Maximum Voltage

The Voltigeurs swarm out of the woods...

I've been conducting manoeuvres with the Combined Voltigeurs using Ian S's experimental basing system.

...and  then recombine in close order to defend the hedgerow.

Ian's system allows the battalion to be deployed either in open order, representing the skirmish element of a brigade, or in close order as an ordinary line infantry unit.

As a line unit they're certainly a bit unconventional, but not disastrously so. It's also rather nice to have a battalion that's doing something other than charging.

The figures are:

Hinton Hunt FN 3 x 3
Hinton Hunt FN 1 x 1
DK 12 x 19
DK 13 x 1

A formidable firing line

.
The DKs and Hinton Hunts have blended together so well that it's difficult to tell them apart.

Next up: a second squadron of Polish lancers!
