:24:00.000-08:00...I'm not a gambler, but I like to visit the hors......I'm not a gambler, but I like to visit the horse racing every now and then just to stand by the finish post when ten or so horses go past at full pace - the ground literally shakes.... not difficult to imagine how frightening it must have been to be standing on two feet with nothing but a bayonet between you and the guy on the horse!Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-12839991167728162632008-01-11T12:29:00.000-08:002008-01-11T12:29:00.000-08:00John -- see http://tinyurl.com/2oazmn for a hstori...John -- see http://tinyurl.com/2oazmn for a hstorical piece on horse colouring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-3202638824141440362008-01-11T10:37:00.000-08:002008-01-11T10:37:00.000-08:00Hello John,A rousing (and slightly terrifying) vis...Hello John,<BR/><BR/>A rousing (and slightly terrifying) vision.

So Cuirassiers get all blacks, Hussars a mix of light tans/ bays, etc. Easy for table identification purposes for those not familiar with the perod being played.<BR/><BR/>PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-74706775369725831892008-01-11T06:18:00.000-08:002008-01-11T06:18:00.000-08:00Nice horses, John, very realistic, how did you pai...Nice horses, John, very realistic, how did you paint them?<BR/><BR/>;-P<BR/><BR/>HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
