Completed Armee du Nord infantry brigade

 At last a completed (well, one battalion gun is missing) infantry brigade of the Armee du Nord 1793-1795 consisting of two demi brigades each of one line and two volunteer battalions, a small combined grenadier battalion and an artillery battery (8 pdr).





Most of the figures are Eureka, with a sprinkling of some other firms. 
Each battalion will be of 6 bases of which one is a battalion gun (the regulars are missing one base of infantry and the battalion guns should imho be manned by white coated artillerymen from the battalion itself). Also one volunteer battalion misses its battalion gun. All missing parts are being in the painting que. 
The artillery battery consists of two guns, a dismounted artillery officer, a limber and ammunition caisson. It needs some room when depolyed.

Excellent looking figures!

They look magnificent! It's always great when people go to the trouble of painting limbers/caissons too.
Regards, James

Ray and James, thanks.
We always try to portray the limbers and if possible also caissons etc. We think that it gives a much better picture of an army but of course, for some, it is just ballast and it costs money. Everyone it's own I think.
