The second cavalry unit for the Swedes is the Karelian regiment, which I chose for its grey coats.

| Another fine Swedish unit |

| Showing of the hand-painted standard |
The standard is based on the one from the Hoglund book - two arms holding swords and a crown in the centre.
To make sure the Swedes have someone to give directions, I painted up a general too:
 |
| General Vakta (apparently that is Swedish for guard, which is as close to the meaning of my last name as I can get). |
 |
| And from the other side |
I have determined that this week I will get both Russian cavalry regiments, artillery for both sides and a unit of dismounted Dragoons for both sides finished. This will give me enough to play some One Hour Wargames scenarios. Next week I'll start on Geoff's Koreans.
Great looking unit and General Nate! Nice flag too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Hope you're enjoying this early 18th century productivity!
DeleteYou are a machine Nate! Very impressive results!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger. I do feel a bit machine like at the moment, but I'm in the painting mode at the moment, which is great.
DeleteLovely work, Nate. I always enjoyed doing standards - you get the chance to do those flags no-one else produces! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sid. I agree about standards but I have to admit that it is much easier for 28mm figures!
DeleteVery fine results! I especially like the general and his white steed. He looks quite the dandy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. He is very much a dandy, but soon we will see whether he is a fighter as well!
