Napoleonic French Imperial Garde Baggage Wagon, 1815

Napoleonic French Imperial Garde Baggage Wagon, 1815. The model is by Perry Miniatures, the painting by Leuthen Studios. The basing, as usual, all mine!

5th Dragoon Guards, Heavy Camel Regiment, Sudan 1884-5

Section, 5th Dragoon Guards, Heavy Camel Regiment, Sudan 1884-5.

This unit was inspired by the excellent book "Go Strong into the Desert" by Lt. Col. Mike Snook. I relied heavily on the illustrations by Michael Perry. The figures are by Perry Miniatures from their Sudan Range. The unit was painted for me by Carl Robson.

Converged Grenadiers 13/26 von Finck: 'Mit der rechten Hand ans Gewehr!'

The elite 4-company 13/26 von Finck Converged Grenadier Battalion, major F. A von Finck commanding. This unit was painted for me by Leuthen Studios with figures by Black Hussar Miniatures.

The Battalion fought at Prague, Kolin and Rossbach. It was captured at Maxen in 1759 and had to be reconstituted with 4 companies from 4 different regiments.

IR13 von Itzenplitz, the so-called "Donner und Blitzen" regiment, provided 2 companies to the "coverged" Battalion. Using "Maurice" rules, I'm using 2 (of 4) bases for each of the musketeer regiments providing grenadiers.
