A teraz coś nieco innego

Apparently that is a translation into Polish of "and now for something a bit different..." or so the translation app says.

I needed a change from things Franco-Prussian so I have switched to some Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw infantry.

There is a bit of back story here. A couple of months ago a friend was cleaning out and had two Perry Duchy of Warsaw infantry command sprues. I took them simply for something different to paint - maybe for a little diorama group to sit on the bookshelf in the study. Then when I was placing my last Perry order I was short of the value needed for free postage. I figured that if I bought two boxes and combined them with the command sprues, I could get four battalions...so I did and now I have on hand enough figures for four 24-figure battalions, plus four two-figure skirmish stands. There is no plan to expand this force - it's only intended as a brigade to supplement the French which are now seriously outnumbered by the coalition forces.

So here is the first battalion of two that will be the 13th Regiment which, according to the Perry painting guide, is the only unit from the Duchy to wear white. They also differ in that the grenadier seemed not to have worn the bearskin and the voltigeurs didn't wear a plume. A white unit also creates some variance from Duchy forces owned by another in the group. 

About two-thirds of the way through the unit I began to wish that I had gone with another regiment with the blue uniform, that I think I like better, but I had gone too far down the road.

Now it's back to the Franco-Prussians.
