Thinking of using French Chasseurs a cheval but the French horse furniture use sheep skins, where as the Saxon light Cavalry used cloth like the British Light Dragoons. Should I use French Chasseurs a cheval figures paint them as Saxon light cavalry and paint the Shabraque "sheep skin" red - who would notice? :o)<br /><br />Any chance you contact by email at my blog "contact email"<br /><br />regards,<br />PhilPhil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-38656808471910945912014-09-21T07:03:09.163-04:002014-09-21T07:03:09.163-04:00THanks, Mike, and... great to see you back.

The Saxons were heavily engaged at Dennewitz, IIRC, and were major combatants at Gorodetschna (q.v.), although they also suffered one embarrasing defeat at the hands of the Russians in 1812.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-43926304343317716142014-09-21T06:59:44.932-04:002014-09-21T06:59:44.932-04:00Thanks, Phil!Thanks, Phil!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-64666335543684662262014-09-21T06:59:12.117-04:002014-09-21T06:59:12.117-04:00Thanks, Laurence.
