Was wondering what experts would use for Russians in bicorns 1799 and such? I was going to go Prussian SYW but not sure if something else would be better ? Thanks all.

SYW Prussians work well, but to be honest, you can press any figures with bicornes into service with a suitable paint job.  Both French and Spanish in bicorne could be alternatives.


I have plans.   I am dangerous when I have plans...
