Someone should let the sculptor know that British infantry did not have greatcoat rolls on top of their packs in the Waterloo campaign.  The Duke ordered all greatcoats to be put into storage prior to the campaign; same thing happened in the Peninsula, I believe.  This was why Pvte Matthew Clay of the 2nd Foot Guards was stuffing a sodden blanket into his backpack, outside Hougoumont, on the morning of 18th June.
No plan survives first contact with the dice.

Ah well it looks like a couple of my battalions will have greatcoat rolls anyway-  they look good and I won't be going to the trouble of filing them off!

On that basis of level of minor accuracy you're probably never going to find figures that meet the standards!
