Look good at a great price for 28mm.

Might get me into this yet

Great looking figures as you would expect from the Perries. Interesting decision to add these sap-green bases with each box. is this an attempt to standardise on some basing !!!

I've all the French infantry already that I will ever need but I will be tempted when the move onto artillery.

Could the chaps in greatcoats be used for the earlier uniform?

yes Adam,
only problem would perhaps be the Shako plate on the uncovered shakos

Excellent! I like the proportions of Perry figures but I will need opponents for my TAG Austrians and Eagle Spanish, rather than 100 Days French. It looks like the sprues come with a load of spare heads so even shako plates may not be an issue.

Hi all,

Well I take my hat off to the perry twins, first of all we get their 28mm plastic A.C.W.'s which I have two boxes of awaiting painting.......join the queue lad's :lol: Now we have these wonderful Napoleonic's and very nice too.Unfortunatly I started my "Waterloo Project" back in 1997 with first 15mm Essex and then 18mm AB figures for the French, Anglo-Allied and Prussian's forces.With 42 figures at £15 I might have done this in 28mm plastic's, but I must control myself when I see these at the show's.

Ray.
