Some additions to the French Army

The latest addition to the French line is The Piemont Regiment. The black cuffs and  white crossed flag contrast nicely with the white uniform. I have now ran out of French castings so this regiment will be strengthened in due course when more troops arrive.

I have also been converting and painting some command figures to support the units.

      Thanks Graham, they were involved in quite a number of the western theatre actions I want to fight, so pleased with the addition

      Thanks Donnie, looking forward to painting some red jackets for a change, although I have really enjoyed the variety of the French project
