Now for
a few of my French Napoleonic troops. I specialise in 1798 to 1814, particularly
unusual units or troops which are special in some way.
The
17th Line Infantry going into action. The figures firing (green/yellow
hat plumes) are voltigeurs (marksmen) whilst behind are the Grenadiers
(red hat plumes). The figure nearest us is loading his musket
Again
the same figures of the 17th Line.
The
figure nearest you has just been hit by a musket ball and is collapsing.
(The
bases for these figures were covered in fine sand - but at this
scale it looks like large stones).
