Hi Richard
I really appreciate your reply but you misunderstood my original post if you thought it was in any way vitriolic. I was just making a point that the uniforms of a French Peninsular War infantryman was totally different to that of a Republican French infantrymen and especially that of the French Army of Egypt. More than just buttons. I’ve been enjoying this wonderful hobby for over 50 years and I’ve often used figures that weren’t quite ‘right’ to refight many a historic battle. Even now when we are blessed with so much stuff to chose from I still on occasion fudge things such as not using 100 per cent accurate figures, but I know I’m doing it and it’s for my enjoyment and that of my gaming mates only.
Warlord produce some wonderful figures and what you could do is make a box of Revoltionary Wars ragged French infantry on day maybe 😁
I may well take you up on the suggestion I write an article.
