Gonna be busy with Real Life for a while, hence the rush to get figures painted. Nowt bad, just occupied doing other stuff. The Dutch are all based and in their magnetised Ferrero Rocher box. Just need to order the flock to finish them (and the Hesso-Brunswickers). But I'm holding fire on ordering while I think about what else I might need. Baccus and Pendraken do very fine flock which is good for 6 or 10mm figures.
As December is fast approaching, thoughts are turning towards a mini-campaign like I did the previous 2 New Year periods. Perhaps a narrower focus than previously. Something like Old Fritz's 1757 invasion of Bohemia?
But I really ought to get the new toys on the table for a battle or two before then. Maybe Minden and, as a more tricky scenario, Freiberg, so I can use the recently painted Germans and the Reichsarmee (more Germans).

| 18 bases (representing 9 brigades in TOTSK). There's room for 6 more bases if I shove them up to the edge of the box. I won't need that much room, just enough for a battery (1x60mm base) and a command stand (30mm sq). Just remembered I have 1 more base of infantry that I did in October, sitting in a box on their own. |

| Cav based on: Rechteren Horse, Gardes Dragonders (blue/red cuffs), Nassau la Leq Dragoons (blue/orange cuffs) |

| Dutch National infantry regiments. |

| Swiss regiment: unlike other armies, the Swiss seem to have been blue-coated in the Dutch army of the 1740s. |
