French forces for Sharp Practice event Britcon 2018

And they are done; my French force are ready for "A Damned Serious Business" at Britcon 2018.

The French force in all it's glorious...erm...glory, Ready to die for the Emperor
and make others die for their iniquitous kings and governments!! Vive l'Empereur!!

The leaders (l to r) Sgt Charles Boyer (I), Capitaine Jacques Rafimmier-Cuisses (II) both of the 144th Dragoons, Surgeon Doctor Henri Pied D'Athlete (Physic), Drummer Keef Lune (musician) Lieutenant Hubbert Camembert (II), Capitaine Etienne Coq-Sportif (III)of the 30th Legere, Sgt Achille Colon of the 30th, Sous-Lieutenant Emile Anhour of the Votiguers and Sgt Hercule Le Brock of the Pioneers

The guts of the force; the Fusiliers. These are the men Coq-Sportif knows best, having served with them for the last 10 years in Italy, Bavaria, Austria and Prussia amongst others. To him they are the best soldiers in the French Army bar none!!

The young and somewhat slow Sous-Lieutenant Emile Anhour, commands the Voltiguers. Coq-Sportif has put Sous-Lieutenant Anhour in command as these men are all veterans and know their role well and therefore do not need someone to hold their hand. Emile is there to learn...if he survives.

Capitaine Jacqus Raffimier-Cuisses (Belle Blondie to his men, though behind his back not to his face) and his Dragoon detachment upon their mounts. Another long service officer, Jacques also served as a trooper of the dragoon in the Royalist Army before the Revolution 

The Dragoons practice their skirmishing

Coq-Sportif's artillery detachment from the 9th Light Battery.
Lieutenant Pierre Mercier (II) watches  as the gunners go through their drills  

The sapper's detachment led by Sgt Le Brock. After seeing much hard service they are less than uniformly dressed and have lost a few of their pioneering tools. 

Suitably grim Deployment Point with a couple of memento
mori markers for scattering around the battle field 

And that's them for the moment. Just got to get some breastworks for the sappers and give one or two of them a wee touch up with some paint.

Buildings next, promise
pip pip, mes braves
