My friend Erik and I have decided to take a plunge into a Sharp Practice Peninsular War project, he'll be getting the Brits and _I the French.
Looking at one of the suggested lists in the rule book there is a heavy emphasis on Light Infantry and I unsure of what minis to get, so I need you guys' help.
I have been looking at Perry plastic Late French Line Infantry - which I have seen painted as Light Infantry, but I am thinking that there are to few skirmishers in the set and perhaps 1812 in not the best year for the Peninsular War. I am also looking at Victrix French Infantry 1807-1812, they are the correct period, but I have no idea whether they can be used for Light Infantry.
So do I get the Perry plastics, and add a few blister sets of their metal minis? Or is everything I need in the Victrix box set? Or is there some other possibility that I have not seen?
Normally I am not to picky on getting the correct uniform, but I want to get this right from the beginning.
I would really appreciate some help on this, so that I can place an order.
