Great to see all the figures out on the table at last. Jolly good game too, BP worked pretty well, we will have to learn the rules at some point too, I suppose. ;)

Thanks for pausing to comment Phil. As to learning the rules:well, no need to be rash...

Always great to see the FR played. Good looking game.
We are still in doubt which ruleset to use but as I have just started to paint it will some time before definitely choose a ruleset.
Thanks for sharing

Nice game - French Revolution is something I have been interested in for a while and this gives inspiration. I like the cavalry bases and trays - the shape of the bases look more pill shaped than fully round. Are they commercially available?

Yes, these particular ones are from Warbases, great folk to deal with, check out their website.

I've almost finished another French Infantry battalion and some skirmishers and have another French command stand underway. Of the present pile that leaves another infantry battalion and some Hussars! Austrians later in the year if all goes well.
