A Very Small Ruritanian Army

As mentioned in an earlier blog, Ruritania has not been daunted by the military catastrophe suffered by the Cortesians in Lionia. They have an expedition of their own planned. Lionia is one of the few African lands not yet colonized and the Ruritanians want a place in the sun. Everyone else who means anything has colonies so it is Ruritania's turn. 

As usual, Ruritania's close big brother ally, Hermany has offered collusion and assistance, including naval transport (just as Blusia did with Corteia). Redia has again offered transit through its own colonial territory - anything in the interests of peace, peace that is between the European powers.

So, I  had to have a look at my Ruritanian 'army'. here is what I found out - it is going to need more recruits if it is to embark on a colonial expedition so here I go again with more conversions and figures to paint. (I suspect that quite a few Hermans and ACW figures will be pressed in to service along with the Ruritanian conversions).
