It's amazing what you can do in two days, stuck at home. I've finished culling, re-organising & (horrors!) re-basing my last French corps. That gives me 2 line, 1 Guard & a Confederation Corps for Napoleon.
Each corps has infantry, cavalry & artillery integral to it. I can use a single corps for a small game, two for a larger & all 4 for a Show game.
2ème Corps - under Marshall Ney
The French Napoleonics are my oldest figures, in general. Some painted 40 years ago. Not the best painting but I have a great affection for them.

Fantastic post Donald, I really want to do Napoleonics in 20mm but I am going to finish off my hundreds of SYW figures first.

There's no stopping you, Donald.
A splendid sight.

A splendid sight! But even more impressive to my mind is owning figures painted so long ago.

Great stuff but as a lover of Napoleonic figures its nice to see them in any scale but I do wonder if they might be either a bit too short or too tall depending on whether I have my 15mm or 28mm glasses on
:o
Well done

Nope. Goldilocks (- just right).
I am looking forward to Naps being a focus for the next few years. I'm thinking for the typical "garage game" we continue to use 'General d'Armee' but for bigger games, give SHAKO a go. I'm impressed by the relatively quick & simple yet satisfying games we've been having using a SHAKO-variant for the SYW.

What's really enjoyable about the French Donald I think with a long term project is the ability to add a division of Poles, Bavarians etc. As far as opponents, Pwussians are the quickest to paint but I do like a wrusssian Napoleonic army. I'd also add a caveat that tehre should be a gaming law that any Hostrian opponents must be fielded in helmets not shakos
