Forgot to post the shipment I received from Ebay; 1 set Italeri French Hussars (8 men & horses).
I already have 40 of these excellent figures, all of which are in one of my Austrian Hussar regiments of VI Korps (the other Hussar Regiment in that Korps is Timpo Prussian Hussars in grey).
But I think I need to build out my under strength French 8th Hussar Regiment, which before this purchase was composed of mostly (expensive & fragile) Dulcop Hussars, and a few Reamsa Hussars. These are all in a similar blue as the Italeri Husssars, so I could use 2 sets of Italeri Hussars as the second division (complemented by a couple extra Dulcop Hussar buglers).
It’s actually interesting that there was only 1 French hussar regiment in the IV Corps, which was also the only French hussar unit on their entire left-of center flank, and only 4 French hussar regiments in total at Wagram (out of 10 total regiments in the French army at this time). I assume most of the others were in Spain at the time.
Cheers
