French Horse Artillery - Talavera
« on: January 07, 2017, 01:26:56 PM »
The second French Horse Artillery battery is now finished in the process to complete various odds and ends in the French and British orders of battle for Talavera before focusing on the last Spanish units required.



With this post I thought it might be interesting to look at the development of French artillery and horse artillery in particular together with thoughts on modelling them.

Lovely painting (and perfect timing as I just picked some of these from Eureka yesterday). Thanks for the effort in writing that blog entry.
