The Russians Are "Still" Coming .....

Update on my progress of getting a 3mm Pico Russian force into the field.  Several components on the painting table this week in various stages of work.

The bulk of the Russian cavalry is ready to go, both heavies and lights. 
A little flock and these will all be ready for action.

I decided to add three regiments of Cossacks to help round out the Cavalry force.  I'm doing one as Ukrainian, one Don, and one mixed group.   Should look good and help to flesh out some scenarios.  I also primed 2 regiments of Jaegers which I need to complete the Division.

Tying to sort out a few command stands.  I decided I needed to paint a few more mounted aides to make the right quantity.  Some of my mounted commanders went to infantry stands and I came up a little short.

I still need to paint all of the infantry flags.  Saved them for last.  I'm going to use the 29th Division at Borodino as the model for these.

The Russians Are Coming .....

3mm Pico Russian force is on the painting table headed for basing.  This group will soon help out the Austrians in the 1809 Campaign and open up more scenarios for the French in the later years.

I'll post some pics when these are based.  I also just primed three regiments of Cossacks to add to the force.
