More reorganization of bats based on new Hat figure colors

 Still working through making all the changes to my units to adjust for this after taking a while to plan it out.  Didn’t want to just wing it and end up with a living room covered in piles of figures for a week while I tried to figure it out on the fly.

Good news is I think it will improve the looks of my French army units as now the dark blue French troops (for the most part) and other French units will have NCOs & officers in the same color.  Because the Hat Chassuers aren’t available in the dark blue, and I had an old set of the Caribiniers in the same light blue as the new restock Chassuers I used a few of the Caribiniers in each color to fill out the bats as Grenadiers in 3 regiments that historically had their Grenadiers in bearskins in 1809; 

2nd line regiment & 56th line regiment in dark blue

French 1st line regiment (army of Italy) in light blue

Also am totally reorganizing Army of Italy units to assure each division’s composition makes sense from both a color standpoint but also the mix of firing and ready unit figures.

I will post pics and the reorg when done.

Cheers

  1. It's good that you'll be able to sort out the colours. Variations in shades of blue are appropriate between regiments, but would not look so good within the same unit.
    Best wishes, James
