I noticed they all have red epaulets. that would make the entire unit grenadiers in 1859, correct? I've been painting mine with green/red epaulets for fusilier companies and yellow for light companies.Don_Wilbrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507127007553509703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-30605922976836044392015-04-13T07:27:57.084-07:002015-04-13T07:27:57.084-07:00Thanks, Michael and congratulations on the new pos...Thanks, Michael and congratulations on the new posting!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-7170594667000487572015-04-12T06:51:21.464-07:002015-04-12T06:51:21.464-07:00Ces't un regiment très jolie and un travail fo...Ces't un regiment très jolie and un travail formidable!

Now, the 1859 project will be see some work.<br /><br />Interesting anecdote regarding the red trousers. I should look into that.<br /><br />Although the Raab battle set up on the game table will be a leisurely affair (that is, who knows when I might get cracking on it), I have been considering a Risorgimento game to follow. After the French/Italians and Austrians have fought over this ground, I may leave the layout as is and refight it with the 1859 armies.

Very chic looking lignards, and I'm duly seconding your choice of 12-figure units as ideal for battalion sized games. I read somewhere that the red pants army standard came up as part of a mineral surplus from some French colony in the early 19th Cent. Not sure it checks out, but it is amazing that they looked like this way into WW1. Looking forward to the Austrian reinforcements!
