The 1812 range only has Voltiger firing for light infantry.

Is the 1809
QuoteNPF8  Line elite company, shako, march attack
a good match for a line flank light company? What about the Grenadier company?  I'm looking for figures for bases 1 and 6 in a 6 base line battalion for 1812.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

The 1812 range French infantry despite the name are wearing pre 1812 uniforms and parade uniforms at that. The 1809 range is a far better option all round IMHO.

Okaaayyyy....  I'm now confused!  Just had a look at the difference between pre and post 1812 - post being with the closed front.

So whats the differences in the two ranges (as 10mm ranges).

If this seems a stupid question please bear in mind
A) its 6:30 on a Sunday morning
B) I've got a hang over

The new range is in effect replacing the 1812 one, producing figures covering the same era in many cases.
1812 range came out around 8 years ago and the name is rather misleading as it's not restricted to figures for 1812 e.g. it includes Austrians in helmet and these were last worn during the 1809 campaign.
The 1809 one is by a different sculptor and far better IMHO
There are some very good figures in the 1812 range though, the Russians are the I've seen for that nation in 10mm, and the French Lancer figure is one of my favourites.

This ^^! 

We will look at replacing all of the 1812 stuff once we get the current planned Nap figures done.
