Exploring Officers & British Light Dragoons (dismounted)

I've been waiting impatiently for my Northstar order of FIW French to arrive (no knock on Northstar... just restless to keep the FIW project going) and so delved into the box o' shame and found some items collected at Fall In! 2019 from Brigade Games. For a while I've been wanting to put together some Moveable Deployment Points for our Sharp Practice Spanish Peninsula games. Brigade Games' exploring officers seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

For the British I decided to combine two irregularly uniformed officers on one stand. These should serve admirably for my British force.


And for the French, Pierre Ducos, intelligence officer. This figure is clearly an homage to the character in the Sharpe series.


While at the Brigade Games stand, I also picked up a pack of dismounted British light dragoons. These are lovely figures and a pleasure to paint. How much use they'll be in our games (or how often they'll be used) is a matter for conjecture. But that's never stopped me from adding such a unit to a collection.
