Last Levy 44-45

 Last Levy 1944-1945

Completed some Volkssturm for my 1944-45 collection, Simons Soldiers figures which are very suitable. A entry for the Last Gasp on the Wargamers Forum. I need some more photos when I get back from Oz

  Red Tail Down 

An old 1/72 Frog P51 mustang has been sacrificed to have a crashed aircraft. Quite happy with it, perfect for a jumping off marker or objective or just table decoration.

6th Chevau-Leger Lancier regiment

 6th Chevau-Leger Lancier regiment 

Completed the First Sqaudron, 28mm warlord games Chevau leger lancers. 

The regiments elite figures had added plumes from the Victrix Bavarians added, epaulettes from the warlord frame. The elite company had red pantaloons, red epaulettes and fringes, red helmet comb and white plumes. The unit also had buff facings and belts. The lance pennant is unusual as it is reversed white over red, rather than red over white like the other French chevau-leger lancer regiments. I have been unable to drill down to find out an explanation yet for this. 

I plan to add the eagle and standard in a grand parade for Napoleons with band  in April, when I complete the third regiment of Lancers. I am quite happy with my results. In April I plan to focus on additional units for my 1813 campaign army and hopefully kick off the resin printer for some additional Piano wargames figures.

 6th Chevau-Leger Lancer 1st Sqaudron 

When Warlord recently had their Black Friday sale back a few months ago I could not resist and I purchased a 4 boxes of Lancers plus a few sprues from the sprue sale. I have organised these for General de Brigade/d’Armee and In the Grand Manner. I settled on three six figure Sqaudrons so per regiment. The 6th chevau-leger lancers uniform is quite striking, red pantaloons, and buff belts and gloves. I need to add an eagle and standard when flags are presented on Napoleons birthday.

Next squadron completed for the lancer regiment, I have elected to mount them on bays although by 1813 I suspect horses were in short supply. Next up the command Sqaudron
