Its 10mm FFS, without a magnifying glass will you really notice whether the Brit shakos are Belgic or not, sheesh.

Both Baccus and Adler sell different figures for Belgic and stovepipe shako in 6mm.





I would be interested to see what a British Napoleonic 10mm one-design-suits-all shako looks like, especially since the shape, size, and shako plate of the Belgic and stovepipe shakos were all different.

Not of course if you need 1815 Brits & Prussians, the latter of course, for the unaware, fought and played a most significant part in the largest battle of the Napoleonic wars, where all nations were involved.
Only Wellington and Blucher were there and able to engage Napoleon. But then if I wasn't aware of this and that the troops actually looked different , I would be quite relaxed about it.

I may sound a bit nationalistic here, but if I'm correct about a third of the combined allied armies at Waterloo consisted of Dutch troops and contrary to common belief they played an important role. Hadn't it been for the Prince of Orange and his decision to take a stand at Quattre Bras there would not even have been a battle of Waterloo and the split between the allied and Prussian armies would have been complete... Wellington, though in command of the field army, actually had to get approval from the Dutch court for any plans including the Dutch troops in the allied army. Just a thought, but one largely overlooked by many...

Indeed. Also huzzah for the Hanoverians and Brunswickers. Even the "British" element contained the Kings Germans Legion who were ... German.

Actually Waterloo is an excellent British campaign. Get the Europeans to fight amongst themselves and claim the victory!

And don't forget; allies are also very convenient when you lose a battle; there's always someone else around to blame!

Cheers!

The Austrian Rocket for the 1866 range that I have been waiting so patiently and un-fsn like for the past two years. I'll even pay for the sculpt - please!
