HaT Forum
A forum to discuss HaT products, ETS, uniformology, modeling, painting, and other essentials associated with HaT products.
1. French. Definitively. It's the main army of the period, just like WWII Germans, you simply can't do without them. Whether mid-empire or late, it's ok, just finish at least ONE of the two. My preference is mid-empire (fur caps, lots of cords, plumes etc), but I understand many wouyld love the late stuff, which is accurate for Leipzig or the 100 Days.
2. Keep the Austrians separate. The reason, below, under #3.
3. Those who collect 1812+ Russians, combine them with the late Prussians (already released by HaT). During the 1813 Spring campaign, the Austrians were not involved, it was clearly a russo-prussian affair. And while the Austrians did participate in the autumn fighting, one can do without. After all, the pro-Austrian collectors love the 1809 campaign.
So:
1. French
2. Russian Infantry-Prussian Landwehr
3. Austrians with helmet and/or shakos, to cover the whole 1809-1815 period (and why not the 1821 and the even latter tappering shako to cover the period up to 1848???)
