The Swiss feature in quite a few peninsular battles, and their red coats look good. They have also on occasion confused players as to which side they are on, just as happened historically. Entertaining when it happens.

+1 for the Irish. as well as the ones fighting for the French I have the Enniskillen Reg. fighting for the British.

Once, in a British V French Peninsular skirmish game, one of the group suddenly exclaimed, "Do you realise
we don't have any British or French on the table!"
We had my various Irish as well as Polish, Swiss, Hanovarians and Italians.

Not the same, but years back a friend realized my AWI crown forces didn't have any units with tricorns. I purchased and painted one more unit to rectify that.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
