Help with French Infantry Wanted

Frenchtom,

HaT set 8042 French Light Infantry provides Grenadiers and Voltigeurs for set 8041. The only difference is the cuffs, which can be painted over.

If you want a battalion of light infantry, you will need figures from HaT set 8041 for the centre companies.

For officers, drummers and standard bearers, you can use figures from Waterloo 1815 set AP009 Polish Infantry, though you will need to swap heads and paint over the Polish kurtka to resemble the post-1812 Bardin jacket. Like me, you may end up with several battalions of Polish infantry.

The forthcoming 1815 Marching French infantry will contain elites and centre company figures in the correct proportions, but sadly no officers, drummers or standard bearers. I am hoping that the new figures will be compatible with the Zvezda French Infantry Command set, but I also hope that HaT decides to produce 1815 French command figures.

I hope this helps.
