Agreed, Patrick.
I've painted up the grenadiers as a short-lived Guards unit of Polish Grenadiers (1813). Truly figures with character.
As for the engineers, I've used them in a few games. Recently, a French rear guard, pursued by Russians, needed to hold off the enemy for a set number of turns & some random dice rolls whilst these sappers destroyed three bridges.
I won (not a frequent occurence) due to the excellence of the Strelets' figures, I'm sure

I wasn't even aware until now that Napoleon, Murat, & Poniatowski were part of this set.

Jozef Poniatowski's presence alone should justify Strelets giving the Polish contingent a much larger representation, especially given the bravery of this brave Polish-Lithuanuian General.

Leave off the "(Row 4)" when visiting the website!

The Polish Army marched with Napoleon to the Gates of Moscow with 100,000 troops, I would think that number alone would deserve some consideration.

Hi, Patrick,
a fair number of Poles wore French uniform so that is not a problem.
However, more in the Czapska & plastron-fronted tunic would be welcme.

Not having collected the "Osprey Series" in years (I have over 180), I was wondering if they ever did one on "Napoleon's Polish Allies" ???

yes is the answer, Osprey did publish one

Men-at-Arms number 45 "Napoleon's Polish Troops" by Pivka in 1974

think they may have re-issued it a few years back
