  1. Don't leave us hanging too long on the pics. Was that Captain Sharke of the Flintloque 30mm series?

  2. Hi Cinncinnatus - Yes it was and he features much more prominently in a Company level refight out of Black Powder today though the KGL with Captain Sharke barely held on to the village of La Haye Saint / Capt Sharke and company broke when overwhelmed by 2 companies of chasseurs and a company of light guard sappers. But the game ended as the KGL pulled out a narrow victory due to extra ammo and a couple extra companies of rifles to defend. That battle happened today Labor Day
