I'm currently rebasing an old, and truth to tell, almost abandoned FPW project. These pic's show far I've got with the French. All true 15s from Frei Korps15, as was. Above the artillery.
The line infantry above and below. I have a fair few of these unpainted. Luckily, as they are now out of production.
The Chasseurs next.
Turco's galore.
Excellent troops.
The Zouaves, more of these to do.
All (more or less) based for Battle Command. As with the Prussians I'll show the whole army here once it is done.
Great figures. So glad that you have not abandoned this conflict. It has great history and wonderful gaming potential.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. I'm pleased I kept them.
DeleteLovely mix of units there OB and for that period, the French certainly had some colourful units which they could field:).
ReplyDeleteThe last war of colourful uniforms I suppose Steve.
DeleteGreat looking figures
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil. The cavalry are now mostly done.
DeleteAs you say, probably the last big war with colourful uniforms - and lots of big flags too. ;-) Gaming it gives the French a chance to do better this time as well. Look forward to seeing this develop.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the French I've just undercoated 2 battalions for the SYW.
ReplyDeleteAh good - what regiments are you planning to depict? :-)
DeleteLa Couronne and Limousin. I think I’ll do them two at a time, white coats then coloured coats. I'll send pics as we go.
ReplyDeleteGood choice. :-) Look forward to the pictures. Thanks. Good luck with the work...
DeleteThanks David.
DeleteAs with the others, glad you didn't abandon this project - should work very well with Bat Com! It a mazing what the right set of rules can do to revive a project!
ReplyDeleteYeah, a light bulb moment. Bat Com is going to be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteWe just played our second Napoleonic Bat Com game, and definitely enjoyed it.
DeleteIt looks like my first go will be ACW. I've just rated the Commanders and units.
DeleteGreat looking troops OB. Glad you've saved them from gathering more dust.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. They were safely boxed so no dust only sad neglect.
