From NormS - mostly Napoleonic Austrians - wrap up



I signed up for 400 points, which due to a lapse mid way through, became a bit if a stretch, but in the end I got there and here are the rewards of that effort.


3 x Austrian Infantry Battalions (from 9th, 35th and 38th Infantry Regiments), 1 x Austrian Artillery Battery, 1 x Austrian Commander (Prince Liechtenstein), 2 x Austrian Colonels and to get me my final 10 points, I painted up a couple of 28mm Soviet soldiers, just to see whether this is something that I want to do in the future for the Rapid Fire Rules (oops, just noticed they did not make the photo!).


Seeing them all together makes me really pleased that I did this. My Napoleonic French forces had been steaming ahead and the Austrians needed to do a bit of catching up - and now they mostly have.


Thank you to Dallas, Curt and the rest of the team behind the Analogue Hobby Painting Challenge for hosting the Challenge, so kindly giving up their time and to all those fellow hobbyists who commented on the Challenge blog, supporting the various entries.
