A good start, is it the oot sloggers next? And are you doing both sides or just the French?

Yep, foot sloggers next and yep, doing BOTH sides - Russians to start, then probably Prussians - like 1813/14.

A great foundation, they look brilliant. Hopefully you find the drive to add to them as you wish.

Good start on your collection and the numbers are nothing to scorn at!

Thanks Nick. It is a collection I have made several false starts with (

). Hopefully this time I can keep going and get it all on the table. Russians are coming on quite nicely.

Great collection of figs. Well done to you on your output and quality!

Like you (and many others), I have a massive collection of Naps but very few painted up. I have also wondered about what rules to go with as that often determines unit size. However, prior to reading/seeing your post, I was looking through the Black Powder rule sets and while I am not sure about the rules, I do like their concept of basing, namely going with small, med, and large units. For painting up, I am going to try and create large units to start with that can be broken down into med and small ones. So infantry being 24-36 figs (depending on nation)...as for the cavalry, I am really stuck on this as they do take a longer period to get done, so I might just opt for regts being 12 figs....at least to start with.

I have also opted for plastic for the mainstay of my forces, as I find those much easier to get done than metals. I do however use metals for commands, casualty, and such to create diversity in the forces.

Keep up the good work and remember, Napoleon's 1812 Grande Armee, and plan accordingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
