French Infantry of the Revolution

Regiment of the Day


Some more early period French in bicornes ... using some figures from an exciting new range from Lancashire Games.


French Infantry in Tarleton - Ancien Regime

Regiment of the Day


Some more 'early French' - French line troops in the pre-Napoleon Ancien Regime uniform.

All white, regimental facings, and tarleton helmets with imitation leopard skin headband.

Brilliant !


Early French Line Regiments in Bicornes - 1806

Regiment of the Day


Starting to knock off quite a few early French troops now .. ready for the Jena Auerstaedt mini campaign.

Going to need quite a few as it turns out.

These are marked (underneath the bases) as different  regiments, but really they are just a generic mass of early French that can be configured however to fit the battle at hand.

This type of uniform should cover most French line troops from the Glory Days of Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena Auerstaedt, Eylau .. and maybe even later.

Just how many Napoleons does a man need ?

French 16eme Legere

Regiment of the Day

... and some more French legere for good measure.

5 bases of troops in march attack pose, with 5 matching skirmisher bases - mostly double based Carabiniers.


Saxon Boguslawski Fusilers

Regiment of the Day


A few more Eureka Saxons out the way today ... this one is a small detachment of sharpshooters to provide a token skirmish screen for the main line troops.


Again, I have gone with a distinctive non-regulation jacket colour for these light troops. Same colours as the Saxon artillery uniforms in this case.


And the little green plumes to denote that they are sharpshooters.
