Dont worry Paul, no controversy here. Just a general discussion about if the French really did wear soaking wet, heavy greatcoats at Waterloo, so in no way aimed at your excellent painted figures.
I too have some guard infantry in greatcoats, some line battalions too.
I like the look of greatcoated French mixed together with the regular uniformed troops, gives an impression of how quickly they were mobilised and obviously the change from it being an imperial army to royal, only to go back to imperial again.

Dear Paul,

Beautifully painting, basing and presentation of these fine figures.

I tried to post a comment this morning our time, but got a message that the forum was 'full'. Pleased that it is not now!
