The second regiment in my dragoon brigade, I particularly liked the dark green uniform, an unusual feature in the French army of the period. The unit served both in Flanders (Steenkirk and Neerwinden) and in Italy. The troopers are all Dixons mounted on their smaller dragoon ponies; the officer and standard bearer are Foundry. The flag (a bit of a luxury in 40mm scale) is from GMB.Over the next couple of months I hope to start featuring other parts of my growing collection.
Nice looking figures, the flag looks great, I like the oversized look for cavalry flags, in reality some are so small you'd never see any detail. Keep 'em coming.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree Ray - am doing a Swiss Pike block at the moment (Italian Wars) and the flags will be a monster 50mm square - should look good!
