15mm Napoleonic photos

 No not photos from 1815, these are some pictures of the new toys I was bequeathed.

The figures came in two display cases intended for wall mounting.

The smaller display case - cavalry and artillery

  

I need to replace the glass which was in the door of the larger display case as it was broken.  I will try to find some Perspex rather than go with more glass.

This is the larger case - infantry and cavalry

The eagle eyed may have spotted that the figures are not standing on the shelves as they should be.  I needed to sort them out into units as they were jumbled up so I used the cases flat on their backs as sorting boxes.

Now for some close ups of individual units to show the paintwork off.

French line infantry

There are also some Grenadiers of the Guard Infantry, Carabiniers in bearskins  and Light Infantry plus separate skirmishing LI.

British Line Infantry - Just spotted that I have mixed two poses together

The British also have Highlanders and Fusiliers in bearskins (I know they didn't campaign in those but I'm not changing them) and allied Portuguese infantry, but no Light Infantry or Cascadores.  Some of the flags will need replacing as they have faded while waiting for me to be able to collect them but no other touching up is required

I'm less clear about the identity of the Hussar units but a bit of research should sort that out!

Might not even be hussars, although they do have Pelmans

More unidentified Hussar types

The next horsemen I do know.

French Dragoons - There are two units of these

The next up are French Gendarmes of the Guard (I think)

Gendarmes 

Last but not least French artillery.  The cannon is loose so it can be attached to the limber as required.

Just a part of the artillery!  

If you look back on the display case shots you will see that these are only a sample of the figures.  They are all painted and based to the same standard.  All I need to do is decide on a set of rules.  I have had more recommendations for Paddy Griffith's Napoleonic Wargaming for fun than any other set so they will be my first set to try out.  If I like them they will also be the last.  Not God's own scale but they do have a charm all of their own, even if there is an element of a few chaps taking a flag for a walk at this scale!
