Showcase: Pavlov Grenadiers

 

Heyhey, today I'd like to show you some Napoleonic Russians. Surely one of the most popular Russian formations with wargamers are the Pavlov Grenadiers.

Their trademark being the old-style grenadier mitres with metal front plates. Even beyond the introduction of shakos, these grenadiers were allowed to keep wearing their mitre caps to pay homage to their excellent performance at Friedland in 1807.

The figures are from the exellent reinforcement packs by Front Rank.

An impressive sight on the battlefield. Add to this the proper big orange-and-white flags, and you got a real looker on the gaming table. 

Hope you like them!
