There are six battalions in columns with one in line at the back.
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 Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry (Elite miniatures)
Nice Polish figures from Elite miniatures. I'm playing Borodino in January. These lads were at work in the south around Utitsa.

10mm Colonial army for Sudan wars
They don't like it up 'em! (the cold steel, that is). Here is a nice force for the war in the Sudan. The metal is from Pendraken miniatures.
British regiment in red tunics
The Bengal Lancers
Indian Regiment
Egyptian Regiment (winter dress)
I am reminded of a Dad's Army" episode "Two and a half feathers" with a scene in the Sudan

28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry (Old Glory miniatures)
28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry. The mounted officers are from Front Rank but the rest are from Old Glory miniatures - who do just about everything.
I love the OG figures for their animation.You can see some of them gritting their teeth in a battle cry.

28mm Napoleonic Westphalian Cheveauleger (Elite miniatures)
I painted up two units of these line Cheveauleger and I have two units of Guard in the pipeline. They actually had a single squadron of lancers each, but I painted two squadrons of lancers for a better "look."

28mm Napoleonic French Imperial Guard Chasseurs a Pied, some British Hussars, and Vistula Legion infantry
Bumper episode. These are all from Elite miniatures.
I had the Chasseurs sitting around for years because there was no commander for them. Had to get him from the UK last trip.
Vistula legion. Very fine figures from Elite. Not many people seem to be aware of the extent of the range.
These are to make up my British Hussars to 24s from 16s, which are too weak.
