Initially I didn't like the hawk-nosed figures but, having been enticed to buy a trio of boxes that were on sale I fell in love with them. They form the core of my early French Army and get pressed into service for all battles right back to 1793. I came to like the style so well that I bought an immense number of the matching Prussians and am building the Prusso-Saxon army for Jena. (Should that be Saxo-Prussian?)
