Four bases of 6mm British WSS infantry |
I'm continuing to make progress on my 6mm War of Spanish Succession project. I am working on two "Starter Army" packs from Baccus, one French and one British. The French one is mostly done, and I'm now working on their Allied opponents. Here are a few pictures.

I'm doing the British Starter Army up as a British/Allied force. I've finished six bases of horse - I did four British regiments, and two Hanoverian ones - and four bases of dragoons - three British and one Dutch. I've also finished the artillery - three bases of British guns and one base of Dutch - and I'm now on the infantry - with four bases of British troops finished to date.

I believe this is Hamilton's Regiment... |
I have four more bases of British/Allied infantry to finish, as well as some British/Allied officers, and then it will be on to the dismounted dragoons of both sides. Baccus makes dismounted dragoon packs so you can represent your dragoons fighting on foot. I don't know how often this happened in the War of Spanish Succession, but I guess it happened enough that there are figures to represent it. I'm saving that step for last.

Dutch Dragoons (mounted) - "Knopff" Regiment, I believe |
I have also managed to finish the three buildings that game with the Baccuss War of Spanish Succession Polemos Starter pack. They were pretty nice models to work with - good detail.

Baccus buildings - these came witht the "Polemos Starter Pack" |
So out of a total of 60 bases of infantry, cavalry, artillery and officers you get with the starter army I have finished 45 of them. Slowly but surely I'm getting there, and I hope to do a game for the group sometime before the end of May. Unless another project intervenes. Always a possibility...
