I started the first group of 8 Kurfurst regiment soldiers last Sunday night. I awoke Monday morning to find the TAG Turkish order I had been awaiting. I hurriedly finished the group of 8 electorate soldiers and then quickly started cleaning and preparing the Turkish.

Tuesday and Wednesday I spent cleaning out the back room in the basement in preparation for delivery of a new smaller Deep freezer. I also had to rip down a crappy unfinished shelf that has been there since we moved in. Thursday Thursday I spent several Hour painting the 2nd unit of 8 Sipahi for my army. I plan to have 3, but I need to grab another pack of Sipahi with swords to complete the final unit of 8.

Friday I spent most of the morning dealing with the freezer delivery and assembling several cabinets to fill the newly freed up space. in the afternoon I painted most of the new Turkish command I got(for the 2nd battalion of Janissaries) and the Regimental Kazan. The Kazan is essentially a ceremonial soup pot carried into battle. it became a rally point on the battlefield for the Janissary regiments. After that I also painted the Turkish cannon i bought. unlike the Electorate's Kurfurst regiment, which has 2 battalion guns, my Turkish army has a single field piece(in the Turkish army, in any other army it would have been a siege piece)

And that's all for now. I plan to finish the Turkish i have before continuing the Electorate army, since the Turkish are further along. As it stands, I have more 8 Janissaries, as well as 24 Tufekcis Skirmishers.
Great jobs!
