I've been doing a bit of re-basing on my oldest wargaming army – a French Napoleonic Corps. These are some of my oldest figures…& newest ones (I'm still finishing the Lancers).1/72 & 2 mm of course. url=https://postimg.cc/sM6C7JZp] ‌ It provides a comfortable night's gaming with 12 infantry battalions, 2 artillery batteries, a cavalry brigade, command & paraphernalia. Commanded by Marshal Davout himself: url=https://postimg.cc/kBs0Pysk] ‌ Foot and a Horse artillery units: url=https://postimg.cc/CdgMFmC1] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/cKt1Jz5K] ‌ Light cavalry support under a probably disgruntled Grouchy: url=https://postimg.cc/QFHKp0yD] ‌ The heart of any Napoleonic army – the infantry. It comes in all types – light and line, foreign regiments, formal & campaign dress: url=https://postimg.cc/MM8cJxKZ] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/m1fynKK7] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/7GDLQVmf] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/YhVCwkdc] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/gr2zXr5F] ‌ url=https://postimg.cc/XGH0cchM] ‌ Figures are a mix of plastic & metal; Hinton Hunt, Newline & Kennington, HaT, Revell, Strelets, Zvesda. I have a heavy cavalry corps, a similar Line infantry corps and a Imperial Guard corps to expand for bigger games (yes, Napoleon is not the only megalomaniac).

Great work! I also have Davout's III Corps – Napoleon's "Tenth Legion" – but in 6mm so not nearly as impressive Do love the Iron Marshall!

TBH, I don't think my efforts with this army are particularly historically accurate. Mix of units, uniforms, colours etc are probably all a bit dodgy. And they're not my best work as many are over 20 years old. But I have affection for them. They've been to Borodino & Leipzig. Won at Waterloo! And many more battles.The Corps doesn't always win but it always fights with elan! donald

Fabulous collection, and very nicely based. What make is the command figure waving his bicorne next to his horse?
