2nd Regiment Legion Portugaise

The 2nd Regiment Legion Portugaise was part of Marshal Ney's Third Corps. They were under Razout's 11th Division in Compere's Brigade. Compere was killed at Borodino.

This unit is from the rest of the pack of Portuguese my daughters bought me for Christmas. They are Old Glory miniatures.  I painted them with different details so I can tell the two regiments apart on the table.

General Raevski

This an AB Russian General who I've painted to be General Raevski.

My youngest daughter came home from college on Christmas break and asked me for a figure to bring back to college with her. So I decided to paint a new one for her. Now this guy will be heading to Burlington Vermont on Monday.

1st Regiment Legion Portugaise

The 1st Regiment of the Legion Portugaise was in Marshal Ney's Third Army Corps. They were part of the 10th Division.

The Legion suffered heavy during the Russian campaign. They were at Smolensk, Vitebsk and Borodino.

It is said that they were highly regarded by Napoleon.  He called them his "Black Infantry ". But he would never let them have Eagles or standards.

I asked for these Old Glory Portuguese for Christmas from my daughters and they came through.

French 15th Legere

Happy New Year.

The 15th Legere Regiment was part of the Frist Army Corps of Marshal Davout. They were in the 2nd Division under Friant in the Russian campaign.

Knotel did a plate of the cornet in 1810 so I based the 2 musicians on that.

The figures are all 15mm  Bluemoon miniatures. Except the 2 shooting. Which are 15mm Essex. 

French 93rd Line Regiment

The 93rd were involved in the most battles and combats of any regiment in the French Army with 76. They were even at Trafalgar. The next regiment was the 28th Line with 52. The 93rd also had three Battle Honors.

The 93rd Line was part of the III Army under Ney. In the 11th Infantry Division under Razout.

These miniatures are Old Glory and the command is Bluemoon. The voltigeur is a Essex figure.

French cannon

This is a 15mm Old Glory French gun. I painted this to unit to add to my battery.

French 18th Line Regiment ,The Brave

The next Line Regiment under Ney's III Corp. The 18th Line was in Razout's 11th Division.

The 18th received 3 battle honors and were involved in 38 battles and combats.

On November 18th 1812 they lost their Eagle at Krasne.

These figures are mainly Old Glory with the command by Blue Moon.

I've decided to take some pictures from the gamer's perspective. The back of the
