These are very, very hard to find and if you should be lucky to find one, it will be rather expensive.

You know if you think outside the box, & w/ how many Napoleonic soldiers K&C has, you could design your own chess set. Back in the eighties, I did just that very same thing w/ designing a chess set from 20mm Lord of the Rings figures & hand painting the board & building the background from scratch.

Granted, using K&C figures might cost upwards to $2,000.00, including the chess board, but it would be fun creating your own design. That would make a nice one of a kind display!

years ago I made chess sets depicting Waterloo, Gettysburg, American Revolution, Roman Civil War and Medieval knights.
I Painted my own Imrie-Risely and Stadden figures as well as painted Tradition, Glossy Britains, Banners Forward and other
smaller makers.
Some I painted with a protective coating and mounted them on small wooden bases. I had a carpenter friend help me with
the boards and used either painting or photo etching under the squares.

I gave them all as gifts and they were very much appreciated. Its a great project for the times!
