Returning to Napoleonics - 10mm 1806 proxies
« on: November 16, 2023, 10:15:55 PM »

After a long break I'm finally returning to a long abandoned 10mm 1806/Jena Project using DBN. Now I'm not a major Napoleonic gamer hence requesting info here. As at the time Pendraken didn't do suitable figures I used Lancer for my Prussian and French foot along with a few Magister Militum and MM for Prussian cavalry as I'm not a fan of the Lancer ones.

Since then Pendraken ranges have now expanded (e.g.1809 and Rev War) and Magister ranges are currently AWOL. So I'm looking for suitable proxies for the period.

I think I can use 1809 Saxons for the 1806 Saxons in bicorne. Any minor differences fine in 10mm.

What other French troops (cavalry and infantry) can I get away with using from earlier or later (1809) French ranges?

I know it was a period of transition so hoping some of the Rev War/1809 would work and may even be options for some of the French in White with bicornes...

Any advice/comments most gratefully received. And with Battleground approaching I'm hoping to get a little order in.

Cheers

Andy
