About the Project
Not another project. This one I fell into by accident. I knew I wanted to do a what if battle involving an invasion of victorian Britain by some dasterdly foreign force. I've had the minis for awhile but slowly started tackling the collection.

French invasion
The aftermath of the Franco-prussian war led to the battle of Dorking invasion scares but before Prussia was the bady it was a fear of imperial French invasion. I got the plastic perry miniatures at Christmas snd osinted one unit of marines and the rest as normal infantry. At Salute I got a couple of artillery pieces that I have since painted up. I could do the Franco-prussian war but I've also had thoughts of an early world war and more what ifs.British grenadiers
I can't have an invasion of Britain without an excuse to field some big bearskin hats. Who better to defend the outskirts of London 
Prussian artillery
I realised I'd stuck the crew seats on backwards because It's hard to see on the perry miniatures site how it all goes together 
Prussian Dragoons
First cavalry unit. The dragoons have a lighter blue tunic than the infantry 
Should we form square?
The collection so far
Two perry miniatures box sets has given me three units for each side which is a good starting point. Next I need some artillery and cavalry
