While the basic Legere uniform is relatively muted, at least through 1809, the addition of light cavalry styles, Colpacks, Bearskins, and the like can make them look like the elite troops they knew themselves to be! :-)<br /><br />The Legere Voltigeurs are especially fun as they can have all kinds of variations of yellow red, and/or green for their plumes, cords, epaulets, sword knots and the like... not to mention the deliciously over the top Colpacks!<br /><br />Tanks for the rear view; No we weren't about to attempt a "Maneuvre sur les Derrieres"; I wanted to see how you'd handled the turnbacks and also the bags on the Colpacks. Excellent!<br /><br />I have seven units of Legere (and 28 of Ligne); I'm thinking I need another "Division" of 4 more Ligne and another Legere! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-46628555245948946342015-03-24T16:56:48.201-07:002015-03-24T16:56:48.201-07:00have some spare Perry Hussar heads with those - mi...have some spare Perry Hussar heads with those - might have to put 'em on some light infantry someday :)!DeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-63696942706184648312015-03-24T16:52:01.125-07:002015-03-24T16:52:01.125-07:00They look the business Jonathan,
