New Additions to the Napoleonics Collection

 Wurttemberg Chevaux Leger Cavalry

And some Portuguese Infantry in French Service

Russian Batteries

 Added a Position (heavy) Battery and Horse Battery to the lineup.

Lousy photos for some reason.  Need to reset my lighting.

Battle of Shevardino, Sort of

 Using all my Russian troops and a somewhat historical order of battle, a group of use played a game of General d'Armee loosely based on the fight for the Shevardino redoubt.   Shevardino was preliminary battle before the big fight at Borodino.  

Bascially the Russain 27th Division backed up by cavalry and grenadier brigade try to hold or at least inflict casualties as Compans 5th Divisision advances with support from the 1st Cavalry Division.

A few scenes from the battle.

The battle lines.  French infantry battalions advancing from the left against a heavy Russian skirmish line screening the Shevardino Redoubt and the deployment of the Russian 27th Division behind (right side of photo) the redoubt.

A ccouple close up of the battery in position at the redoubt.

French infantry advancing with skirmish screen out front.

French infantry pushing back Russian Jaegers (deployed in skirmish order)

Russian infantry advancing to support the redoubt

Uh oh!  Here comes the Russian Cuirassier

The opposing French cavalry hesitate at a critical moment!  Infantry form squares.

First French square is hit by heavy cavalry and lose formation and are dispersed by the heavy cavalry.

Another square holds of the Russian heavy cavalry

Russisn and French light cavalry meet and ultimately the French are driven back.  Though the French later charge with another light cavalry to stabilize the situation.

The Russian Cuirassier line up on another French square while the light cavalry (on right of photo) continue the fight.  Note the fresh, elite French lancers waiting to delivery their blow.

French move artillery and their own heavy cavalry to face the onrushing Russian heavy cav on the right.

And that's where we left it.  To be continued.

Russian Akhtyrsk Hussars

 Some more Russian Hussars to add to the order of battle.  Pleased with how these guys turned out.  Need to brush some grass off the front rank though.  AB figures are fine indeed and I like it when the paint job is good enough to show off some of the quality of the sculpt.  

British Light Troops

 Finished up three units of British and Scottish light troops.  43rd Light (white), 52nd Light (buff), and 71st Highland (buff plus the hat band) Light Infantry.  This took a bit!  Add my 95th Rifles and Cazadore to the 43rd and 52nd and I have the Light Division.  I have some light dragoons and KGL Hussars around somewhere.    Looks like I forgot to darken base edges . . . 

New Battalions for Napoleonic Russian Order of Battle

 Grenadier Battalion to be slotted in for the Kiev Grenadiers of the 2nd Grenadier Division.  I need to get a proper flag for the battalion.

Jaeger Battalion to be slotted in for the 50th Jaeger Regiment of the 27th Division.

Gluckhovski Cuirassier

 Finished another unit of Russian Cuirassier.  This is a couple of squadrons from the Gluknov Regiment.

Napoleonic Generals and Aides de Camp

 Finished up a group of French ADC's and Russian Generals and ADC's
