    Nice work as always!
    Interesting that the trousers are white.

    Thanks, FB. Yes, it must have made them easier targets!

    This is a relatively simple template to keep things ticking over; I'm working on a few others at the moment but they all require much more work or I'm waiting for more information before I can complete them. Anwyay, like hussars, one can never have too many jägers. ;-)

    David.

    Sir David, Haven't had much time or interest for gaming lately. Lynda has been fighting breast cancer, so we have been seeing doctors, undergoing surgery, and starting radiation. Fortunately, things look excellent for a full recovery, but it certainly has not be fun. Hope all is well with you. Best regards, Bill

    Would you believe it, I'm just about to build a Feldjagerkorps. Your template came just at the right moment.
    Cheers David.

    Hi Bill,

    I'm so sorry to hear that but very glad that the prognosis is good. Modern medical treatment makes one very thankful *not* to be living in the 18th century, however fascinating it is in so many ways. My thoughts and best wishes are with you both. I hope it won't be too long before you can relax and enjoy the wargaming again.

    All the best,

    David.

    Hi Steve,

    Nothing like a bit of serendipity! I'm pleased the template is what you needed when you needed it... :-)

    I look forward to seeing pictures of your new troops...

    Cheers,

    David.
