Hi Sammy,
Your idea is excellent{bravo}}: I'll copy and I too will post only one thread Napoleonics my photos ....
To start "some old shots!" "color existed in the 19th century!" ^&grin^&grin^&grin
Guy.

First empire, I allowed myself a "little madness" of a scene into how improbable or rewrite history ......!
"Emperor infantry defended position after pushing the enemy out of the English castle farm commonly called Hougoumont ...."


Ney leads the cavalry charge

Hi Guy ,
Great all the way around {bravo}}{bravo}}{bravo}}{bravo}} I have often wondered WHAT IF things had been different at Waterloo .. The Ney figure is one of the 10 First Legion figures I own just GREAT ... Regards Gebhard

Russian campaign (1812) - retired .....
Napoleon, "the beginning of the end.
November 7, when they reached Smolensk, a new enemy appeared, the famous "General Winter", which arrived well in advance and make matters worse, would prove to be the coldest yet seen in Russia for over a century.
The temperature drops to -22 degrees and the ground is covered with snow.
After using the scorched earth policy, the Russians employed a strategy of guerrilla warfare.
Harassed by the Cossacks, but also by other "enemies" unexpected ...... many units isolated, weakened, hungry .... never saw the France .......Guy.

Hi all,

Very nice work as usual Guy!

Just curious: what is the castle in the background? It looks like the "château de Blois" in France with its exterior circular staircase but I know it is not. Merci !
