The Titler Independent Border Battalion.


I was going to have another Grenz Regiment but when I found out about the Titler Independent Border Battalion with their light blue uniforms (and a name worthy of a 'Carry On' film)  I couldn't resist painting them instead ! .


The figures are of course Irregular and have just got based and varnished in time for a game tonight with my wargaming colleague 'A'  when they take on the Sardinians .

  2. Titillating indeed! Smart looking fellows, see what a good tailor and some polish can do for you?

    I'm looking forward to seeing the new units in action.

  4. That's amazing. When were they founded? Could they be fielded in a Napoleonic army?
