Sergio, [omissis] Gunter, great website for French uniforms of the period, but it's British trumpeter's that Sergio was enquiring about. Best Wishes, Ray. Many thanks, Ray: I would not have said it better myself! :D In any case, many thanks also to Gunter for its signaling of a very interesting sit...

Sergio, Your most welcome and here is my thread http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1311&start=150 which has the names of my Horse and Dragoon regiments on the following pages. Alec Brown of Front Rank miniatures does put alot of detail into his figures, but when it com...

Hi All! Excuse me, but from what I could understood, despite my not excellent knowledge of the English language (I rely on Google Translator) I did not have the intention to wage a new war between Ireland and England (or Great Britain)! :roll: My simple question related to just the dilemma: a) to fo...

I have noticed that, from manufacturer to manufacturer, there are different ways of sculpting lace and buttons. So it may not be a simplification as much as the determination by the sculptor that the lace would not be distinguishable from the coat on a 25mm figure. You can always paint it in if you...

Hi Belg, It might help if you tell us the Front Rank figure code for the one your using. Is it BSP2 or SSC2 or SSC30. BSP2 is the British personality trumpeter and upto date I haven't used this figure, but one will be used when I do my Duke of Marlborough & his general's command diorama. So far whe...

Hi, I have a problem concerning the painting of the miniature of the Trumpeter of the Duke of Marlbouroug. :cry: In the image I found on the Osprey book dedicated to Marlbouroug's Army, the Trumpeter is wearing the uniform of the Guards and the red coat has covered almost entirely with gold ribbon, ...

Do you know if by chance there was, at that time (Napoleonic era), some field battles between European armies and "tribal" ones? Thank you, The 1812 War between Britain and America where the native tribes ended up fighting for both sides. Cheers Dave He Dave, many thanks for your answer. Cheers, Se...

From what I read on the Infantry of the Napoleonic era, the distance between two Battalions to fire was quite close: 50 meters for the Line Infantry and between 100 and 200 for the Companies Skirmishers and Light Infantry Battalions. In your opinion, such distances were taken even against enemies su...

Theoretically, British blues were darker, with the blue used on royal regiments and light cavalry supposed to be almost black. [omissis] Basically, I advise figuring out a blue palette YOU like the looks of. As long as it's not sky blue, you're on a firm historical basis. O.K., Bob, many thanks for...

Hi, in the pictures of Ugo Pericoli I found in the book "1815 The Armies at Waterloo", it seems to me that the shades of blue uniforms of the British army is different from that of the French. Someone please tell me if the french and british blue were actually different, in which case could he to su...

Hi, EvilGinger! many thanks for your English lesson. There is always to learn! :lol: Congratulations for your nickname! :twisted: We in Italy, it sounds a bit "funny": Ginger (also in the diminutive form "Gingerino" (small Ginger)) is an aperitif with no alcohol. Then, Evil Ginger sounds like "Ging...

Hi Belg, First of all "Tweeked" = To slightly change!!! The flag I have used for Lumley's Horse...on the Robert Hall colour plate there are two flag's a colonel's and a regimental. The colonel's flag is red, while the regimental flag is yellow as seen. My reason for using the yellow flag was becaus...

Hi, in case, any of you have already assembled the ammunition wagons of the Front Rank - Series War of the Spanish Succession? I have trouble understanding how to connect the horse or the horses to the wagon. The wagon with 4 wheels, which should be pulled by 2 horses, has the same helm of the one w...

Belg' welcome to the joys of native English/Scots speakers abusing their own language. Tweeked can also be read as adjusted usually in a small way in the context it was used. :evil: Ginger Hi, EvilGinger! many thanks for your English lesson. There is always to learn! :lol: Congratulations for your ...
