Appreciative of the comments comrades  :)

A pic I couldn't get to load last night:



These guys are the latest additions to a project that's been dribbling on for years.  The original plan was to put together the entire 17th Division at Borodino with supporting cavalry from 1st Reserve Cavalry Corps.  It got as far as the 1st Brigade of four battalions and the light and hevay artillery, the cavalry have the Elizabethgrad hussars and the Lifeguard Uhlans.  So at present looks like this:



Spare figures are all the command groups for the 3rd Brigade (Jaegers), whether or not I go any further is debatable.

Very nice.
Those 18's look like 28's.
I find that Napoleonic's can dribble on for years. It starts with Bavarians and Austrians 30 years ago, veers towards 1813 Prussians and 1815 Dutch until you come back to 1809 Russians and Swedes.
