I'm doing much more browsing than gaming just now and have neglected this place. Back again with some links to your stuff...
"As the French left collapsed Ney was frustrated to hear that his right flank was little better. Indeed reports from Lauriston indicated his divisions on the right were unable to conduct further offensive operations. Yet Schwarzenburg 's position was little better. All three divisions of Gyulai's III Armeekorps were either exhausted or had collapsed. It was true that Hessen-Homberg's two divisions were still fresh, but reorientating them would take considerable time. Unsurprisingly both Ney and Schwarzenburg determined it was time to disengage. The Battle of Přestanov was a bloody draw."

Jon adds Westphalian Guards to his collection:
"Wanting to imitate his older brother Jerome raised a Royal Guard that included a Guard Grenadier battalion, Guard Jager battalion, a Guard Chevaux-lergers regiment, a Guard horse artillery battery and a squadron of Garde du Corps."
But he made them himself from some spare bits:
"It just so happened that I’d come into the possession of some Victrix Old Guard in great coats, I didn’t need any French Imperial guard for my project, but it dawned on me that with a head swap these victrix miniatures could work as Westphalian grenadiers. As luck would have it the Victrix dragoon elite company heads that looked very close to the Westphalian grenadier bearskins and I had a whole bunch of spare ones after building the Dragoons."
