All great suggestions. Keep us updated on your progress.
1) 1st battalion add a mounted officer to the command base
2) Some variations in drummers which can be achieved at the 28mm size.
3) Different plume/epaulette colors for voltigeurs.
4) Some grenadiers in bearskins others in shakos.
5) Some regiments in greatcoats.
6) Some fusiliers with same colored poms, others colored by company.

At 15mm I have the underside of the stand painted with white paint and I write the unit ID there with a black magic marker.

The differences between the units of the same nationality is then noticible because of slight differences in the pose, painting, type of uniform dress and decoration of the top of the base.
