Perry Napoleonic Prussian High Command - Minus

Minus one of the figures as the pack I picked up from an ebay seller was packaged by North Star and had a duplicate figure instead of three different ones. The seller said he only had that one pack and gave me a partial refund :)  Luckily one of the figures was the old man himself, Marschall Vorwärts, Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Missing was the guy holding a spy glass, Major General Georg von Pirch. The duplicate figure is Lieutenant General August von Gneisenau.

The Perry site has all of the figures in grey coats, but painted Gneisenau's coat in blue for variety.

Once again, I appreciate the simple Prussian uniforms, even for generals, as they make for a quick paint job and still look very nice.

Did a quick Google search for the marshal's pipe, and found that it is preserved in the National Army Museum in the UK. The pipe was lost, and later recovered, at the Battle of Ligny when the marshal's horse was shot from under him.

Well, this should be about it for now with Napoleonics. Will need to finally do a playtest for the Siege of Ulsan Imjin War game. Until next time, thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best.
