Imagi-Nations: A Gebrovian Ally is recruited

...
Gebrovia's early successes in the border disputes with Clementia were greatly beneficial to the nation as a whole, giving a patriotic boost to the population, and making it appear stronger in the eyes of it's two other significant neighbours; The Bellephron Empire, and Ionia.

The latter, a sometime adversary of the Gebrovians, had also in the past been allies of a sort, and Ionian warrior clans have frequently sought service in the ranks of the Gebrovian military.   With heightening tensions between Gebrovia and Clementia, the state coffers were opened to procure new servants to the cause:

 

First to arrive were a number of skirmishing troops, along with a dashing mounted Laird, in the company of an interpreter, an engineer and a member of the Gebrovian diplomatic emissary.  Shortly after a full company of clansmen arrived at the front.

 

Marching under the Ionian flag, of a red cross on the green field of their homeland.

 

Elsewhere, Gebrovia rallied a regiment of Kopritze Hussars to the cause, augmenting the raiding abilities of the troops at the border.

 

Kopritze was always well know for the horseflesh of its' rolling country, and these troopers have a glamorous panache to both their way of fighting and their style of dress.

 

The Clementians of course would also be recruiting their own reinforcements too, stung by a series of defeats on their border, and with a sense of the situation slipping into a general confrontation...

As with previous additions to our Imagi-Nations campaign, these miniatures are all from Warrior Miniatures, although in this case with some wider trawling of their ranges.  The Ionians are from the Jacobite Rebellion range, although some of the models here are from a pack I'd had in a box for over twenty years, and probably out of production now.  The Hussars are from their Napoleonic Spanish range, which I suspected would provide the oldest looking models for this cavalry type.

Next up for the campaign will hopefully be another battle report.
