Individually 10mm (or 12mm) Napoleonic figures don’t look impressive, but in large groups, on the table, I think they look great. \u00a0In anticipation of the Look, Sarge, No Charts: Napoleonic Wars<\/em>, I had been purchasing some sets of 10mm Napoleonic figures, mostly painted, on Ebay. \u00a0Since beginning this project in earnest after the release of The GASLIGHT Compendium<\/em>, I’ve been going through what I have, mounting it for LSNC: Napoleonics, and purchasing bits to flesh out full units.<\/p>\n

For over a week I’ve been working on four battalions of French light infantry. \u00a0I finally finished them this weekend.<\/p>\n

In other versions of LSNC (World War II and American Civil War) a base is 1.5″x3″. \u00a0In WWII this represents a platoon. \u00a0In ACW, this represents a regiment. \u00a0In the Napoleonic version, a “base” is still 1.5″x3″, but it is made of two 1.5″x1.5″ stands. \u00a0This allows them to be arranged into a column, line, or square. \u00a0For three-rank infantry, the figures are arranged as shown in the picture above, in three ranks. \u00a0When I get around to painting British (two-rank infantry), they’ll have just two ranks of figures on a base.<\/p>\n

I also painted some Austrian Landwehr. \u00a0These are interesting, because they are in grey uniforms, so they’ll stand out on the table. \u00a0I have also begun painting another few bases of Austrian infantry. \u00a0I’ll paint these as Hungarian infantry with light blue trousers, since all my current infantry is wearing the white trousers of the German infantry.<\/p>\n
