Intro to Napoleonics Pt. 2: French flank companies & the versatility of the Victrix Middle Guard Kit

In part 2 of the series I have a look at how to identify your flank company miniatures from the centre company fusiliers, paint the extra details and discuss why the Victrix Middle Guard box might just be the most versatile plastic kit out there for Napoleonics.

You can refer to part 1 of the guide (   • Intro to Napoleonics Part 1: Simple g...  ) for instructions on painting the minis, but swap out the grey paints for the browns listed below. I've also suggested some colours for the flank company epaulettes etc.
