With the Napoleonic season upon us (there are wargaming seasons you ask?), I thought it was an ideal opportunity to put together a nice command base for the boys British and Allied forces in the Peninsular. What better person to have in charge but the highly regarded and wonderfully successful commander of the Light Division, as well as 3rd Division at times. Major General Craufurd.
The base was intended to cover a wide array of staff and senior officers that may have well been in the vicinity of our hard marching, hard fighting General during the campaigns against Massena and the French during the period.
Cant wait to have the old boy out now and see if my French and Italians can give him a bit of a thrashing. Somehow doubt it.
Now, on with the Waterloo preparations.
