Title: French Naval Artillery Regiments at Leipzig
Post by: Ducel1 on December 14, 2013, 12:49:29 AM

I'm searching for suitable figure(s) to use for the 4 French Artillery regiments that served as infantry at the battle of Leipzig.
The figure(s) should be in a double breasted greatcoat with bicorne and musket.

Dear Ducel,


I´m sorry but there is to my knowledge no unit suitable without changes. In fact there are two units, which would make it : There is a very nice unit of Gurad Grenadiers in double breasted greatcoats (Ochel, former Brandt see here : http://www.flats-zinnfiguren.com/Grenadiere/index.html)
With these you need to change their heads using bicornes of  Betegnier or Maier French Infantry of 1804.


But the French Naval Artillery Regiments at Leipzig wore the shako as well. For these you may use my conversions of the a.m. set


Best regards
