Hi,
Pretty new to all this so need some help. I'm basing my command figures for French Waterloo infantry on a 40mm by 40mm base. I have eagle bearer with flag, Sapper, officer and drummer. I believe they were from the second company so should have sky blue Pom poms except Sapper who has bearskin?
What positions on the base would people usually place these figures.?
Thanks. |

The officer and the drummer could be company personnel with the sky-blue pom-pom. The Eagle Bearer should have a white pom-pom or plume as he would be regimental staff. I usually have six figure bases with the second and third Eagle Bearers on either side of the First Eagle Bearer and two company drummers behind. (The sapeur has an individual base.) I would place your figures with the Eagle and the officer in the front rank and the drummer behind the officer. |
