I'll have to see if there's any secret special rules; they're just too special not to have in a collection!<br /><br />I love your heavy rocket section; they'd be quite terrifying to face in action. These are up to your usual painting standard, ie.

I am working through a lot of half finished units and those Hanoverians are moving up the queue. The Guard are a little further down, but I will get to them. Thanks for the extra info about Lt Dansey. I still have a few small 6 pound rockets left, so who knows, I may add another base.john de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-13856557549543707132011-02-14T14:10:00.119-05:002011-02-14T14:10:00.119-05:00Really like these, they look great!
A couple of th...Really like these, they look great!<br />A couple of things:<br />Dansey recalls seeing only ONE rocket frame "“I recollect our seeing it, with its great long frame cocked up in the air, at an angle of about 34 degrees, firing away.”- the rest were fired along the ground by the abatis. <br />Dansey was wounded almost immediately and the firing of the rockets (from the ground) was taken over by Sgt Dunnett. ""Sergeant Daniel Dunnett on perceiving the advance of the nearest French column towards the farm, dismounted his men as coolly and deliberately as if exercising on Woolwich common, though without any support whatever, laid rockets on the ground, and discharged them in succession into the mass, every one of them appearing to take effect. The advance of the column was checked until Dunnett, having expended all his rockets, retired with his party to rejoin the guns in the rear."<br />Apart from this incident the rest of the troop was equipped with five 6-pounders. <br /><br />When am I going to see those old guard/hannovarians/etc etc? <br /><br />all the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293690195430705478.post-8452122568153446272011-02-14T13:26:44.646-05:002011-02-14T13:26:44.646-05:00Hi
