War of the Spanish Succession completed first phase

This week I finally was able to complete the first phase of my War of the Spanish Succession project. A total of 20 units, sufficient units for some One-Hour Wargames with each army has: 4 infantry, 2 cavalry, 2 artillery, and 2 dragoon units. 

I started the project at the end of April and have been completing about 3 units per week. Here are a few photos of the armies...

While snipping away at these paper soldier units. I have been thinking about some rules and jotting down notes which I will be testing out over the next few weeks. In the meantime I have a WW2 Western Desert game to finish.

Currently on the tabletop

      Thank you. The Western Desert is getting written up and it was a most enjoyable game.

    They look good en masse and the artillery guns are very good. Looking forward to the next Western Desert game AAR.

      Paper amies do benefit from being en masse. Any rules I use will not whittle away the unit numbers. The WW2 game is waiting to be written up.

    The WSS Armies look amazing Peter! You must be itching to throw them in to action.
