According to this blog, in October 2011 I added the Lanceros de Castilla to my 1812-period Spanish army, and I made a note at the time that I needed to fit red pennons to their lances. Almost nine years later, gentlemen, I have not done anything about this, but, before you gasp in astonished disappointment, let me add that this very week I have read that it is very probable that this regiment did not fit their pennons when on campaign.
YES.
That will do nicely.
I shall now amend my Napoleonic Catalogue notes to say that this unit is complete, and I shall move on. Another triumph. Just goes to prove that you should never rush into anything. That was smart planning on my part, to delay this little job. What's that I hear? Do I have any confirmation or cross reference for this new information I have read? I regret that I have now placed my fingers in my ears, and am singing, very loudly.
TRALALALALALA!
You can't beat an easy win! :-D

That's right - you show me a challenge, and I'll show you bad planning. Our fans prefer exciting football, but our directors prefer it when the opposition doesn't show up.

DeleteYou are a clever fellow, Tony! I may use this technique for some pennonless lancers I have.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon - I've been thinking about exploiting the time offered by lockdown to write a book - draft title for the moment is "How to scrape by in wargaming when you don't deserve it". On the other hand, I probably won't get it finished.
DeleteThat is a funny working title!
DeleteWell that was handy, saved a fiddly job. Lovely unit.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee - you know, now the pressure is off, the Imp of Perversity is muttering in the back of my brain, suggesting I could paint some pennons, just because I don't have to. I'll think about it for 9 years first. That sounds like a plan.
DeleteSo procrastination pays off after all? Cheers greg
ReplyDeleteHi Greg - that may be true, though I'll have you know that the nine years' delay started bang on time.
DeleteNow if only Blake had been leading some lanceros, ol' Victor might have had more to think about.. :)
ReplyDeleteCertainly Blake would have had more cavalry to throw at him...
DeleteDon’t you just love it when a completely none existent plan comes together...
