Hi All,
I would like to make a stand to represent "Le Petite Quartier General" 'inspection' party, consisting of (Chandler): Bertier, Caulaincourt, the Marechal du jour, adc's, orderly officers, a telescope bearer and map bearer, and Roustam. Add to that a table and light shelter. I have the accompanying cavalry and gun sections. I would appreciate figure suggestions for Napoleon, etc, dismounted, if there are any? (I have mounted except Roustam) I would also ask you all about any skill and model suggestions for the 'scenery', to trick out some of my existing command and support stands as well.(barrels, stacked cannonballs, carriage, wagons, carts etc. Thanks- this is the place to ask!

What scale you are looking for?

Thanks-6mm- hence the question, I have observed that the bigger scales offer more options in this regard.

Don't use "stacked" cannon balls, please. You would not find them done so in a combat situation.

ColCampbell – but you see stacked cannon balls in so many dioramas.
How would you represent cannon balls in a combat situation?

You might see them stacked at the ammo dump. No stacking while people shoot at you.

I did a 6mm Roustam by adding a turban and baggy trousers to an Adler figure – possibly one of their ADC figures though it was a long time ago.

Baccus do an Imperial HQ set which seems to have much of what you are asking for.

Thanks for the 'stacking' heads-up. Makes sense- only in a redoubt or fort I should think. Otherwise, ball and powder only in a chest or cassion, in-hand or barrel. I just ordered the Baccus figures. How does Baccus stand up to other 6mm command figures?
