Has anyone developed a table that lists regiments by division with facings listed for each regiment? |

The facings are easy enough to find online: link There are others lists as well. As for OB by division, for which battle? It did change from 1808 to 1814… |

Haythornthwaites, Uniforms of the Penninsular war has this information in the appendices. |

Sorry, I didn't phrase my question properly. I know where to find charts of facings and regiments, but has anyone sorted them by Division and brigade for particular campaigns so you don't have to keep flipping back and forth through the pages. In other words, the chart for a particular campaign would read: Division Brigade Regiment Facing Lace
Picton Wallac 88th Yellow Silver So at a glance you would have it. |

Sounds like that would be a great project. Please post it when completed. Thanks! |

Stuart Reid has a breakdown of Wellington's divisions right through the Peninsula War in the book he produced for the (sadly) now defunct Osprey "Orders of Battle" series, |

For the OOB why not use "A history of the Peninsular War" by :"Oman, Charles William Chadwick, Sir, 1860-1946" – all available to download link

The Osprey book of Wellingtons army in the Peninsula has TOE as of 1 Jan each year, and notes changes in the text. |

Imagine it'd be easy enough to do – just time consuming F |

Would be a godsend to wargamers new to the period (or just ones with a small painting desk!) |

Guys I'm going to give it a try, for the benefit of us all Need something to do. Not promising it will be finished any time soon though. F |

Guys I'm crap at this technology stuff, but I've had a dabble doing the British at the Battle of Vimiero Let me know A) if it works
B) if its in colour
C) if its the kinda thing you mean *turns out its in colour on systems with word, but only black and white on android. No idea why* link F |

This looks like a good idea. Are you Intending to do both sides? |
| ferg981 | 17 May 2013 3:11 p.m. PST |
Erm Could do but arent all french line infantry facings the same colour? F |

To err on the side of caution, the colours on the chart are representative, but not totally accurate. For instance, greens were produced by a process of using both blue and yellow dyes. "Yellow green" was a bright, vivid mid green, as it used more yellow than blue dye. "Blue green" was a dull, sombre, dark green, as it used more blue dye than yellow dye. I'm sure ferg knows that. But I just wanted to make sure no one paints blue green as a sea green shade, or yellow green as a swamp-y olive khaki. |

Yeah sorry I was limited by the colour palette on Word F |
