Napoléon Bonaparte  ruled France from 1799 to 1804 as First Consul, and from 1804 to 1814 as Emperor of the French, as well as a 3-month period in 1815, called the Hundred Days.

  7. Very nice work! I really like the larger staff vignette. 15mm is so great for this (especially with AB stuff). The equivalent 'scene' in 28mm would take a good portion of a game table.

  8. @Paulalba, Man Cave & Rosbif - cheers chaps!
    @Curt - Yep! also cost you an arm and a leg and take a damn longer time to paint! 15mm is the king!

    In pic #6, neither the dragoon nor the Mameluke will tell the Emperor he left the cap on his telescope!
