You have to hunt around to get variety.  But there are many British dead on some of my French sprues if you want a few?

 Ahead of you sir. I did a round up of what's out there only last week for British casualties and found quite a few, surprisingly. Front Rank, Perry's, Redoubt and Britannia. And I think Trent?
For the French, Old Glory do whole packs of casualties, but not British.

Offensive miniatures have some nice casualty options as well in their Nappies range

Yup, the cannon is offensive minis plus a few other bits. 

No worries James, will sort a few out.

Ok, two command stands painting underway...

Another dry sunny day in the garden....painting progresses!  At this rate I may even get these command bases finished today! Perhaps.



To stop myself going completely potty, I have also decided I will get the missing horses for the 17th Dragoon’s finished and based.   After I’ve painted the infantry, I intend to paint the riders which will give me a completed 3rd Heavy cavalry Brigade.

I find painting horses themselves quite cathartic (not sure about the riders)

Need basing....but first stand is painted!  However....I just realised something....I was painting 82nd in my head, hence green cuffs.....but 103rd was crimson! Dimwit!  I will have to sort that out later.....I’m just happy to be painting! Lol

When you & Vodkafan have your big Napoleonic battle, can I play?

Of course....may be a while yet mind!

I’m loving the fact I have two British armies converging on me, with Colonel’s Vodkafan and Scrubber (insert proper names and titles gents)  building arms against me.   Going to have to up my game.

I lost the war of escalation against Brian’s Austrians, I do not want a repeat against the Anglo / Portugese. 

Saying that, if I recall, the Austrians are all infantry.....mmmmm.....another Dragoon regiment and a pair of infantry units may be enough to give them a bloody nose....

Which units is Colonel Scrubber doing?
 Mine is the 2nd Brigade of the Light Division

If I remember right:
 
2/95th Rifles
1/52nd Light Infantry
1/17th
2/17th Portuguese Line
1st Cazadores
16th Light Dragoons
Ross' Battery RHA

I picked that as the best mix of uniforms in one formation
