FPW - game ready

Finally got the last few figures painted up that I need for the upcoming part 3 of our mini campaign. First up is the 2nd Regiment of Mecklenberg infantry. These will be used to support the Hessian Division. Like the last regiment the figures are from Old Glory with the command from Outpost / Reiver castings.

The second unit I painted was a third regiment of Chasseurs d'Afrique along with a Divisional commander. These figures are from Friekorps and a good match with the Outpost and Essex figures I've used so far for mounted troops. These were the final regiment required for a second reserve division of cavalry.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, I was re-organising my French forces, reducing the strength of XII Corps and building up IV Corps and the reserve cavalry to support III Corps which is currently unchanged. I've also been re-labelling all of the command bases (thankless work).

XII Corps

With these added to III Corps, I now have 7 infantry divisions and 5 cavalry divisions for the game. Thom will be providing I Corps, so far with another 3 infantry divisions and a possible cavalry division if he can get them painted by 24th May.

Now I just need to pluck up the courage to make a start on re-labelling the Prussian army. Thankfully the Wurtemberg division and 1 division of Bavarians are already done. Just leaves 5 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions to go.
