Using the Warlord Games Waterloo Epic miniatures.Other than the French and British? From the French infantry I guess you could paint them as Chasseurs and get away with it. Italians and the Swiss battalions wore the same uni's. Saxons?

For the British models, I saw the Warlord article for using them for Belgian and Nassau. Portuguese? Americans? I'm not knowledgeable enough of the period to come up with anymore ideas…and the ones I mentioned could be wrong. Anybody got any good ideas for the inf, art, and the cav?

A few of my Prussian Reserve battalions are in British uniforms
And I have a fairly amount of Hanoverians with British uniforms

But for the Prussian reserve battalions, you'd need the stovepipe shako, not the Belgic shako. Of course with the Epic size that might not be a deterrent.

The British figures would for Portuguese line battalions but not Cacadores who wore the stovepipe shako. They would also work for some of the American regular infantry.

The French can be used to depict the Prussian 28th and 29th Regiments which were originally Berg units and transferred into the Prussian army.
They are in their old, white, French-style uniforms.

For any nations that can't be done with the Epic figures there are files for 3d printing that can be scaled to 13.5mm quite easily.
