Another unit present at Albuera, which indicates I must have been working to a plan when I purchased the GMB flags for these figures seven or eight years ago:
That's sixteen battalions completed now, with another four just about finished:
Hopefully I should have them all completed within the next fortnight, now that my other hobby in law studies is winding up for the year. Good fun for the most, and it is definitely using parts of the grey matter which have been under-utilised for twenty years or so, but it will be nice to fully concentrate on some Napoleonic French again.
Great job Lawrence, so many beautiful details on your work, Albuera is coming...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, Albuera is one of my favourite Napoleonic battles and I have the Spanish and Portuguese done, with just the remainder of the French and British to go.
DeleteFine looking outfit; the 51st was part of Davout's Corps in 1806 - 1807, and is thus in my collection as well.
ReplyDeleteI do like the 1806 period, especially the Russian and Prussian uniforms around that time.
DeleteWe played a re-fight of Saalfeld a couple of years back, and it had a totally different field to it than the later Napoleonic games we play. I would love to spend more time investing this particular period.
I meant "investigating", although "investing heavily" is probably closer to the mark given the potential expense of having to double up on several Napoleonic armies
DeleteA Freudian slip indeed, methinks! :-)
DeleteHandsome looking French ligne, Lawrence!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, nearly all completed now.
