Getting back to WB figures after a long period of not purchasing much from them. Got these guys out from my small Napoleonic collection. Mainly WB and a few friends. Shows the french attack on the farmhouse that was eventually taken for a couple of hours late in the day. The French moved artillery up to the farmhouse but 95 rifles stationed in a sand pit near the farm picked off the gunners - silencing the guns fairly quickly.

hope you enjoy

WB produced Nassau infantry who fought for the Allies at Waterloo.

They are a great addition to Waterloo dioramas as elements of the two Nassau Regiments fought at a number of locations on the Waterloo battlefield, including La Haye Sainte and their vital role at Hougoumont.
It would be great if Britains would issue more of these, especially an officer, NCO, and drummer.
 
Hi Gary,
Very nice set up and action packed pictures.....
If I may ask who made the farm house/farm complex...it is very nice and full of details...
Cheers

As previously mentioned farmhouse made by Foam Senics. I got mine in 2011. Small one man enterprise and I think no longer trades.
