1er Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde


This is the 1ème Escadron of the 1er Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval de la Garde, commanded by chef d'escadron Alexandre Constant Bayeux. The Regiment was commanded by maréchal de camp Baron Lallemand.

The squadron is wearing the simpler campaign uniform of the 1815 campaign. It was painted for me by Carl Robson using Perry figures.






At Waterloo, the Regiment comprised 1,997 effectives in 5 squadrons. This would require 60 figures using General de Brigade rules! A brigade sized unit unto itself. The first squadron is...a start.
