I shall only be sharing the first stage of the minis, for now.

I used a zenithal method, with black and white base coat, which I have used on many other metal miniatures without issue. The paint remained 'tacky' for about 6 days, this much delayed my starting on the painting of the miniatures as I did not know what the 'tacky' effect would be to paint applied to the minis.<br /><br />As it turned out the paint tended to 'pool' if it was too thin, so I needed to use the base layers in a thicker, wetter mode than I normally do. This also caused the base paint color layer to need more time to dry and set before I could start on the shading layers.</p><p></p><p>I ground up some white crystals for the 'snow' effects on the bases. Then used a bunch of different flocking methods to complete the bases.<br /><br />Client wanted a bright color set and a glossy final finish, this did make taking pictures of the finished minis a challenge.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The time limit is based on the number of turns for the Russian line infantry to march from one side of the board to the other, then add 1/2; this worked out to nine (9) turns.<br /><br />Fast, bold action was called for the Russians (fast is not something they are known for), and some luck from a few failed Bavarian defense rolls could make it possible to get more than 1 unit across in time.<br /><br />The die rolls for the Bavarians were amazing, they killed the leading Russian skirmishers in the first encounter.<br /><br />From there things bogged down, though the Russians came within one turn of making it happen all the same.
