| New additons to my forces for the 1812 Russian and 1813 War of Liberation Campaigns. All Essex Miniatures French range painted by yours truly |
These are by Essex Miniatures (boo hiss, I hear you all cry, but I like 'em) and are
basically French figures painted as Saxons. There are a few fudges but not that
you'd really notice (my Saxon Grenadiers have only one crossbelt, and no sabre for
example)
Most of the infantry are wearing greatcoats. I decided to add mounted commanders
to the Leib-Garde Grenadiers and Combined Grenadier Battalions to make them
stand out further.
The Leib-Garde hardly need that though as they are in scarlet coats with yellow
facings. I found out that their distinctive Bearskins were in storage for 1813 and that
they wore shakos instead.
Those nice chaps at Essex Miniatures though even made a few special packs for me
to create Prinz Clemens Uhlans; French Chasseurs a cheval standard bearer
with Polish lances.
Figures are all painted in my basic 'Old School' style, with very little shading or
highlighting, and ink washed instead, and are ready to be christened in action very
soon.
I even managed to add a unit of rifle armed skirmishing Jagers. In the unit ratings in
the back of the rules these have been omitted. The Jager corps of the Saxon army
consisted of only a company of around 150 men. I decided to field it as a skirmish
unit of only four figures, C class Sk3.
Flags are AB by the way.
