French Light Revamp

Since reading the recent 2 books on tactics I have not been happy with the composition of my 13 French light infantry battalions.  I think I put them (particularly the battalions I intend to be able to skirmish)  together with too much of an Austria skirmishes formation/mix of figures influence (i.e. with only a portion skirmishing, and the rest in formal supporting reserves) which isn’t how the French deployed them usually.  

To reconsider/reconstruct these battalions I’ve bought 7 more sets of Hat Voltigeurs (126 figures in 6 poses). I plan to use them to try to build more reasonably accurate and balanced light battalions and regiments, as well as to better fit into their brigade & division formations.  I’m halfway through gluing on backpacks and will share pics when I have something worth showing.

Cheers

VI Korps Hungarian battalions

 I have packed up most of my units for transportation back to the city.  However I am leaving the 11 battalions of VI Korps Hungarian infantry behind for now.

I have repositioned them to a more stable setup for while I am gone, and took some pics to remember them by.

Recently finished a couple of books on the basics of Napoleonic tactics that are of course must reads on the subject;
