Portuguese really. These are WIP 1st and 3rd Cacadores for the light brigade. The C&C Napoleonics scenario calls for 6 blocks (stands) of Portuguese in 2 units. I have done 8 stands in keeping with the goal to also have a valid Lasalle army.
The 1st with their blue cuffs:
The third (black cuffs):
A quick shot to stay motivated! These are the Cacadores, 43rd and 52nd lights (sans flags), and the 95th rifles. 1st KGL hussars and 4 RHA are on the painting table along with a few command figures.
The current state of the project:
Since the French collection is primarily 1815 uniform, I might do the grenadier stands as old guard in bearskins. The uniform differences do not bother me too much, it is more the spectacle of the game with massed units traversing the Spanish or Portuguese countryside.
