Historical Reenactment / Re: Let's discuss: Reenacting!

Ooooh what series is this?
I never saw them, but they are great. Are you sure they are period though? I see something that looks like 1836 on the 2nd one. Ofc. the 1836 army is very similiar to the NW army, and if the guy lived during the NW wars, it can still be quite accurate. Especially if they are based on sketches. The very square backpacks also seem like postwar backpacks to me, the Bardin backpack (as far as I know) never made it into service during the NW period. But that could just be the way they are packed...

That second drawing clearly shows the camp kettle again, Duuring. Also looks like same size and everything as ours. First drawing also has them on the center right. You can also see the low support arms pose in the back of the 2nd one. And the first drawing clearly shows something that looks like blankets.... First time I have seen blankets on non Cav guys. But for this one Abrams drawing.


Also some of the guys seem to be using (what looks to me) sticks to keep the rolls upright when carrying the backpack.


It's a "best of" done by the printer Duchesne around 1840. I was very lucky to find it in a shithole flea market... for almost nothing. There is like an hundred of prints from 1800 to 1840. The one of the camp is dated from 1836 indeed, which is pretty close from the time, we can easily imagine the author did witness it from his own eyes. Some prints are showing the revolutionary army but most of them are post-Bardin : 1813 campaign and Waterloo. However, it's indeed the NW army and not the 1836 one, we can see the 1810 eagles on the shakos. But a lot of them have a bonnet de police and not a pokalem.

It could be interesting to test in the reality to do a similar construction for the huts, we can see sticks across the hut in order to suspend their gibernes...

More (only the ones on my laptop)

That's a lot of moustaches in that second pic

Yes, they are grenadiers (or voltiguers, but definetly some kind of elite), so a moustache is pretty much a must have.

Seems both. Some have a horn on their retroussis, some a grenade. Even if some voltigeurs had a mix grenade/horn retroussis...

Oui le 4e Connard est une légende sur ce jeu.

Le colonel Chabert est une fiction de Balzac hein :p

Ce n'était pas 12 000 cuirassiers, il n'y en avait même pas autant dans la Grande Armée. La grande majorité des cavaliers étaient des dragons ! (divisions Grouchy, Beaumont et Sahuc, soit 15 régiments) contre seulement 3 régiments de cuirassiers (1er, 5e et 10e) et quelques escadrons des grenadiers à cheval de la Garde.

Merci Enix pour le boulot sur nos petits pronostics de pécores !

Draeker déjà bien joué d'avoir trouvé la provenance de la citation sur Google et je sais que tu n'as pas compris l'ironie face aux trolls anglais qui disent "africa won". Mais c'est l'intention qui compte, on t'en veut pas ;)
