Very interesting to read their Homepage. Had no idea they existed and had basically moved on from Foundry! Thanks |

nice miniatures – beware however that the Saxon infantry fought in the 1806 campaign in a sort of frock made from linen worn over the white uniform to protect it. So far, as I am aware nobody is producing them. |

The Saxons were originally from Foundry. They are excellent for 1809; the Saxons changed to French-style uniforms with a shako in 1810. |

Elite Miniatures. I have the Prussians and love them. |

Agree with Esquire, I use Elite Miniatures for a lot of my 1806 Prussian & Saxon units. They don't look bad and they'll add to the Prussian blue on the table. Plus, since no one make a figure like the one Von Winterfeldt describes then you can go with the next best thing and as someone else mentioned you can use them up through the 1809 campaign. |

To ad The Saxon army of 1809 looked already different to that of 1806, crossbelts, back pack, lapels hooked down as far as possible to create a sort of semi straight lapels Saxon Infantry and cavalry with french pows 1806
Saxon Infantry 1809
in case of the Saxon Army of 1809 there is an outstanding book with tons of contemporary prints by Hemmann, Thomas : Der Krieg in Sachsen 1809 dargestellt von Geißler und Sauerweid more than 50 prints most in colour. |
