My Napoleonic collection: The British Army

The British Army is the second largest in my collection, and at present numbers 220 figures.


As can be seen, it is a predominately infantry force, with cavalry figures forming slightly less than 11% and artillery figures being 10% of the total.

  1. Like yours, by Napoleonic British are light on cavalry. This was deliberate, as I believe that, especially in the Peninsula, Wellington's armies always has a shortage of horse. So I've made it policy. All the same, I sometimes wonder whether just 28 horse is a tad TOO light for an army of maybe 250 figures... Sometimes.

    On the other hand, my French army has a very powerful cavalry arm! My Imperial Guard alone has more cavalry than my entire British army!

    1. Archduke Piccolo,

      I hope to acquire some more British cavalry in the future ... as well as some more French and Prussian cavalry.

      All the best,

      Bob
