Great looking Guardsmen, Simon. Looking forward to seeing them gamed too.

I'm still a way off gaming with them. Their allied opponents are currently only 12 painted plastic Prussians.

12 Plastic Prusdians should be enough to see off a bunch of ear-ringed, luxuriantly moustachioed, Village People wannabees!

Don't listen to a word that vagabond Brentnall says Simon. He can't even spell Pusssians and wouldn't recognise elite infantry if they charged him frontally in broad daylight!

Prudsians, Pusssians- what hell is this? ;-)

I really like the mud stained great coats. They look a hard marching bunch to me.

Thanks. I'm doing the entire army in muddy greatcoats. Hoping I'll be able to have the enemy in greatcoats, too.

Prudsians, Pusssians, are you not aware of the difficulties of transliterating from Slavic languages written in Cyrillic script? The point remains the same, however it is spelt, the guard will always ‘recule’in the end! And even Landwehr can evict ‘Young Guard’ from a village.

SIX battalions of Garde Chasseurs a Pied? That's more than existed for the vast majority of the Napoleonic Wars (as you're obviously aware).

And armies all in greatcoats - might just as well do American Civil War! :-)

Give me armies in Grande Tenue any day\; one must look ones best when facing the enemy in battle!

"And even Landwehr can evict ‘Young Guard’ from a village." Eventually! ;-)

Hi Peter, happily I'm looking at the end of the wars, so I can have quite a lot of Garde. :-)

I feel confident you might know someone Simon. ;-)

Indeed! :-)

It's wonderful seeing your Napoleonic collection getting some of the spotlight. Bravo! I seem to remember you had some stonking units of French dragoons as well...

Hi Curt- Yes I recall I have a heck of a lot of dragoons. I've also got cuirassiers, hussars, lancers and most of the Garde cavalry. Only the Dragoons have ever seen action, briefly, in one game.
