A half battalion of 15mm Savo infantry made from some slightly converted 15mm Minifigs Austrians in greatcoats.
Finnish Building – Model of the Day
Scratchbuilt houses by PetriH for the War of 1808. Designed to be used with 15mm General de Brigade games the houses were made more to the groundscale than figure scale.

These are the soldiers that rose against the French occupation, shattered the myth of French invincibility at Bailen, and defended their towns and cities in merciless house to house combat in countless sieges. Despite the ineptitude of the aristocratic officer corps, the savage infighting …
