Casualties.
There were some 43000 casualties over the two days of battle, representing approximately twenty five per cent each, of the French and Austrian combatants involved .
As a comparison, Gettysburg some fifty four years later was fifty thousand approximately over three days.
These were staggering losses and I will need substantial amounts of figures to represent this mayhem.
I am very fortunate to have been gifted some lovely examples from my friend Thomas Mischak, which I have painted up. There are no unit facings as this will be decided by which unit is in action during my re fight.
The figures are Piano, Art Miniturian, Hagen and Franznap .

The merciless camera has revealed my Hungarian wounded chap and friends boots which I thought had been camouflaged by paint. An adjustment will be made.

As my Antietam re fight winds down I am hoping to reuse many of the casualties from this action suitably redecorated for 1809.
Lots to do .
