I have many different accounts of 1805-07 battles fought by the French Army on my blog. But I thought you might want to see "most" of the Army by units. So go to my blog at: 18ctexan.blogspot.com The Guard and 2 other units are not in the photos. The Guard was still in Warsaw with Napoleon and 2 other units…well I forgot them!
Next time pictures of Russians and Austrians in campaign. |

Very impressive collection!
Yes with 6mm allows for mass with reasonable footprint and so cool to see 3 rank infantry and 2 rank cavalry in squadrons too!
How long did it take to collect to date and did you paint all of them?
My hat is off to you MG |

Amazing! Love the gleam of massed bayonets- not to mention les grosse frères! |

Thanks MG and mumbasa!
The current collection took about 25 years (I am currently working on Massena and Archduke Armies in Italy). My wife painted about 1/2 of everything (including 7YW, Austrians and Russians). The other 1/2 was painted by me and several different painting services.
The rules are hybrid ACW "Rally Round the Flag" with changes to accommodate Napoleonics. Supports very big battles and does not lend itself to "rule mongering" |

Thanks Frederick!
"Nothing" beats a mass cavalry charge! We have had a couple with over 900 figures in a single charge! Best thing is..I actually won a couple of them. |

I really like your storage method. That's fantastic. |

Wow! Superb! Well done, I applaud your dedication to accuracy. I think if my house ever burnt down and I had to start over (perish the thought) I'd go 6mm. Happy with my thousands of 15/18mm but love the look of your forces. |

It was a labor of love….and still is! |
