The figures are very nice, but I had some issues with breakage on these. Some bayonets were cracked about a third of the way down the blade, so you'll see a few miniature bayonets here.
When I do finally decide to tackle my early French army, these are probably the figures I'll use. They paint up very well indeed.

Very nice looking battalion. I noticed that you went for the 6 company basing. I'm wrestling with whether or not to use 6 companies per the post 1807 regulations or the 9 companies. However, I see that you painted these to sell so maybe it doesn't matter. I like the look of larger battalions with 15mm figs.
ReplyDeleteI think with my next unit I will go with the 9 company organization. I've been toying with the idea of fighting Napoleon's Italian campaigns with General de Brigade, and I'll definitely need to go with the earlier organization for those battles.
ReplyDeleteThe Italian Campaign would really be cool to see and to play - nice uniforms.
