Capitaine Bijleveld's battery of Dutch-Belgian horse artillery was one of the first units of the Anglo-allied army in action at the Battle of Quatre-Bras on the 16th June 1815 when they supported the Nassauers driving off the French cavalry advancing on Frasnes. Two days later they were again in action at the Battle of Waterloo in support of van Bylandts brigade.
The figures are from the Perry Miniatures range and are very nice sculpts but do take a little cleaning up.
Some shots of the individual pieces:

Twelve 28mm foot figures, three guns and the History location bonus should add another 110pts to my total.

Fabulous work on these Dutch-Belgian artillery bases, Paul! Beautiful, clean brushwork on their uniforms and the guns themselves. Very nice and an excellent entry for the Historical topic. Well done!
