What color is your horse?


It is always a problem to chose a color for the horses. After some research and internet browsing I found this nice picture describing the main horse colors (at www.juniorgeneral.org ).

For the French cavalry, all I have left for the Waterloo OB is:
  • 12 x carabiniers (brown, bay)
  • 6 x Polish lancers (chestnut, bay)
  • 8 x Grenadiers a cheval (black)
  • 8 x Imperial Guard Chasseurs a cheval (bay)
  • 6 x Dragon de l'Imperatrice (chestnut)
I may add a few different type for variety, all the more that on campaign, most horses could be added whatever the color.

thanks a lot!
I always had the same issue :D

Consider that bay color is the "ancestral" color for horses and so is more common.
but it has a number of shades :)
