Gunter,

Yes these are from Elite Miniatures and I painted up Kochitzky first. I want to paint up all of the Saxon Cuirassiers even though only two were sent. I'm working on building up enough units to game 1806 battles.

Here's a link to my blog showing the latest units I've painted up for Republic to Empire. Plus a few pics of 1940 French infantry.

Nicely done sir!

Maciek - very nice looking pics. I do like how you've set things up.

My wife will faint at the sight of that given her Scottish ancestory. Me with my sense of humor and Irish ancestory love it.

Bummer, we're in Atlanta which is a bit of a drive to get there.

I'd love to see the battalion level rules. But your even smaller level action could be a very good way to bring in the young fantasy types as this might be the type of gaming they are use to. They won't be scared off thinking that they'll have to paint up hundreds or thousands of figures just to pla...

Wow! They are beautiful.

Gentlemen,

This has been an awesome discussion. Thanks to everyone who contributed. This is the reason I keep coming back here for information.

One thing I have found on the Hall CD for French Cavalry. Under the Gendarmerie 5th Company Gendarmes de la Reine it describes the 'arms' of France as been a blue oval with 3 gold fleur-de-lys. So maybe this on a white field?

Although hard to see it looks like the flag on the tapestry/painting has a cross on it and I wouldn't think the Royal standard would have that. It looks like a Colonel's flag that would have fleurs-de-lys on it. Maybe a Swiss regiment?

I'm curious, is there a French royal flag/standard similar to the English one? Does anyone know and have an image? Thank you.

Very interesting effects with that. I like it. Do you have to wait for the oil to dry?

Woo Hoo! Those are awesome. Very nice work.

These are really nice. You've done an excellent job.
