The light infantry in my army are all from the Hat and Zvevda ranges.  The uniform is from 1809 up to 1812.  These are some of Hat’s best miniatures in my opinion, I recommend them to anyone building a French Napoleonic army in 172 scale.

In DBN, light infantry units can operate as close infantry or in open formation.  Therefore I based them in two ways.  The first was to base them as fusiliers, as seen below.

The second lot were based with only 6 figures per base instead of 8.  This shows the light infantry dispersing and operating in an open formation.  The bases also have a slightly longer depth as well (but the same frontage).

I also have units of voltiguers in skirmish formation.  The first type with 3 figures per base is used in DBN (note the longer depth of the base). The second group I painted up for other brigade level games I play that require voltiguers to operate and detach from their formations. They also have 3 figures per base, but can also work with 2 figures per base.

That is all for my light troops, now it is time to add some colour with the allies.  That, though, is for the next post.
