This is the last unit from the most-recent Perry order of Napoleonic reinforcements.  A unit of British Light Dragoons in the earlier uniform. The orange facings could represent the 14th (Duchess of York’s Own) or 20th Regiments. Both served extensively in the Peninsula.

The Perry set comes with several headgear options, including the later shako which was worn at Waterloo, but I chose the more distinctively-British Tarelton helmet.

Currently, all of the cavalry for my Napoleonics are in 8-figure units. The smaller size should allow for more maneuvering on smaller tables. Although at next Saturdays game, I plan to only use 4 figures per unit, as the tables are only 5×6′ and I am allowing up to 6 players!

There are no immediate plans for additional units, except for maybe a couple of French Horse Artillery – just to balance out the two RHA units the British have already. I plan on hosting a few Black Powder games at next year’s Enfilade!, which has larger tables – 12×6′.

Actually, a French Lancer unit (or two) may be added down the road – either Polish, Dutch or even Berg in their flashy green and pink uniform.

But those other units will have to wait, as I now need to settle on the scenario for next week’s game – I’ll likely use one of the ones the Black Powder Peninsular supplement.

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the very best!
