Before I lock the barracks gates on my Napoleonic Danish collection they have been ordered to take part in a parade to celebrate the completed project. The only way I could add to it would mean buying more miniatures, and that is unlikely to happen (but never say never….?).
I never planned to buy any Danes. However, once the seed had been planted (partly by my friend John the Red) to devise a campaign based on the planned invasion of Sweden by a French, Spanish, Danish and Dutch corps in 1808 that was it!
Anyway, here they all are.
 |
| A couple of ADCs |
 |
| The CinC von Essen |
 |
| Three batteries of artillery. One battery are not really cannon at all being 1pdr amusettes, but needs must. |
 |
| Line cavalry in greatcoats (Steve Barber) |
 |
Two battalions of light infantry.
|
 |
| The infantry en masse. |
 |
| More cavalry including the guard hussars and their attached squadron of Bosnaiks. |
In total there are four cavalry regiments, 10 infantry battalions (including one guard and two Lanvern), two light battalions and three batteries of cannon. Oh, and some ski troops.
Rather colourful and impressive but they don’t have a wonderful record on the tabletop so far. Maybe now the whole lot are finished….?
Lovely collection. Well done. Been long tempted to indulge in a corps of them . So far manfully resisted but?
ReplyDeleteReally colourful and well painted. Now I want to do this campaign. Of course I now want Smoked Salmon too...
ReplyDeleteNot a bad thing surely? Colin
DeleteA nice and out of the mainstream collection!
ReplyDeleteLovely collection, not something you see very often if at all! :)
ReplyDeleteCracking parade and a lovely collection and something that little bit different, lovely to see them all.
ReplyDeleteWent to Koge years ago on holiday and it gave me an enduring interest in this army…

Lovely parade- don't worry if they don't perform well- they will look good doing it!
