Sorting out my Napoleonic collection

Before I acquired Stuart Asquith's collection of pre-painted Del Prado 25/28mm Napoleonic figures and a batch of figures that Tim Gow managed to buy for me at TRIPLES, I had almost completed the task of varnishing and basing my existing collection. (The unfinished part of my collection included figures I bought via eBay that had been sold as part of Del Prado's RELIVE AUSTERLITZ series of part-works.)

My existing collection is organised into units of six Infantry figures or four Rifle-armed Infantry figures or four Cavalry figures or two Gunner figures plus a cannon or single Mounted officers/Officers on foot.

Dutch-Belgian Army

• 2 x Cavalry units
• 3 x Infantry units
• 1 x Mounted officer
• 2 x Officers on foot

Brunswick Army

• 3 x Infantry units

Hanoverian Army

• 4 x Infantry units
• 3 x Officers on foot

Prussian Army

• 3 x Cavalry units
• 13 x Infantry units
• 5 x Artillery units
• 4 x Mounted officers
• 3 x Officers on foot

British Army

• 4 x Cavalry units
• 10 x Infantry units
• 2 x Rifle-armed Infantry units
• 5 x Artillery units
• 5 x Mounted officers
• 4 x Officers on foot

French Army

• 10 x Cavalry units
• 21 x Infantry units
• 12 x Artillery units
• 6 x Mounted officers
• 15 x Officers on foot

Over the past few days I have been organising my new acquisitions into units and as a result I should be able to add the following to those shown above once I have varnished and based them.

This is actually going to be result in a major expansion of my collection of Napoleonic figures (by over 100%!). There are a few gaps that I may try to fill in time, but even so I will have a collection that will stand me in good stead for some time to come.

Once the task of varnishing and basing the entire collection is completed, I really will have to turn my mind to fighting a campaign (or several) with them.
