French Fusiliers 88e Demi Brigade in Egypt - Perry Miniatures.

A new month and this month the theme is Egypt (again.)
If all goes to plan then I should clear a number of the older figures languishing in the spares box and a couple of unfinished units before the kick of the Bronze Age Infamy Infamy project.

First up French Fusiliers of the 88e Demi Brigade in Kleber Ordnance.
With regular supply channels restricted by the English Navy the French were forced to adapt their uniforms to the new environment.


The original skirmish units were hijacked and recruited for the Haiti Project, so these chaps have been drafted in to support the line regiment.


Figures from Perry's Egyptian range.

    1. Managed to find a several units which definitely need to make it to the paint table. They need to be completed before the launch of the new project.

    1. My original French were in a pale blue, so the red certainly gives a contrast for the skirmishers.

  5. These are very nice Stu - I have always liked the earlier Republican/Napoleonic uniforms - they have a dash of style about them!

      Agreed the earlier period certainly has that dash of style.

  7. Good stuff Stu!
    Nice to see French infantry in something other than blue tunics!
    Looking forward to see them in action.
