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.

I have long be waiting for these dismounted (not foot) Dragoons like these to face off against some British lads in green.

These would be awesome and I know it would be expensive, but a horse holder would be an interesting figure. I would assume that they had about the same system of "one in four"holding the bridals as in the American Civil War.
I have not run accross that detail but knowing horses I would expect four would be about all you would want to hold, especially in a combat environment. I wouldn't think it would matter much since at $100 per horse, even 2 would be plenty for this purpose. Speaking of horses and Napoleonic scenes, this Russian artist does a really excellent job with them.You raise a very interesting point. I am not sure exactly what the procedure was with French horse handlers, but it certainly would be worth investingating...and I agree, would make some excellent figures, including mix and match horses.

Hi Hans, Most of the Russian paintings I have posted are by Alexander Averyanov. You can see his work at this site, especially under battle paintings.Hi Spitfrnd! - What is the ressource about these grat pictures about War in Russia 1812? Great pictures, and I wanna buy some prints using as background for an Borodino Diorama. Best from Hans
Well now, we can't be hav'n that, now can we mate.WOWtwo post in a row and not one to do with British troops or the Peninsula .....
That's more like itI think doing these lads would be a very wise business decision for First Legion $$$$$$$$$ One that may make some collectors not yet collecting First Legions Napoleonic line make the move . All the best Gebhard
I am really curious what the next release will be and I haven't even gotten the Highlanders yet!! No pleasing some people!![]()
Yes those are some possibilities but with the Rifles you need to think Rolica, Coruna, La Porta, Talavera, the Coa, Bucaco, Barrosa, Fuentes D'Orno, Albuera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vitoria, Maya, San Sebastion, Pyrennes, Roncesvalles, Sorauren, Bera, Nivelle, Orthez, Bayonne, Toulouse, not to mention numerous clashes. One must keep focus on the right things.I'm with ya brotherI find myself thinking a lot about what will be next... will First Legion branch out to cover another Battle
There are just so many possibilities ..Aspern-Essling, Austerlitz ,Bautzen ,Eylau ,Dresden , Leipzig, Friedland ,Jena ,Marengo, Wagram , Ulm ,Battle of the Pyramids.. just to name a few....
