Wow!  Great stuff as usual.  Just the right amount of animation for mounted, and foot command.  The French dragoons remind me of the of the drawing, pg. 38 in Osprey's Louis XIV army.

Great job on the "relaxed" pose for the dragoons.  Also, even though figures are not side by side, to me there is a significant difference between line and dragoon mounts, something I do not think I have ever seen in 18mm, let alone in smaller scales.  Even in 28mm this is not always the case.  With the colorful French dragoon uniforms, these will be really fun to paint, and will make a great contrast to French grey and blue uniforms.  Maybe these will be ready before the annual Pendraken painting contest?

I will need to give it some thought, but I think I could probably rig up something as a plug bayonet for existing infantry.

(BTW, being really picky here, but did mounted command in the French army have a waist belt for swords like the cavalry, or shoulder sling, or did they just do whatever they wanted to?)

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

May I be allowed to echo Maciek's plea: mounted horseholders, please.  The dismounted ones are more John Ford than John Churchill.

Personally can't answer that John....But a very warm welcome to the forum.  :-h
