looks at a fast-assembly naval kit for the Age of Sail.
Eureka Miniatures will be previewing three major additions to its Wars of the 28mm French Revolution range at Historicon next week.
So far, we have concentrated on the ubiquitous bicorne hat-wearers for our French infantry of the French Revolutionary Wars. However, you cannot have a French army for this period without representing the Tarleton-style crested helmet (casque), issued in 1791 and widely worn by the white-uniformed regular army battalions for the first few years of hostilities from 1792 - and beyond.
We will also be previewing a French Artillery set that includes a 4 and 6 pdr. along with 12 artillerists (that includes a young Napoleon "laying" a gun).
Finally, we will be previewing Austrian infantry fusiliers in the Casquet and the Austrian Grenadiers in their bearskin hats. Both the fusiliers and grenadiers are represented in both "German" and Hungarian uniforms. The Austrian preview has over 80 different variations, including foot and mounted infantry command.
