Thinking of sending some of my AWI figures off to do a little fighting in these later campaigns, but I'm wondering about certain troop types and whether anybody makes them in 25/28mm ? - soldier with round hat, shell jacket, gaitered trousers - soldier suitable from French revolutionary mulatto regiments - ditto, French black regiments.

I have a similar project, inspired by a few Osprey titles. I am sourcing the figures with Old Glory 25mm and some foundry as well.

Custer, which Old Glory figs were you thinking of ? Foundry have a pack in their pirates range that would be suitable for black militia (Balthazaar's marauders IIRC) and their Napoleonic naval landing party packs contain some very useful figs too. EC

Eclaireur, I have a whole list of items that could work. however they are in another location where I am currently not. When I find the list, I will give you the figure codes. I have to dig through the project material notes. It will be sometime later today or tommorow.
