These guys...If you can't fight, wear a big hat. These guys never really get the respect they deserve - even from me. Yes, they used to run away, and their training was suboptimal, but they would come back the next day, and the day after, and they just niggled away at the French until they broke their hearts. In which characteristic they must have been an early role-model for the landwehr forces of Austria and Prussia and elsewhere - make it a people's war and ultimately you can't lose - no-one can afford enough manpower to tie you down.<br /><br />They still rate triple-distance retreats in C&CN, though - bless em all!

That was calculated as a frontage of 15mm per figure plus a bit of dressing space, and a depth big enough to allow Les Higgins figures "at the ready" with bayonets. It's largely appearance based, I admit it, but it is the house standard for my Napoleonics.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-69277254085477524052013-01-18T19:28:03.117+00:002013-01-18T19:28:03.117+00:00Good to see some new recruits.

It is something the wargaming gods do to break in these green units.
