Milan Guard 1813 - 28mm Wargames Foundry Napoleonic Infantry
|
This is a unit I painted many moons ago as part of a slightly mad plan to create Bertrand's 1813 IV Corps in it's entirety in 28mm. I was tempted by the variety - it includes an Italian Division and Wurttemberg Division. Needless to say I only managed to do part of the division. I'll try and dig out some more of the Italians and a bizarre experiment with painting Wurttemberg flats, for speed!
The last book has a series of unit lists for the army at various points in the campaign.
The Milan Guard was in Moroni's 3rd Brigade of the 15th Division - commanded by
Fontanelli. They fought alongside three battalions of the 7th Italian Line Regiment at
Gross-Beeren, Dennewitz, Wartenburg, Leipzig & Hanau. The battalion had six line companies - no "elite" companies.
The figures are metal 28mm
Wargames Foundry French Infantry (I think mainly FN 080 - marching in campaign dress) - one of the last lots sculpted by the Perry's I think. They are beautiful figures and a pleasure to paint. The flag is hand painted and pretty much to size - but feels a little too small.

I need to work on my photography - any tips on how to get better depth of field would be greatly appreciated. |
