FPW, the dilema

While I have been painting up additional troops for the Franco Prussian war, with more to come, especially for the Prussians. I need more French, even with Thom starting on I Corps. So dear readers I painted up another French regiment and this is where my dilema begins. I have so far come up with 2 relevant options and a 3rd.

Option 1, is to use them as the start of the 4th Division of III Corps, which would actually complete the Corps. However I'm not sure if a single division would be enough, especially when I'm about to add a division of Hessians. I could look at adding either 1 or both Divisions of the Guards.

Option 2, is to start another French Corps, probably IV Corps. It does have 3 infantry divisions, but just 2 would probably suffice and also add in the cavalry division.

Option 3, this is in addition to either option 1 or 2. Paint up the cavalry reserve for the Army of the Rhine. Gotta love cavalry for this period, even if they weren't very good.

Got a couple of weeks to make a decision and then start to make the purchases that I need. Meanwhile here is the painted regiment.

The figures, as always from Outpost/Reiver castings. I'm now awaiting a small order for the Chasseurs and a second line regiment.
