Light infantry that can also be used as line infantry in Spain, although they do look quite smart for that theatre of war. However, a cunny paint job (intentionally sloppy) can remedy that.:grinning:
Light infantry, as indicated by the hunting horn badge on the stovepipe shako and the 'wings' of their shoulder straps.
As Thomas has said, they could be used as light cos of line regiments pre adoption of the belgic shako. [By regulations 1812, but received/adopted sometime between 1812–14, although the 28th (only?), someone will correct this if incorrect, wore the stovepipe at Waterloo.] Just requires a bit of blurring of the hunting horn badge. Grenadier companies in stovepipe too. A bit of knife work and they could serve as centre companies in stovepipe, if desired.
The British light infantry regiments have not been done often, or particularly well, so these will be a really useful, as well as good looking, addition to the scale.
We'll have to keep waiting for some more Austrian 'German' infantry in shako and be-spoke US infantry of 1812–14 :grinning: .
Thank you for the very informative answer James. It was very helpful. And I will be waiting right there with you for those 1812 Americans. Have always wanted to build an American Napoleonic army for wargaming!
