Third Battalion, 77e Régiment d'Infanterie

The second battalion in my FPW French army is actually the Third Battalion, 77e Régiment d'Infanterie. I have decided that the third battalion in each regiment will be in the firing line poses (although my view on this may change as the project progresses and entire regiments may be in firing poses, as I have done with the Prussians), but for now this is Commandant Lemonfagner's Third Battalion, 77e Régiment d'Infanterie. 





It is identified as the third battalion by white and red fanion carried by the senior NCO.





Work on the First Battalion is underway, but is it's completion will face a little interruption, due to some social engagements.

    They really do look they are heavily engaged. Firing lines can sometimes look a little unconvincing, but these guys look like they mean business.

      Then beauty of it is that each firing sprue has five bodies and eight sets of arms, plus some of the arms from the other set will fit, so there plenty of variety to be had.

    Nice work again Mark, having some units in a firing pose adds some interest and variety, for sure!

      It's a bit of a necessity with these sets as 10 figures in each advancing box are in the firing poses. Some of these will be made into skirmishing stands.

      Thanks Steve. I think with a bit of scalpel work and the addition of a few bits from other plastic sets it will be possible to create even greater variety.
