Things have been fairly quiet in Port Brique lately, but the British are
reinforcing their contingent in the French colony with field artillery. So far,
only one artilleryman, with a light field gun has arrived.
He sports a custom torso, and a custom tarleton! The tarleton has been crafted
from a minifig construction helm and Miliput by Aussie Lego fan and LUGnet
lurker David Stannard. Im very impressed! Check it out:
Ive got to build some Congreve rockets to supplement the field gun now...

No more quiet than Brickleys Cove, I must say! A good time to redeploy forces,
as Horse Guards has evidently decided : ) But only 1 artilleryman?

Impressive! Excellent work by David Stannard in getting that Tarleton to shape
-- its quite a nice alternative to the castle one weve been using. Will the
troop of artillerymen be supplemented by more men with this cap? And is there
more of Mr. Stannards work to be seen?

Congreves? Oh good lord! Ive heard nothing good about Congreves -- aside from
the Sharpe testaments to their inaccuracy, I just recently read an acount from
the Canadian Rebellion of 1837: the rockets were fired at a building (odd target
choice to begin with) but one launched, completed a 180-degree turn, and
exploded 6 feet from the commanding Lt. Colonel. He and his horse were
miraculously alright.
Hmm. Sounds like just the sort of weapon to send to a French port ; )
As always, cant wait to see more. Hopefully Ill have something to contribute
sometime soon...
