First up are 24 Campaign Game Miniatures French Dragoon’s. Very nice figures, pushing on a meaty 18mm size. Also annoyingly I should have tried them on my bases Before painting as they are a little wide. This could have been solved by just pushing the end of their legs in a bit. But once painted I didn’t want to do this and I have now had to stagger them.
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).

Russian Opolcheniye
I bought this unit about 30 years ago. I actually mixed the guys with the caps with the guys with big felt hats. This led to a real rabble look. So I have repainted just the chaps in caps. I made the flag myself.
