French Imperial Guard

I have started a project to re-fight the Napoleonic Wars of 1805-1809 in Eastern Europe. 

I have found some good information on the forum for creating the Saxons and other German allies for the period and am looking for some help in confirming what codes to use to re-create the French Imperial Guard.

Old Guard - NFR04

Young Guard NFR02

Chassuer a cheval - NFR12

Empress Dragoons - NFR05

Limbers for the Guard Artillery codes NFR33T, and NFR34S

Thank you for your assistance

Mike

Hi Mike,

NFR19 - Grenadiers a Cheval

Young Guard may be a bit more difficult: NFR02 is perfect for the Middle Guard (fusilier-grenadier and fusilier-chasseur), but they have epaulettes, wihich the Young Gurad don't have. But maybe simply not painting them will do the job.

Ah, the First Empire... Imperial Guard... those were the days (meaning when I was obsessed with Napoleonics)... getting better now thank you... I recommend the book on the subject in fact three volumes by HEIMDAL editions... French and English versions Available... not surprisingly a search in amazon will do the trick... Jouineau  and Mongin are the authors... really a very useful guide... even in 6 mm. Have fun. adb@andorra.ad

Hi, How did you add the necessary plumes to the NFR05 Dragoons to make the Empress Dragoons?
