I bought the NAPOLEON IN EUROPE board game many years but have never played it! Never even snipped the plastic figures off the sprues. My idea was to paint the figures, but never got around to it. Besides I have no one to play against! The figures for each nation are generic, i.e. elites are all bearskin grenadiers, even for Britain. I was going to replace the figures with historically accurate 1/72 plastic. Again, never got around to it. Well, that is not the subject of your video, but I thought you might find that bit of trivia interesting. Love the Britain diorama of the Gates of Hougoumont !! Keep up the good work!
That diorama is gonna keep growing if you're not careful!😆 they do look really really nice though! I hope those decals show up soon if not already. .. be safe ,thanks for sharing
Hi Bob, looks you are enjoying 54mm you might want to look at expeditionary force there plastic Napoleonics can be painted up and a good fit for Wbritans....as i have done some myself.
@@robertgagne2388 no problem at all, if i get a chance i will do a quick video in the next few days and add to my little channel...will show some next to Wbritains.
Are the Expeditionary Force figures of the same scale as the Britains Napoleonic figures? I used some plastic Alamo Spanish figures and painted them as French they have Shako headgear like these metal Britains French. They are 60mm so a good match and I think they are Barzo? I find the plastic Airfix, Call to Arms and CTS Napoleonic figures too small at 54mm to blend in with Britains metal 60mm sizes.
One figure I would suggest is a Frenchman with an axe . I've seen a painting of the French outside the gates of Hougomont hacking at with axes. But the cameo looks good. Will you weather the barn after the fire or prior too?
Great Napoleonics! The Hougoumont diorama has a true-to-life epic feel.
Super
Nice unboxing video.Some very nice Britains figures but the shure do break easy.🐻🤗👍
The defending the gates scene is looking really great! Those Napoleonic figures are superb.
If I can find them, I have a couple of figures you can have to go with that Hougemont set. Great video, I have quite a few of those deetail figures.
Love those larger Napoleonics for your hugemont. Those britains take me back! The ACW officer’s pistol arms always broke off.

Hi Adam the decals arrived several days ago and look to your mail. :) You should have a package in the mail.
@@robertgagne2388 oh awesome! I was worried because I have some family in Laconia Notch and the mail has been an issue since Christmas 😆

I also want to build a firing platform. Good idea to use the wooden sticks
