From RichardM - Peninsula Swiss Napoleonics and more Portuguese (202 points)

This will be the second last post with Portuguese Infantry and to spice it up a bit I have included some Swiss Napoleonics.  As with all of the other posts, these are all Adler Miniatures 6mm Napoleonics.

I'll do the Swiss first.  There are four Swiss Regiments that I will eventually paint (12 battalions).  These will also be used for the other campaigns where the Swiss supported Napoleon - notably in Russia at Polotsk.  

I have painted the 4th Swiss Regiment this week, elements of which fought at Rolica and Bailen in the Peninsular.  I will follow with the 2nd and 3rd Regiments in subsequent weeks - I don't believe the 1st Regiment were in the Peninsular.  

Next up are the prodigal 11th and 12th Cacadores who went missing when called on for the first weeks basing and photos.  That brings me to a total of 10 battalions of Cacadores which are all I am doing.

Then we have the 1st, 6th, 13th and 23rd Portuguese Line Regiments - each of two battalions.  I think this leaves me three regiments still to paint, which I hope to get finished next week.  

And lastly there is the final Portuguese cavalry regiment - the 1st Regiment with their white facings.  These cavalry have been pretty boring to paint - being blue and a facing colour - and from what I have read they should perform poorly on the tabletop.

Next week should be the last of the Portuguese Line and the beginnings of the German troops that fought for Napoleon in the Peninsular.

Points:

Swiss

- 3 battalions of 36 figures @ 0.5 points per figure = 56 points

- Regimental commander with 2 mounted figures @ 1 point per figure - 2 points

Cacadores - 2 battalions of 24 figures each @ 0.5 points per figure = 24 points

Line battalions - 8 battalions of 24 figures each @ 0.5 points per figures = 96 points

Cavalry regiment of 24 mounted figures @ 1 point per figure = 24 points

Total = 202 points

From Millsy:

Another monumental effort to paint wee men Richard! By my count that's 352 infantry just this week.

I'm not sure what I find more impressive, your ability to grind away without losing focus or the consistently high quality of the effort whilst doing so. I wasn't aware there WAS as many as battalions of Cacadores, never mind committing to painting them all.

Very much looking forward to the KGL. Some of my favourite troops on the allied side.

Great work again mate. 202 points for you tally.

Cheers,
Millsy
