EVEN MORE NAPOLEONIC REINFORCEMENTS

I have not managed to get to a game this week as I have been busy visiting my father who has been taken into hospital.

Here are some more of my new artillery.  These are French Guard Horse Artillery - the figures are by Elite and were painted by Reinforcements by Post in Bangladesh as a commission. I have ordered some Elite 6pdr guns to replace the Hinchliffe 4pdr guns which I used in the photo.

I sold my Neuchatel canary battalion last month and have replaced it with a second battalion of the Josef Napoleon regiment for my foreign brigade.  I like them as they are colourful, made up of Spanish POWs from Denmark, and their commander in 1812-1813 Baron de Tschudy had an interesting career.  He was born 1774, a French royalist officer, emigrated 1791 and joined Conde's Corps, 1795 joined British service in De Rolls and then the Queens Germans including serving in Egypt, 1802 joined the Portuguese service, 1808 entered French service in the Portuguese Legion after the Portuguese Army surrendered to the French , 1812 became Colonel of the Josef Napoleon Regt, wounded twice in Russia, 1815 went into exile with Louis XVIII and after various commands after the 2nd Restoration died as the Kings Lieutenant of Bayonne in 1834.

Here are some more of my first order of Renedra plastic tents. These are the bell tents based on square 2mm MDF bases from Warbases. I ordered some more of the tents from Renedra 2 days ago and they arrived yesterday.
