Well done, the both of you (Vyse and Radavik!). Think the bolder lines add to the whole look in a good way and the colour is nice and strong too, and the several 'tone' shading, I think, fits with the whole style.

Thanks very much. I appreciate it, and I'm sure Vyse does as well. Looking forward to the new MoW?

I think the term 'real life' would be more appropriate than proper.

That's your opinion. It was the English which told the Australians fresh from battle with the Turks that the were now to face a 'Proper' enemy, the Germans. This is what if feels like.

I just wouldn't have thought that Boney would be considered proper; 'on the field of battle his hat is worth 30,000 men...but he's not a gentleman...'

Lovely quote from Wellington. Though as far as I remember, he wished to have troops like those Napoleon had, disciplined and soldierly, rather than the scum of the earth.

Quite, a nugget of truth in a largely sugar coated history written by the victors.
Then again by the Waterloo campaign France's martial quality on a man to man basis had been largely watered down by the hurried drafts to build up his forces on returning from exile.
