From the rules:
If it is a character’s firing card[/b], then, only if the reload card is face up on the table ,the firing card is
passed to the appropriate character’s player. Otherwise, the firing card is discarded. It is up to the
drawing player whether he reveals which character’s card this was. This introduces an element of
tension, as often it is not possible to tell which characters have their weapons loaded.
Characters who are charging, seriously wounded, knocked down, knocked out or mounted never
receive their firing card however.
Like action cards, firing cards are taken into the players hand, and can be used at any time to take a
shot, the firing card is then discarded.
Characters armed with multiple firearms have a firing card for each.

Thanks for the information. Is it the normal 6s to hit used in the other Foundry skirmish systems?

4-6, draw a card/chit for effect.

Last lot of the planned purchases. More cavalry will be added after everything's done and probably a gun or two as well.

Picton! Splendid chap and one of my Napoleonic heroes. I can't wait to see how you fit him into a skirmish

The Gerard model is a perfect choice

Matakishi !

I would like to inform you about a great book about the 95th Rifles and there campaigns. The book is a good read and gives you lots of information as well as many scenario ideas. It is also very exciting. It is not just plain written as a history book. The authors style makes you feel you joined the Rifles.

Here is one review.

I agree, it's a very good read. Well worth getting if you are a Napoleonics fan.

Mark Urban's book on the Rifles is indeed an excellent read, but I have to say that I enjoyed his "Fusiliers" even more.

I recently had his newish book "Generals" and although I haven't had a chance toread it properly yet, it looks good too.

Driscoles;
Thanks for the heads up. I haven't read that book and didn't even know of its existence until now. That would make a fine Christmas gift for me...now I'll have to convince my wife.
Regards,
Hitman

I just went upstairs and here are a couple more little gems:

1) Captain Of The 95th (rifles) by Jonathan Lean

2) Bugler & Officer of the Rifles-With the 95th Rifles During the Peninsular & Waterloo Campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars by William Green

I have both and quite enjoyed reading them. They have some great ideas!!
Regards,
Hitman

I bought and read the Rifles book by Mark Urban, I've also re-watched all my Sharpe and Hornblower dvds along with my other Napoleonic films

Also, I've painted the first unit, some French carabiniers.

Voltiguers are underway...
