1st Division, 1st Corps, French 1870

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Started this project in 2013, 10 years later the infantry for 1st Corps are finished. The cavalry and Corps artillery have been despatched, thanks Leon. Will move onto 2nd Division 3rd Corps by about 2034 at this rate!

Anyway...
1st Division, done!


My basing and labelling, originally for Volley and Bayonet, now Corps/divisional scale Black Powder (insert 'if I could do it again I would change...' comments)


Advance!


My view


The details are what takes the time ion a batch this size. Hand painted flags and the backpacks took about a day each!


Support assests from 8th & 9th Cuirassiers from the cavalry division and 99th Infantry from 7th Corps


Allows me to think about running Worth as a battle


One day I will field all the corps I own (FrenchI  now have the Guard, 1st, 2nd, 4th & parts of 5th and 7th)


But I still love FPW!

All look great as usual, but there appear to be a fair few bendy rifles being waved around.

I was having a lot of Chassepot bend on this batch
