New Quatre Bras Project - Nuovo progetto Quatre Bras

The Duke of Wellington and the first group of miniatures
for the Quatre Bras project.
I'm doing the Anglo-allied army of the Duke of Wellington who fought the battle of Quatre Bras, June 16, 1815, a prelude to the more famous Battle of Waterloo.
The idea is to recreate (with the 28 mm) the most representative units of the Anglo-allied and French armies with the help of friends Federico (French) and Daniel (British).
The project aims to re fight Quatre Bras at 1:100 or 1:125 scale (1 figure = 100-125 real men).
My collection for now, includes the units in the list below.

Sto realizzando l’esercito anglo-alleato del Duca di Wellington che ha combattuto la battaglia di Quatre Bras, il 16 giugno 1815, preludio alla ben più famosa battaglia di Waterloo.
L’idea è quella di ricreare in 28 mm le unità più rappresentative dell’armata anglo-alleata e quella francese in collaborazione con gli amici Federico (francesi) e Daniele (britannici).
Il progetto prevede di ricombattere Quatre Bras in scala 1:100 o 1:125 circa (1 figura = 100-125 uomini reali).
La mia collezione, per ora, comprende le unità dell’elenco sottostante.
The first British regiments.

    1. Con le miniature ci siamo quasi, ma ci son altri due grossi problemi da affrontare: trasporto dei soldatini e regolamento da usare!
      Grazie Luca
