Can never have enough dice!
A visit to a charity shop today furnished a bag of 39 dice, and all for £1. One of them is steel, and very heavy. Five are wooden so they can be drafted into my living history displays. Three are fruit/slot machine dice. Two are eight sided 0-7. One is linked to playing cards. And twenty-seven are standard issue 1-6. A nice little bargain!

Muscovite 'German' regiment completes its Establishment
Having already completed the pike-armed section last year, have just finished eighteen (actually twenty-two castings) musketeers for my Muscovite German regiment, with its own command base. This unit will now set off south, serving with the Boyar cavalry and Cossack division in the planned campaign against the Crim Tartars. All the figures in this formation are actually ECW Hinchcliffe castings, but they look like the European mercenaries that served in these units.

Zaporozhian Cossacks with their new banner
A band of Zaporozhian Cossacks have been given a revamp, rebased, and a suitable banner. They are now on the march to join the Muscovite army on their planned campaign.
