Here are four battalions of Elite miniatures Russian line infantry, grenadiers and Jaegers. They are in the "advancing" pose. I expected them to be advancing with their muskets at the slope, so I only bought a few, thinking they would be a pain to base. But it turns out they are as easy to base as those in the march attack pose.
Now we come to the Perry plastic Prussian line infantry. I have already painted one unit, which is in the archive for this blog. The sets come with 40 line figures and 6 volunteer jaegers. So you have enough to make up units for the popular "big battalion" rules.
Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

Nice stuff, although the Elite figs are quite old now I do think that they look great painted up in big units.
