The 18th door - Solferino

Maybe you have seen the posts about the Solferino project and the figures, Massimo sculpted.
Just three sets of masters are left and the project will be completed - at least in the wishlist of figures...

Solferino is Patrick's project. You can see more about it on his and Wolfgangs forum which you can find here

Many photos of already painted figures there, like this

You also have seen the masters of the Prussian Cuirassiers. Next will follow Prussian Ulans and then Massimo told me it is easy to convert the Solferino French into 1870 unifoms and weapons. So another project for the future would be the last successfull charge of German cavalry at Mars La Tour in the Franco Prussian war.

Because of the success in this attack, the doctrine was still the same in 1914 with a brutal effect. People should have learned from all the failed French attacks in this war. So 1914 saw many failed cavalry charges on the western front, before things changed.
