Preparing for the clash


The French are coming...

So here are coming the Liberators! Imperial France is going to create a united Europe, build roads, schools and institutions in order to develop the continent and prepare it to the new century. If on the way we need to get the people of Europe new leaders to share the vision with France, so be it!

In order to facilitate the... political transition, here is what have been painted so far:
  • 150 x infantry in greatcoat
  • 40 x light infantry
  • 32 x cuirassiers

on the painting table:
  • 7 x lancers of Berg
  • 9 x Lancers of the 7th regiment
  • 16 x Dragons (Orange and pink facings very likely)
  • 30 x Grenadiers of the Middle guard

Reinforcements being raised:
  • A Polish infantry booster pack from Baccus is on its way

Will everyone participate to the campaign? It remains to be determined. So far, I am painting what I like rather than paying close attention to historical accuracy. Game play will dictate what we need.

Salutations et Vive l'Empereur!

Holy crap! You have painted 150 infantry and 40 skirmishers plus 30 cuirassier already?!?! That is fast! Where did you get the 6mm French in great coats? I've been looking for that very thing for some time now.
Keep up the good work!

Gilles, as dewolfe said that is fast! I thought work had enough time pressure, looks like the hobby is going to be as well if I am to catch up to where you are now!
