My final unit for the Napoleonics is a
single group of Westphalian Infantry. These will be the 2nd battalion
Régiment de Westphalic, created in 1806 for German soldiers whose
regiments no longer existed after Napoleon’s conquest.
The Commander of this unit is Leutnant Bodo von Wießmehr (hated brother of our heroic and mercuiral Rifles Captain) and recruits have been drawn from his native Cleves as well as Münster and Minden.
These worthies are the remains of my French sprues, and will double nicely as Spaniards.
It is a ten figure unit so will initially be unenthusiastic Militia. I`ve left myself room to add another two eight man units to these by using the drummer and standard bearer to make them up to ten here. I`ll probably do that because I like these guys.
Then again, with Bodo for an Officer there is probably good reason to be unenthusiastic.
