So the Swedes are responsible for stopping the French army? It's like Leipzig all over again... ;-)

The staff officers are superb. Collections like this are always a wonderful sight, Jan, thanks for sharing! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hello Kekso,

thank you for the flowers, but this is the result of a long process. This is my French Guard (in the sence of well painted) departement. I do best as I can and so it is growing slowly. But Napis have been my key into the hobby years ago and so a nicely painted French army would be nice to have for me. In the middle you see the French infantry in greycoats from Art Miniatures. My dream is to build up a 1:1 company. And my next project is the HäT Light Infantry. But befor starting that I have to finish some old stuff here on my table. :-D

Wow! Wow! and wow! Yes, the command set is superb, but the IKEA box keeps a treasure. I was about to ask where were those infantrymen in coat from....Art Miniaturen...I am gonna check. And now I understand why you suggested me the Hat 1808-1812 French infantry set. Yet, I am not sure if I should thank you guys for having made me a nappy painter
