Master lists for the Napoleonic French and Austrians!

[NTM]

As you say, we really need some opposition for people to create two usable armies, so that's what we're aiming to have by summer.

A pretty good Austrian or Russian army can be put together from the 1812 range IMHO

It rather depends on which period you want to game and how fastidious you are about uniforms worn in particular campaigns. The Austrian crested helmet had gone by 1812, to be replaced by that strange shako with the double peak. And the Russian jagers were wearing a totally different uniform. I tend to agree that you go with what you can get - but there's always someone who wants the coat-buttons two inches higher....

[NTM]

Agreed to an extent, but an 1809 Austrian army can be put together using the helmetted figs which was still worn by most German Regiments at the time. Many French units were still wearing the habit veste in 1812-13 due to delays in issuing the Bardin uniforms so they can fight Austrians in shako and Russians too.

Hey just thinking - would it be nice to have some dead nappy figures?  Dead horses would be easy enough as well as broken cannon but Infantry need to be face down arms out or face up or on their side with arms out or something like that

We've got the dead horses covered, and I'm sure some equally unfortunate persons will follow at some stage!

Hi
Anyone know what of the Napoleonic range will be available at Salute, I would love to pre order a bunch of the, Hussars, Dragoons, Cuirassiers, Line in Bearskin etc etc.

Thanks
William

[Leon]

I'll have a look at what we've got and let you know.  I was hoping to have the artillery ready as well, so that we could start putting army packs together, but it's cutting it fine now.

[Wkeyser]

Hi Leon
That would be great as I have a couple of our club members from Copenhagen who are going to be at Salute and I was hoping they could pick up some pre ordered goodies.
Thanks
William

[Leon]

Right then, the 3 cavalry types will be ready, so you can pre-order those.  Anything which arrives now will probably be too late to get moulded in time for Salute.

[Wkeyser]

So Curraisiers, Dragoons and Hussars 

Great I will put my order together this weekend and get it to you.
Thanks
William

[Leon]

The Carabiniers have just arrived as well, so we'll see if we can fit those before Salute.

Happy for what you guys are making - happy days and many thanks ,

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered. What time period of the Napoleonic Wars is this new range to cover? Also, will this range be compatible with your other Napoleonic ranges?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The main list is for Wagram 1809, and once that's done we'll start working out from there to cover the other areas.  They won't be compatible with the current Peninsular ranges, as these will eventually be phased out, but they look OK with the 1812 ranges.
