"FR560 – French Infantry peeling potatoes
FR561 – French line infantry advancing looking slightly nervous
FR562 – French sergeants 1803-1804 in slings and on crutches
FR563 – French command pack (number 72) – contains one colonel pouring sherry, one major eating a light souffle from an upturned drum, 3 mule drivers playing cards and an organ grinder (including monkey)
etc etc etc etc etc"

I would buy these packs. Nice ideas. ;-)

But you are right, for my 1809 project, i would need for Walcheren:
- british general scratching his head "What to do?"
- british staff officer vomiting
- british soldiers with cholera (three different poses)

Have you noticed, that there are maybe a tenth british casualty models than french!?

French Napoleonic Army 1810-15
28mm Figures Designed by Alan Perry

FN 156 - Regimental command in pre-1812 campaign dress, advancing

Wearing the 1810 pattern long-tailed habit, these could be used from 1807-14 (if you ignore the reshaped turnbacks on the coattails), as the Bardin regulation habit took a while to be fully introduced.

FN 157 - Battalion command in pre-1812 campaign dress, advancing

The overly baggy overalls are straight from Winkler (the Freiberg Manuscript), a contemporary eyewitness and illustrator. These were becoming very popular at the time.

FN 158 - Fusiliers in pre-1812 campaign dress, March Attack

Also, some are without their waistcoats - again, something Winkler shows, but is also confirmed by Major Faber du Faur, soldier and illustrator, Wurttemberg Artillery.

FN 159 - Voltigeurs/ Grenadiers in pre-1812 campaign dress, March Attack

As with all our metal packs, this doesn't preclude them or any others from appearing in plastic some day in the future.
