Napoleonic Paintings You Would Like to Represent (2 Viewers)

[Spitfrnd]

One of the great things here is sharing various scenes made my members with their figures, and for this forum, FL figures. Of course for many of us, our collections are a WIP and thus I thought it might be interesting to compare some scenes we would like to create but for whatever reason, have not yet. Of course some will require additional releases and others, more figures for our collections but time cures many such problems so why not dream now? Naturally the same question could be asked for the other FL (or other) lines so feel free to transplant the them to other threads as you like. This one is for us few but dedicated Napoleonic fans. To get the ball rolling, here is one of my favorites, from one of my favorite battles, I would like to represent. For it I need some fighting Highlanders or British Redcoats and some rural transportable town buildings would be nice.

Absolutely George, certainly I would not fool you with one of these. However, from the many accounts, it could just as easily represent one of the many charges of the 79th Highlanders into the village of Fuentes d'Onoro, my favorite Napoleonic battle. So in this case, apart from the unit, the means to do one would be the means to do both. Of course, a similar scene for the 1/24th or 188th would just a nice.

While not a well known battle, this one featured one of the few successful charges of infantry versus cavalry and includes some French Dragoons that I would very much like to see.
