Does anyone know if the British regiments in the Crimean War used the same facing colors as in the Napoleonic period? It's a bit hard to find information on the former but trivial for the latter. Regards,

The Osprey The British Army of the Crimea has a chart which shows, essentially, the same colours as the Napoleonic period. If you're in a rush or don't want to buy the book, you can find it on Google books here: link |

Thanks much! I own the British Army on Campaign Osprey for The Crimea but it doesn't touch on facings. The other Osprey's are out of print except in ebook format and I wasn't sure how the various color prints would show in black and white. In that I really just need the facing colors the google book link is perfect. |

No worries. What figures are you using? Foundry 25s, Warlord 28s, Eureka 18s or something else? |

Eureka 18s. I'm going to "repurpose" my French from the FPW and then paint the Russians so that I can do the Crimean. Eventually I'll do some Austrians, Turks, and Italians and that will allow me to do all the major (no disrespect to the Schleswig-Holstein War) European conflicts from 1854 to 1877. |

They are lovely figures. Good luck with the project. I've a hankering to do some forces for the Crimea too. |
