Hear, hear (approving drumming on the table)! I have been waiting for such a set for ages: proper ratio elites and fusiliers, all in marching pose and with an appropriate command. The Waterloo set lacks marching elites, the Hat set lack good and sharp detail.
Totally agree with my esteemed fellow collectors/wargamers/dioramabuilders. True fusiliers and flankcompanies in proper ratio on the march as described and in attack muskets with bayonets lowered in three stages, horizontal for the first line, at two oçlock for the second line and at one oçlock for the third line(you wouldn't want to shove it into your fellow troopers... to recite the ever famous corporal Jones). I would also be delighted if similar sets were produced both in greatcoat(that can cover the whole period from say 1808 to 1815) and in summer uniform for the period 1808-1812. Shall we agree that they will be delivered with bare flagpoles? I would be buying them in quantities.
Hi to all.In general we don’t have excellent set of french infantry in baradin 1812 uniforms esci,italeri, messed up uniforms uncoretly done,then later italeri set chubby stile showed up.waterloo 1815 got us set which I can use it partly but not enough. Hat call to arms too small.airfix the worst of all.looks like bad karma is upon french later period infantry. I got so many headaches for it. I suport all french line infantry in baradin regulation uniforms so I don’t have to buy so many sets to combine and scalvage so many sets in order to convert and get satisfied results.apparently there is no clear winner.if correctly done sets with short gaiters and long trousers (two sets to allow us have variety) that would be multiple buying jump on sets as long as properly done.best regards.
