Haitian Revolution/St Domingue Revolt - French 28th Foot.

 


I had to paint up another unit of troops for my Croix-du-Bouquets game the other weekend. There we're 2 regular infantry regiments that fought at the battle, the 9th formally Normandie and the 48th formally Artois.


For this game each regiment had 2 companies of 8 figures and some command.


All the figures are from Trent Miniatures


While the flag is from Flags of War. The Battle was in 1792 so I had to go with the 1792 pattern, which you don't see much, Richard is using the 1794 pattern for his figures.


I painted up an extra Commander as well, well his was undercoated, so I thought why not, he'll come in handy?? 

Wont he???

  13. They look really special Ray. That is an unusual flag. I thought they were Bavarians or similar.
