French Parade 18th Century
My French commander flanked by the Guard Frances
40 Regiments of Metropolitan (native French) Infantry
4 Regiments of German infantry. De Sax once said that every German in French uniform is worth three men, 1 serving ion our ranks, 1 French man freed for productive work as a civilian and 1 man taken from the ranks of our enemies.
The Swiss are an important component in any French Army.
On the Left 4 Irish Regiments and on the right two Scottish Regiment both contingents had a great fighting reputation but were important for political symbolism as well. The Irish wear red because they are loyal to the true Stewart monarch of Great Britain.
This is a marvelous looking collection! Do you have a regular opponent against whom you throw these Gallic hordes? Are your officers and artillery done? Jerry
Yes I do have Offices and Artillery. Opponents no regulars World War II (which I like) and Napoleonic wars (which I am less excited about) are the preferred flavors here in Norther Massachusetts. I live in hope. I Have the armies for them to fight just just need an English or German commander for them.
