I'm going to paint, base etc the 2nd, 4th, and 6th Infantry,  and 2nd and 3rd Reserve Cavalry. This will give me 201 points, so enough for a small game, but I'll also be able to combine with 200 points of Austrians to get a 6th Coalition army. I fancy a battle where Sunjester Napoleon has 300 points.

This isn't as uneven as it sounds,

Baked in - That's why he gets 300 points opposed to 2 x 200 with restrictions.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Important painting development.

Bought a new chair.

It's a folding desk chair,  as I was using a dining chair.

Painted cuffs and collars on 8 strips.  Going to do the white crossbelts on those now, then the base strip green.

Hope to have 4 bases based in next hour or two (sans flags, which will follow in next few days).

Thanks for the compliments, but I don't think they are that good. Given three things; size, table distance,  my skill, what I am aiming for is "Are they OK for a wargame?"

Since the photo I have 20 strips/10 bases almost ready, just need to do the strip at the bottom, then glue them on the 20x40

Mine have lots of faults when seen close up but once on the table, they look fine. Yours more than pass muster IMHO!
