"Questions about the 25mm ranges of Old Glory," Topic

Hello eveyone,

I would like to go back to the Napoleonic armies as in the past and I immediately thought of my dear Old Glory 25 mm but there are problems with theses ranges,

If anyone could answer these questions below thanks:

25mm Napoleonic Wars Austrian:

There was only one type of uniform in the Austro-Hungarian artillery for the whole period ?

Where is the Hungarian helmeted infantry from the beginning of the period ?

25mm Napoleonic Wars French:

Are the Product IDFXC-09 and FXC-10 French Chasseurs à cheval from the beginning of the period or from the end of the period ?

The Product FXC -09, FXC-10, FXC-11,FXC-12 and FXC-13 French Chasseurs à cheval are from the beginning of the period or from the end of the period ?

Are the Product FXC -14, FXC-15 and FXC-16 French Cuirassiers from the beginning of the period or from the end of the period ?

All French Dragoons references are from the beginning of the period!? Where are those at the end of the period ?

The light infantry is signed "25mm French Legere 1806-1815". So which references are for the beginning of the period and which for the end of the period ? Because as for the line infantry, the uniforms have evolved a lot throughout the period.

Why are there no references to the infantry of the imperial guard in great coat which was the outfit they wore the most in war ?

25mm Napoleonic Wars Prussian:

Where are the mounted volunteer Jaëgers of the Prussian cavalry?

Is there a reference specifically for the Silesian Landwehr Cavalry PXC-10 ?

She didn't have a special uniform, however, and I never saw landwehr riders in caps !?

In my opinion the cavalrymen of the landwehr PXC-12 have too cylindrical shakos for landwehr cavalrymen.What are the differences between their uniform and those of the Uhlans?

The infantrymen of the PXI-01, PXI-02, PXI-03 et PXI-04 reference are grenadiers, musketeers or fusiliers?

What is the PXI-06 reference? The landwehr is not the reserve and vice versa and the reserve most often wore the ordinary infantry shako …

And if it is infantry of a reserve regiment they are grenadiers, musketeers or fusiliers?

And the PXI-07 reference? Wouldn't that be more like the infantry of a Freikorps rather than "Militia Men".?

Where are the volunteer Jaëgers of the Prussian infantry ?

Where are the references of the Royal Guard ?

25mm Napoleonic Wars Russian

The RXA-01 and RXA-02 references are from the beginning of the period if I'm not mistaken?

Where are the carabiniers of the grenadier companies and the fusiliers of the grenadier regiments?

Where is the Imperial Guard ?

Where are the regiments of chasseurs à pied and à cheval ?

Where are the Cossacks ?

Thanks,

Surely this would be best directed at the manufacturer, none of us can answer most of these points.

Well, that link is useless 'help'.

I'd like to know the answers too.

Has anyone had these figurines in hand to answer some of these questions?

PXI-01-04 These are all musketeers – paint the straps white – they can also be fusiliers – paint the straps black. They can be used as Grenadiers because the shakos are covered.

PXI-06 I use as Reserve – as they have short coats.

PXI-07 I use as Landwehr with covered shakos.

Don't know about the Prussian cavalry. I use the Prussian mounted Colonels which have a mix of covered shakos and flat hats.

PXI-01-04 are musketeers or riflemen depending on the type of edged weapon they have at the hip.

Austrian artillery kept the same uniform throughout the period,

The Hungarian regiments as far as I know, never wore the helmet, it was always shakos for them.

No particular uniforms by type of artillery among the Austro-Hungarians?

The Hungarian regiments never wore the helmet?

Not in 1798 I think that the Hungarian infantry also adopted the helmet (worn by certain infantry regiments until 1809), the shako only appearing in 1806.

Quick answers for the Austrians:

Artillery – Officially Corsehut until 1798 and then helmet until 1803 when replaced by Corsehut again until 1806 when Bicorn introduced and then from 1811 Corsehut again. In practice, appears that it was Corsehut/Helmet pre 1806 and Bicorn for the rest of the period.

No difference between "foot" and "horse" batteries. Handlanger-Corps (provided the unskilled labour) wore same uniform as trained artillery crew but with different coloured facings.

Hungarian Regiments – Helmet introduced 1798 and replaced by Shako in 1806. This would have taken some time but it is generally accepted that all the Hungarians were in shako by 1809.

So on the use of Old Glory for Austrians (which I personally think is one of their best ranges and of which I have several thousand) I think it fair to say that the uniforms are strictly for 1809-1815.

There are no valid references for 1805?

Sorry I don't quite understand the question. If you mean are the Old Glory artillery and Hungarian Infantry correct for 1805 then the answer is no (of course I doubt anyone will mind too much)

You are right, but it is this kind of detail that interests me, because at all times I want to respect the outfits and uniforms of the armies. I think you have to do it when you want to reconstruct something with historical figurines.
