Lace 'n Big Hats

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.

28mm Napoleonic French Imperial Guard Grenadiers and Chasseurs (Victrix miniatures)

These Victrix figures paint up nicely. They kits are cheap compared to metals. I wonder how many wargamers have been able to realise their dream armies because the plastics companies produced these lovely miniatures?

These are the Chasseurs and Grenadiers of the French Imperial Guard. There are four battalions; two of each; one firing and one marching.
