The Retreat from Moscow project is coming along nicely. Here we have an 8 figure detachment from the 4th Wurttemberg regiment, that was part of Ney's Third Army, 25th Division, under Brigadier von Hugel.
There are a few companies that make some superb Wurttemberg figures, but alas none of them are in the much needed greatcoats!!
Some some drastic action was required!!!
I bough a few packs of Wargames Foundry French in greatcoats and in true French fashion began chopping off heads!! Replacing them with heads from the old Connoisseur range, now sold by Bicorne Miniatures.
I didn't want to use all the Foundry figures otherwise they would all look the same, so I included 3 plastic Perry figures and one Perry metal figure. I also added a scarf in the 4th facing colours to the only marching figure.
So onto the points...
Pretty simple this one, 8 x 25mm figures at 5 points each
40 points
And if I'm lucky Teemu might give me a few extra points for the conversion work???
Teemu did, he gave me an extra 2 points taking my total to 42pts, putting me in 23rd place at the time of posting on a total of 170 points, (I'm now in 29th as of today)

Excellent work, Ray! “Chopping off heads” in French fashion made me laugh. Good one!
