They do look good. A definite must have. |

Nice figures, but I do not like the composition of the command packs.
I do not like the ratio of standard bearers to drummers and officers and mixing grenadiers with fusilier command. |

fantastic! Are there 8 figures in the French High Command set? |
| Disco Joe | 22 Dec 2009 1:22 p.m. PST |
Very good points John. Why aren't there more standard bearers in the command pack? |

I like those French high command figures. Looks like some of them could be used in SYW armies. |

Some very nice looking figures. However I find that Perry lose quite a bit of detail in the casting unfortunately hussarbob1746.webs.com |

By the time of the AWI, French regiments only had one ensign per battalion, not two like most armies; I think these are meant to be battalion command packs. The High Command set will be all 8 figures. |

Ugh! I'd rather see Lee's Legion, or Continental lights, more militia. I don't plan on doing Savannah or Yorktown,so I don't plan on buying any. Sigh… Bob |

BTW, weren't MOST French grens in cocked hats by 1781? Bob |
| Supercilius Maximus | 24 Dec 2009 11:39 a.m. PST |
At least they are nice figures. Officially all grenadiers were put into hats after 1779, but at least some of the regiments of Rochambeau's corps retained their caps, as they were seen on the march through Philadelphia in 1781. Remember that these are just the command sets – there will presumably be packs of chasseurs which can double (with fusilier officers) as grenadiers in hats. Or you can head-swap. |
