I completed 4 units of these 1812 Russian Militia, with pikes and muskets, as part of the troops required for or Borodoino game in July.
These are Falcon Figures, a new maufacturer for me. The flag for this unit came from Rafael Pardo's excellent blog. More pictures, etc on my blog at: link |

Peter, Good looking group. I think every 1812 Russian Army needs some militia units. If you ever run a Russian campaign game, you can also utilize these units with Cossacks to mess with the Grand Armies supply lines. John |

Thanks, John. I actually like to have a few Militia units in all of my major armies. For the 1813 Prussians, it's more than a few, of course, and I had a lot of fun doing the Austrian Landwehr and Hungarian Insurrection in 2008. For the French I can use my units in overcoats, or any one of a number of low quality allies! For the British, well they always seem to have a supply of low quality allies hanging about! |

how do they compare with Minifigs? |

The Falcon Figures are just a bit bigger than Minifigs, smaller than most other modern "28's"; I have a lot of Minifigs, and that was one of the things I liked about them, the relative compatibility in size. MUCH smaller than Front Rank, considerably smaller than Essex, perhaps a bit smaller than Old Glory 25's, similar to Sash and Saber 25's. Peter |

are you thinking in replaying the whole campaign? |
