With finishing the 2nd Carabiniers, I've completed my Napoleonic French cavalry corps. 20mm plastic & metal figures from a range of manufacturers. Scaled down, of course, it has 2 brigades of 3 cavalry regiments: url=https://postimg.cc/PvMN4ZLD] ‌ Under General d'Hautpol are 3 units of cuirassiers: url=https://postimg.cc/D4cmgsW0] ‌ Under General Nansouty are 2 Carabinier units and Polish Lancers: url=https://postimg.cc/2Lx3wvqZ] ‌ All under the command of Marshal Bessieres: url=https://postimg.cc/H8tj25Jg] ‌ They may or may not be great fighters but they do have style.

Well done! Who makes the d'Hautpol figure?

Those figures are beautifully done, great job.

Very nice mate. With their horse artillery battery, good. With 2 brigades you could run an extra battery of guns if you wanted the extra painting.

Thanks for all the kind comments. The d'Hautpol (& Nansouty figure) are Franznap. I sold a kidney in order to buy them.

You definitely set a beautiful standard on your figs! I always take my time when looking at them. Then I clip all the pics and save them to my computer. It's too bad we don't live near each other. I think we would have a grand time as we appear to have many similar interests. Thanks. John

How nice of you to say that, John. There are quite a few TMPers I would love to see across a wargames' table & you are definitely one of them. I would like to add that our hobby does, in a small way, make the world a better place when we meet foreigners who, surprise!, are just like us.

Very nice work indeed. Best wishes, Chris
