Napoleonic French cavalry

[Ochoin]

With finishing the 2nd Carabiniers, I've completed my Napoleonic French cavalry corps. 20mm plastic & metal figures from a range of manufacturers.

Scaled down, of course, it has 2 brigades of 3 cavalry regiments:

Under General d'Hautpol are 3 units of cuirassiers:

Under General Nansouty are 2 Carabinier units and Polish Lancers:

All under the command of Marshal Bessieres:


They may or may not be great fighters but they do have style.

Definitely!

A very nice cavalry corps you`ve assembled Ochoin........ really like your bases too!

Wonderful figures, Donald!

Smashing work Donald! Just my style too. I'm jealous of your carabiners and have no regular lancers or gendarme but I'm done when I get those. I'm sure they will acquit themselves splendidly next time they do battle. Lovely stuff.

People on this forum are too nice. Thanks for the kind comments.

BTW I am very tempted to add a third brigade. More cuirassiers & perhaps a dragoon regiment. But, no.
This corps is already big enough for any "home" game I would have & extra units would not get much use.

But keep in mind, that dragoons are really an important part of Nappies Cavalry as are mounted Chasseurs.
