Peninsular Napoleonics Not-Kickstarter!

[monkeynut]

Looking for some advice ref British Fusiliers wearing bearskins (yes I know they didn't wear them on campaign) but in my army they do as I'm the general! And as stated before if it looks good then they're in ! Who can resist a battalion or two? Bearing in mind my limitations on converting figures could anyone suggest any "stand in" figures from any Pendraken range given  a paint job  that would pass a quick inspection ?
Thanks in advance.

And if I want to give the battalion a goat mascot l will.historically correct or not.

What about the French grenadiers?

Yes, I think you have the essence of the appearance of the Russians as far as it is reasonable to expect in a 10mm figure.  It is 'worse' than that though, because you have cords added in 1809 and the thin plume replacing the busch-type in 1811. 

Cords as early as that? I thought they were part of the 1811 reforms ...

I know they seem de rigour in 13/14 were they a routine field item earlier?

Hi Leon,

Can you add the following to my order.

NPB23 x 3
NPP16 x 1
NPR21 x 3

I am tempted with the Rhine infantry but.. Have you had chance to consider skirmish figures for all the Peninsular range. Thet would be fantastic garnish for the table and make great skirmish screens for the rules.

[John Cook]

Are the light infantry figures not in 'Firing Line' poses?

Yes, on 11 June 1809 cords were authorised for all lower ranks.  White for privates and white with a mixture of black and orange for NCOs and musicians.

I always wonder if these kinds of embellishments lasted very long on campaign though.

As John says, the lights, rifles, scharfschutzen, guerillas, etc are all in firing poses rather than the march attack of the more regular troops.
