Hello folks, could anyone tell me if the Victrix Imperial Guard (Old Guard and Middle Guard) can be used for 1813 to 1815 campaigns? |

Because they are primarily in their greatcoats, they are ideal for 1813 to 1815. |

Thanks was hoping you'd say that. |

Old Guard never, ever changed the cut of their uniforms. Good for 1805 through 1815. Middle Guard did not exist as distinct units in 1815. They became the higher-numbered bns of the Chasseurs and Grenadiers. |

Thank you Sir. I guess the Middle Guard can be geared up as Line, right? They are in greatcoat and OOTB they have the "cone" above the pom pom. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. |

The problem with using the Victrix Middle Guard figures is that though the bodies can be used for line elites due to having two crossbelts (not appropriate for fusiliers) the shako pom-poms lack the tuft of the elites. Having said that, it can be easily remedied with some Green Stuff. |

Oh boy! The more I read your posts the more I realise how little I know! OK I need to do more research. Thanks again. |
