Well! Just when  you get to the end of the end, something kicks you in the artillery park!

My last planned (yes, I know that's a meaningless comment) is the Kingdom of Italy in 1813. I have happily been using French proxies for most of Napoleon's allies and yet Eugene has done me up like a kipper.

Italian Horse Artillery wore a czakpa. The dastards! They're not Polish, not even lancers, what on earth are they doing wearing a Polish lancer's hat? Of course, Polish artillery of the time wore shakos like gentlemen, so I am somewhat stuffed.

Cunning plan at the moment is to use a pack of Polish command and with a snip and a lick of paint. and doubtless many curses create a couple of artilley crew.

I think the 1809 Duchy of Warsaw horse artillery should suffice (NDW11) they wore czapkas until 18010

Thank you. From the photos on the website it looks as if they are in shakos.

It's a good lead.
