The drivers are also Blue Moon with their shakos cut down to a cap shape. I painted them in a grey uniform that I spied on some website. No idea if it’s correct but I liked the thought of the Supply Wagon having drivers in a grey uniform and cap for transporting the barrels around. I added some red facings because the grey was a bit grey grey. Also the traces are a bit weirdly placed for the front row of horses but at least they are connected. I think the paint job was a bit rushed on the drivers when zoomed in, but looks okay on the table. At least now there are no excuses for the Russians going thirsty.
When I painted my first Napoleonic's 25mm was 25mm and 15mm, well that was always liable to scale creep. I mean 15mm is pretty small. So maybe in this mixed up world 1815 didn't mark the end and perhaps we can imagine another 3 years of campaigning (okay another 3 years of needless suffering for the people of Europe, but hey, these are 15mm metal figures, they can take it).

Napoleonic Russian Supply Wagon
A Blue Moon Napoleonic supply wagon. No idea what’s in the barrels (vodka, Vimto or pickled herring who knows?).
