Ready for Thursday, 16th Division VIII Corps.
In my 1870 Campaign, they've been in action 3 times now, so I might as well have them for real.
They are also useful as they turned up late evening at Mars-La-Tours and were part of Von Steinmetz command at Borney and Saarbruken and were all but destroyed by Frossard's II Corps at Gravelotte-Saint Privat.






Command




9th Hussars (attached to division)



72nd Infantry (close up to show the mix of 1866 and 1870 figures)

Loving the hussar blue, it's really striking, brings the figures to life.

Only the hussars survived, the rest were cruelly ambushed by the French!

I like the bases too! neat and evocative.
how wide are them? which rules are they intended for?

well done!

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Thank you. They were intended for Volley and Bayonet, but now they get used for Black Powder!  ;D
