K&C Napoleonics (1 Viewer)

[Molloy]

No need to worry too much, Molloy, I think we all really knew what you were intending, and I agree it would be exciting to see another British regiment enter the K&C universe. Here is a sample of one of my favorite Napoleonic era paintings depicting another Line Regiment, the 28th Gloucestershire Regiment at Quatre Bras. One day I hope somebody produces the front ranker slightly to right of center with the big fat smirk on his face....

He, he, now that man looks like he's enjoying himself, despite all that's going on around him! I've always liked that painting, really sums up the redcoat of the Napoleonic era (even if the headgear's wrong).

Damian, no worries at all mate, I know 100% what you mean! The over-riding characteristic of the British Army was, and still definitely is, that each and every single unit has its own very specific traditions/regional affiliations etc., so picking one "average" unit to represent them all is a hard job, to say the least! Naturally though, I will hold my hands up and admit to just a certain bias towards the Irish ruffians of Wellington's army!

Cheers lads,

Molloy.
