I'd be willing to give them a try. |

The problem I have with front-back paper figures is that cavalry tends to be left side-right side, as does artillery, so 1/3 of your army is not seen very well. I make everything left side-right side (mirror image) and play from the side. It takes some getting used to, but it looks nicer. It is how the old flats miniatures did it. |

There are two books that might be of interest that, among other periods, cover the period 1792-1815. The first is Paper Soldiers: The Illustrated History of Printed Paper Armies of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries by Edward Ryan. At over 500 pages and in large format, it is a definitive history of the genre. The second is Les petit soldats de Strasbourg by Jean-Pierre Klein, who is the Conservateur du Musee Historique de Strasbourg. It is worth having. |

Dale Hurtt…yours basically would be more like metal flats which folks have been using for ages. Good idea. |

Cutting around the bayonets…Hmmm. |

I agree with Dale Hurtt… (do you have a site to see your papersoldiers). I do the same.
And they have a huge advantage on the plastic 1/72: they are already painted and you can put one next to the other in a much narrow space
