Hi chaps.
Just to let you know I have added some new figures for this range. To compliment the Line Infantry, we now have a selection of Jager figures in various poses, and also Uhlans, Hussars and Cuirassiers in 28mm piranswarriors.co.uk

Great looking figures. They look a lot like the style of Outpost Games' Russo-Turkish War range. Are they sculpted by the same individual? |

Thanks for the kind comments Kevin. The sculptor is Martin Baker. To be honest I'm not too sure if he did the Outpost figures. I do have some of their figures and they are similar |

Is there a big difference between 1848 and 1859 as far as uniforms go? |
| paperbattles | 22 Feb 2021 11:08 a.m. PST |
@79thPA. there was a huge difference. In 1848 the Austrian fought still with a very Napoleonic unifom, while in 1859 their uniform was much more modern. for that reason I prefer the 1848 uniforms; here an example

Sorry for not replying 79thPA. Been tied up with work. , Thanks Paperbattles for helping out.
The 1859 coat was a white double breasted tunic which seemed to be more loose fitting to the 1848 tunic. The shako was covered with a black cloth and the trousers were blue for line and grey for Jägers.
The style and cut of the uniform was certainly different although colour schemes were fairly similar |

Thank you both. Another interesting period in history that I don't have time to do. |
