Were you there in 2005? I was the fat Colonel on the white horse commanding the infantry of the Prussian Brigade then. ;-)

Ohhh, now there's an image that's going to linger ^I^.

But seriously, folks, I don't mind the two advancing poses. I put the leveled muskets in the front line and the angled ones behind, so they don't foul each other. It looks nice, which is after all important, or we'd just be using colored wooden blocks!

I am to be seen at 6:13 in the clip, leading the Prussian Brigade to the battlefield.

Hi Gerd,

With the missing Ready-to-fire pose I wonder whether High Porte poses would look more reasonable as if the unit is on the move, Porte Low figures in tightly packed formation would be of risk of bayoneting their comrades in front of them.

PS Were you at the 2015 Waterloo Reenactment? the Prussians marched right past me on to the battlefield I would almost certainly would have seen you and perhaps have a photo of you.

The second rank charged their bayonets between the men in the front rank. Tird rank stayed at the trail. No "High Port".
