I have a Yorkshire terrier, he is useless for birding. I do hunt pheasant, but usually only find partridge. They are just as tasty.
it seems that the person on the wrong end of 5arge always seems to get the punishment.

Hey, boys. Hope all is well! i have a surprise for you. Get ready to CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!

PIEROGI TIME
I just remembered a question I had a while ago, do Russian sailors have any kind of melee weapons? I ask because in the picture you posted the guy only has a pistol. And an awesome hat.

I believe they carried sabres of some description. That being the case, I'll probably give them the standard infantry Degen. Maybe some cutlasses.

Anyway, I've been putting this off for a long time because I didn't want to half-ass it but I finally got around to making the Chevau-Legers Polonaise de la Garde Imperiale, the regiment better known as the Polish Lancers. Bearing in mind they weren't issued lances until December 1809.

Originally created in 1807 by Napoleon to serve as an elite bodyguard recruited from the Polish nobility and landowning classes, they were unquestionably the most famous cavalry regiment of the era and frequently cited as one of the greatest of all time, the Polish Chevau-Legers proved their incredible aptitude for combat time after time at several of the period's major battles.

Their most famous exploit was probably at the 30 November, 1808 battle of Somosierra Pass, where the Spanish had set up a desperate last attempt to halt the French march on Madrid. A single squardon of the Polish Chevau-Legers charged the Spanish army, artillery and all, head on and captured all four of their batteries. Though half the squadron was killed or wounded in the charge, they carved a permanent name for themselves in the annals of history.

In the 1809 war against Austria, they saw action at several of the major battles of the Austrian front, including Aspern-Essling and Wagram. The most noteworthy battles of the war.

They wore one of my absolute favourite uniforms from the era, so I put more than the usual time into making these (the czapka alone took about 8 hours or so)

Ingame

Shouldn't be much work to make the officer from this. I need only decide if I want to make the indigo uniform or the white one. Might work on the trousers, too. They're just palette-swapped Polish general's trousers and are thus a bit old.
