Hi all,
I want to refight the French invasion of the Swiss Canton of Bern in 1798. While it is easy to find 28mm minis for french revolutionary infantry, I am looking for minis to represent the Bernese Infantry:
I think I could use late 18th century French infantry figures, but I'd prefer something else to make a clear distinction between the French and the Bernese troops. Suggestions are highly welcome. |

Hmm – interesting – we not exactly overwhelmed by late 18th century figures. You could maybe use Prussians/Hessians, though you might want to redo the head gear. |

maybe the russian 1799 musketeeers by eureka? |

from memory there are Russian musketeers without lapels in the Eureka range which might suit |

Thanks for your comments, guys! The Eureka russians look very good to me. Does anybody know how they compare in height and build with Victrix' plastic figures? |

builds a cutter and a corsair, both in 1/1200 scale.
