French 129th Line Regiment








 These figures are from Piano Wargame Miniatures printed at 18mm. The church and the gabion set are Time Cast.

This unit is painted to represent the 129th Infantry Regiment. They matched into Russia as part of Ney's 3rd Army Corps. 10th Division under Brig Bruny.

The 129th was badly mald at Smolensk and left there. They didn't fight at Borodino. But heavily engaged defending the bridges at Berezina.

French 33rd Light Infantry







 The 33rd Light Regiment was in the 4th Division of Davout's First Army Corps.

" This Regiment of Dutch origin did not have the same discipline as a Dovout style Regiment. So on the 10th of July, the Marechal had them file past, barrel downwards." F.-G. Hourtoulle
He left them at Smolensk.

French 7th Light Infantry Regiment







Brig Gerard's 7th Light Infantry Regiment were in the 3rd Division of Marshal Davout's First Army Corps.

These miniatures are 3D printed from Lucus' Piano Wargame Miniatures. I reduced them to 60%. Which got them to the 18mm height. 

They are painted with Speed Paint and other Contrast style paints. Plus highlights with acrylic paint.

Russian Rylsk Regiment



The Rylsk Regiment was in the 1st Brigade of the 23rd Division of the Fourth Corps under Lt General Ostermann-Tolstoi. The Fourth Corps was part of the First West Army under General Barclay De Tolly. 

At Borodino the 23rd Division under General Bakhmetiev started to the North East of the town of Borodino.

These figures are 3d printed in 18mm. The files are from Wargames Atlantic digital. There are 3 different heads to choose from. So for this unit I went with the soft cap.

Duchy of Warsaw 16th Regiment












 These miniatures represent the 16th Regiment of the Duchy of Warsaw. The 16th was part of Poniatowski's 5th Corps in the invasion of Russia 1812. They were in Mielzinski's Brigade in the 16th Division under Zayonchek.

I lost track of which company made these 18mm miniatures but I think they are Old Glory. I added 3 miniatures I printed to the command stand. They are from the new Kickstarter coming out by Polkowski miniatures. They supposed to be 28mm but I reduced them to 56%. I think 55% might have been perfect.
