These are the two artillery sets that come with the „Brigade Deal,“ along with 6 boxes of plastic infantry and three mounted commanders.

I really enjoy painting Russian Napoleonic foot uniforms, as the green-red color combination looks good, and they lack some of the more intricate uniform details of the French and British; different color lapels, lacing and piping (although the artillery and jaegers do have a little bit of the latter on cuffs and collars).

The green for the jackets could be darker, I suppose, but I’ve used about a 50:50 mix of Vallejo Model Color Deep Green and Vallejo Game Color Dark Green – mainly because I have them on hand. Plus, the Minwax staining seems to darken it a bit. I also gave the folds some highlights of lighter greens. At least they should be easily identified on the gaming table.

To flesh out the Russian force, I recently placed another order from the Perrys; two 12 pounders, two unicorns, some skirmishing Jaeger and the command set with a sitting Kutuzov.

I’ll start on the three mounted commanders next, as long as work issues don’t flare up. Still teleworking, thankfully – hopefully I can milk this set up for a few more years until retirement. That all said, wishing you all good health and happy hobby pursuits!
