I have always been a fan of the napoleonic period, in fact I study it academically. I have tried building armies in 28mm but considering that the size of the armies I want to do (close to 1-1 or 1-10representation.) The scale was not working for the speed I wanted to paint line infantry. So I picked up a 1/72nd italeri set and tried it out, loved the time the ligne took me, and picked up another box and then went hunting for deals.

It turns out a friend was getting rid of his stuff, and I have now acquired and have a 5.5 lb box of mini's in the mail to me. It worked out to 1256 mini's.

As it stands though, this is what I have painted. Comments and criticism welcome.

What gaming system is this for? What style of warfare dis they use and are you trying to replicate it on the tabletop?

Looking very nice for 1/72. And also great to see here. Are you being accurate with the colors? I hear historicals gamers can get really persnickety about that.

You're talking to a man with a history degree. Although not able to claim a focus academically, my focus was on black powder warfare.

The costs should be darker but they had a habit of fading while on campaign.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/666946/8196150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/666946/8196150.page GMT Re:Vive l'empereur - the grande armee in 1/72nd.
