TOPIC: FPW Chasseurs |
Standard User Posts: 27 oppi 18th Feb 2016 01:07:42 Since im trying to model my army according to this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War_order_of_battle (1 Base = 1 Regiment), i was wondering what Roles the Chasseur Infantry had. Wikipedia says, that the Voltigeurs where the Skirmishers and Chasseurs were basically Sharpshooters who didnt skirmish too much. How can you represent this in the Rules ? Maybe making them Elite or Experienced with SK1, the Line Inf trained / raw sk 0 and the Voltigeurs Trained sk2.
Also, did the single Line Infantry Regiments had some distinct features to their uniforms, like the prussians have (facing color, buttons, ribbons etc)? I couldnt find any Information on that Thank you ! |

To follow up Mollinary's remarks on the French greatcoat, I have found using Vallejo Prussian Blue (NOT Dark Prussian Blue) mixed about 80:20 with Vallejo Grey Blue gives a good distinction from the darker blue of the tunic. I've also found the tunic looks good in this scale (on troops like dragoon cavalry and chasseur infantry) if painted with Vallejo Oxford Blue. A little goes a long way |

Blue tunic but blue grey trousers with yellow stripe. A little goes a long way |
