A new French Unit.

You can tell that I am still on winter leave by the output of my painting and posts. Its probably just as well as my man bronchitis is a bugger to get over. Anyway I was lucky enough to pick up some pre painted French SYW figures from E Bay a couple of weeks ago. They weren't the cheapest, but I was attracted by the actual figures. After repainting them, they look very French, ie doing sod all and just standing about. I'm not certain of the manufacturer, they were advertised as Hinchliffe, but I'm more inclined to say they are early Dixon, but I could be wrong. Still they are a nice unit. 


 I had to pad the unit out with a couple of other figures, invariably a RSM mounted officer and an early Mini fig! drummer.So really the unit is a veteran even before it routs off my table.
