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

So I did order additional Hat Carabiniers in the new true French blue! Lol

 Decided to buy another 5 sets of the Hat Carabiniers in the latest dark blue of the recent restock to (re)make my 2 guard Chasseur bats.   ...
