AHPC15 - Retreat from Moscow - 2nd Duchy of Warsaw Infantry

 

As you may have guessed by the title, for today's second post I have more Retreat from Moscow figures. These 9 figures represent a detachment from the 2nd Duchy of Warsaw infantry regt, who were part of the V Corps, 18th Division under Brigadier Grabowski, but they could easily be any of the Polish troops that fought as part of the Grand Armee.

This time round they're mainly Murawski Miniatures, now sold by Skytrex, with a few Perry's thorwn in for good measure.

Six of the figures are in greatcoats, while the remaining two were in plain uniform, so out came the greenstuff and now they're both toasty and warm, one figure more than the other!!

The Command figure is also form Murawski and he's sitting on some new sabot bases that me and Lee had made especially by Martin and the team at Warbases. the 25mm hole is offset so it allows a bit more decoration on the base.

The points should be pretty easy for this post, 9 figures x 5pts = 45pts

With maybe a little bonus for the added blankets??? You never know your luck?

P.S No bonus points this time round, although this made my total 692 points and pushed me back up to 19th place.

And that's it, the show went well from what I could see, it did seem that Traders we're down this years and possibly numbers visiting as well. The show seemed to thin out after lunchtime, we left around 2.30ish, which was early for us, I only bumped into 1 fellow blogger, David from The Ragged Soldier, but still a great day out, see you there next year!
