A Boatload of Perry Early British Napoleonics

[Arthur]

... which will allow you to roam the whole globe from 1800 until 1807 since Alan Perry seems intent on pulling out all the stops with his Brits :

More flank companies, two packs of marines and some dismounted light dragoons (many dragoons fought on foot and were issued infantry muskets because of a shortage of horses during the 1801 campaign). The last pack is intended for the Peninsula :

Beautiful!

In how large units would the dragoons and marines be organized?

Hm

French emigres at Quiberon seem possible from the flank companies 

nice !

They'd be small ones. I don't have the figures at hand for the marines, but at Alexandria, Finch's cavalry brigade numbered 1,170 men, 500 of whom were mounted. Hompesch's hussar regiment accounted for 150 of these, which leaves roughly 1,000 for the three light dragoon regiments (the 11th, 12th and 26th).

As with everything the Perrys do, outstanding sculpts.

What campaigns are these aimed at?

I presume there is a plan but I'm in the dark as to what it is. Please advise.

[carlos marighela]

I can't say campaign what the Perry brothers have aimed these at, apart from Egypt but many are good for the various Caribbean campaigns and some should do for things like Maida. The presence of dismounted dragoons means that the River Plate campaigns are possible at last. If only I had the time ad the money......

[the commissar]

It would be good to get a firing line/skirmishing pack of the flank co with crested hats.

I have not been able to find much on the uniforms of light dragoon trumpeters from say 1800 onwards - it looks like they wore reversed colours before the dolman was adopted late in the 18th Century but not sure what happened when the uniform changed.

Any one have some info?

Thanks

These look great.
For me, sadly, they are too late (post 1800 uniform) so imho not usable for french revolution, landings in north of Holland 1799 or as french emigré units before 1799 although for the last ones in the Osprey are some paintings about emigré units in closed to the waist and short tailed jackets.
So maybe limited use for 1795.

Nic Robson at Eureka has said that he intends to get around to the British for the French Revolutionary Wars. The range is still expanding, albeit more slowly so it's a real prospect, though I have no idea when. The Russians are already done so it probably just takes a bit of a push along.

[duc de limbourg]

Is it still expanding? Haven't seen anything new recently

It's been very quiet on the WFR front at Eureka over the past 18 months but a well informed source tells me that more Russians should be released soon - I don't have a date though.
