While wife and daughters were away, I got out the Napoleonic soldiers I lovingly created all those years ago during university vacations. I had a crazy idea of refighting battles using a scale of one figure to just ten men. Well, at least it meant the French could form a three-deep line.
The figures are 20mm scale, mainly the classic Hinton Hunt castings which were a pain to clean of 'flash', but exceptionally highly detailed.
Hi Ian

Always liked the Hinton Hunts, yours are very nice indeed.
Unbelivable, You're really a wonderful collector... Are they fighting against my former fellows? Some years ago, John Marshall wrote this sentance in his ""return " in Normandy--(year 1994) An Argyll plate was presented to the Mayor- Thelocal people weremost impressed and noted The Battle Honour for ODON on the plate-- I don't think they realised that many of the others honours were for battles fought against the French!!! etc etc!!!!
