Photo from Forged in Battle website |
Figures:
While mostly officers and specialist positions wore the long black coat, other ranks wore a long coat (of a longer length) so I will be painting riflemen with the basic Polish infantrymen color and officers with the black coat...I think. I've ordered a platoon of the Forged in Battle Black Brigade and will just have to see what the figures look like up close. I may paint them all black just to make them stand out a bit more.

I bought the Skirmish Campaigns Black Brigade scenario booklet. Most of the scenarios call for several vehicles, which I will avoid (one or two per side is plenty), but they do provide inspiration to create my own scenarios.
