I had a very productive afternoon. The last batch of
Moldavian are now finished and in a few hours the varnish should be dry enough
to spread a glue and sand mix to dry overnight.
The previous post I mentioned a number of units would
be rebased, those being the Mercenary German and Ukraine Cossack infantry. Both
would be drilled close order troops. I found only descriptions of the German
units, but found nothing for the Cossack unit. The latter I painted in earth
tones and painted their cloth bags red.
In the photo are 2 skirmish units, a dragoon and
artillery unit. and the infantry rebased as mercenary German and Ukranian
infantry (4Ms). This brings the total Moldavian force to 24 elements which
makes me happy as these came from the leftovers box.
Photo one.
Further reading about the campaign, under Ottoman
domination no fortresses were allowed or built. However, Moldavia could protect
their monasteries, such that many became strongholds. There are recorded 150
such monasteries.
Photo two, the Monastery at Sucevita.
Cheers,

What a pretty piece of country!
That would make a fine scenic project for any game table.
