Der Kriegspieler cavalry came in packs of 8. Set 87 was listed as Cossacks - assorted. I only have six figures, two each of three types. I don't know if the eight in the set were a mixture of these three types, or if maybe these six figures came with a further two in another pose.

Der Kriegspieler 96 Austrian Jaeger command figures





Der Kriegspieler set 96 contained 20 pieces, of Austrian Fusilier, Grenadier and Jager figures. These are the Jager figures. The first two, officers with sword and with pistol, look to be conversions with Tyrolean hats. The hornist is very similar (possibly identical) to the Hinton Hunt one here.

I've finally painted up these figures which were featured in a previous post. One of the infantrymen has decidedly weak ankles and is lot long for this world. The officer is a David Clayton casting - Hungarian Musketeer officer. The uniform is taken for Knotel though there are some differences to the DK figure. I had no reference for the officer's uniform so it is a bit of a guess. The jackets look very much like Portuguese Cacadore ones to me.

Napoleonic Units: Garrison French Light Cavalry




I've had these figures for a long time and finally have got round to painting them, as a break from working through all my unpainted S Range Napoleonic cavalry. These are the old Garrison figures, here painted as the Baden Hussars and the 10e Chasseurs a Cheval.

They are really nice figures and I'm pleased to have finally done them.
