The Loose Association of Wargamers

This army contains some of my oldest figures but with my recent clearing out & re-basing, I substantially re-organised & then added to the force. The final figures have just been completed.



The army has 14 battalions of infantry, 4 cavalry regiments & 4 batteries of artillery + sundry command & other figures. An all-arms force useful for stand alone games.


Two brigades of Old Guard, including the 'oldest of the old' 1st Grenadiers & first Chasseurs.


A fot artillery battery in front of a brigade of Middle Guard.



Marshall Mortier, the commander, watched over by Napoleon himself.


The Young Guard (aks 'cannon fodder')


A brigade of Guard cavalry Dragoons & Grenadiers


Napoleon loved artillery - Horse artillery


More cavalry- a brigade of Lancers & chasseurs

I aim to use these figures soon in a series of 1813-1814 games

Vive l'empereur!!

absolutely splendid !!!

Super army!

Fantastic Napoleonic eye candy.


Willz.

Excellent stuff! However, I tend to find that there is rarely a 'final' unit of Guard... And then there are all the hangers-on: Gardes d'Honneur, Eclaireurs, Polish, Saxon, Westphalian and Italian Guards, Neapolitan Guard Horse Artillery, Berg Horse Artillery, Berg Lancers, Velites of Florence and Turin... There's always room for one more

Nope. I'm done.
I have two line corps of Nap. French (12 & 13 infantry batts etc) if I want a bigger game but this size of Imperial Guard, alone, will provide an afternoon's enjoyable gaming.

Awesome.

I think I may have mentioned that I really want a 1/72 plastic army.

(has anyone got any Dark Alliance or Caesar Goblins or Orcs they don't want.........Peeler)?

I don't know which is more impressive, Donald - the collecting/converting/painting, or the fact that you've found someone who is actually prepared to play against a "Guard army" on the tabletop!

(And yes, I did notice you were focussed on the 1813-14 campaigns when the Guard was pretty much all Boney had.)

well done great for 1814
