BRB's Away Day: La Garde!

Below you can see French reinforcements arriving, to support the faltering attack on the Fleches.  The front Brigade is of Swiss and Italians (returning from the table after a blunder), and beyond them are no less than seven battalion of Garde in their blue greatcoats, and a unit of lancers.



The above shot is of part of La Garde.   These are mostly my figures (4 bn. of Chasseurs, and one of Grenadiers a Pied), and I'll take a few shots of them later this weekend.  They came on behind the centre, but were somewhat delayed by the press of troops to their front...


And finally for today, above is a shot of my three regiments of Dragoons cantering onto the table, late in the game.  I still need to detail and base the fourth regiment and the horse artillery to finish off this Division... but they do have a certain impact...

  5. Hi Phil, the Eyeties are RTB's but I agree, rather splendid. The flags look great in contrast with the white uniforms.

    Cheers, Simon
