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.
