Finished helmeted Austrian German Fusilier command figures









 So I believe I now have all my Austrian German Fusilier command sets in helmets assembled. Enough for each battalion of such units in the I, III, VI & relevant part of V Korps; a total of 49 battalions.  This reflects that I have consolidated battalions of some historical very under strength regiments (for instance IR#23 Wurzburg historically had 872 men in 2 very under strength battalions, but I have them in 1 almost full strength battalion).

Each battalion gets 1 or 2 drummers (Depending on size of unit), and 1 each of officer, NCO & flag.

Latest Haul

 Just received an order from HobbyLinc.com; 10 Voltigeur sets, 4 Austrian command sets & 2 Bavarian actions sets.




This makes 39 total Austrian command, which I believe is all I need to lead all my battalions (most of which won’t exist until Hat releases their Austrian German action and marching sets hopefully later this year).

The Bavarian sets are to redo composition of some of my Bavarian units.  Unfortunately I needed 7 sets to compete this, but only 2 were available.  Looks like this set is going out of stock a lot of places.

Speaking of “out of stock”, Hat’s excellent French Chasseur sets (which form the bulk of my French line units) have unfortunately gone out of stock EVERYWHERE.  As a result I plan to use some of the Voltigeur sets purchased to complete 4 battalions of young guard triailleurs.  I know that hats don’t match, but it’s still the best option for now at least.

The rest of the Voltigeur sets are to redo composition of some of my existing French Light units.

Cheers

In reorganizing many of my various units some things this hobby come into focus.  My various units’ figures come a variety of different sets...
