2/24th (2nd Warwickshire Regiment) Foot - Howard's Greens

[carojon]

Hi all,
Just finished the 2/24th Foot, one of the second battalions shipped out to bolster Wellesley's forces after the losses suffered in Sir John Moore's Corunna Campaign.



These chaps were a "straight of the boat" green unit when they appeared at Talavera, but their battle performance left them as a hard core fighting second battalion of veterans. It turned out that only their facings were green.

Impressive.   I thought they were 28mm at first.

Hi RC_Robert.
Thank you. That's the idea, I use 18mm figures to get the detail I want from a 28mm but to allow the mass effects of lots of figures for a Napoleonic game. This scale is a great compromise, with plenty of good ranges on offer.
Cheers
