Finished a Division of French Infantry at 1:15 ratio

As a follow on to finally settling the base size and ratio issue: http://wardepot.blogspot.com/2011/02/6mm-or-15mm-160-or-115-debate-finalised.html all the rebasing is complete and touchups are done. Most were debased and rebased, some were simply glued together and others had their magnet removed and then grouped together on a larger magnet. Pretty quick actually.

Then I had to go through and redo all the pom poms and plumes so their companies match correctly.

Se here we are. My 1st French Infantry Division at 1:15 ratios.


All my French Divisions are based on 2 x Brigades of 2 x Regiments with each Regiment having 3 x Battalions at paper strength of 720men.  This is then adjusted for historical refights or combined for the larger Brigades in Russia. Pretty flexible. 1 x Regiment is always Legere (light infantry).

The Legere regiment leads with 1 battalion in line and 2 battalions in column of attack in support. Behind those are the 2nd regiment from the 1st Brigade and then the 2nd Brigade in column or march.

 A Legere battalion in line


 A line battalion in column of attack, 2 companies wide

 A battery of 8 guns

 A foot artillery piece and crew in action

2nd Brigade marching up in column of march

On to the 2nd Division now and then jump into a Cavalry Division.

I've been following your blog for sometime and must say your inspired me to finally paint up the box of 6mm Naps I have in the lead pile.

One of my main gripes with Empire was the smallness of the battalions, they never looked quite right to me, purely a personal taste issue but important to me all the same. Thanks for renewing mt interest in these rules and figure scale.
