Last of the Brit Napoleonics





The title says it all. Only 4 more German Battalions and 1 Cavalry unit to finish the whole project.
The cavalry are Front Rank painted as the 3rd Dragoon Guards and 4th Dragoons.
The Brits are the 1st and 2nd Provisional Battalions short lived units that were a mix from different Regts. Made up of stragglers and men retuning to duty after being wounded. I found differing accounts of the units that provided men so facing colours may be wrong according to some sources. There should have been some Highlanders in the1st Batt but I did not have any minis to include them. The minis are a mix of Victrix and Perry. Most of the flank companies  have the Perry rifleman head as I assume that as Lt Inf Regt were represented they would have perfomed the duties of the light company.
The Brunswickers are again a mix of Victrix and Perry but with Victrix French shakos with the plate removed and Perry French backpacks. All lacing on the cuffs, shoulder tufts and turnbacks were cut away.
