A Foray into Napoleonic Wargaming
39eme Regiment de Ligne
I’ve been slowly painting up some more French line infantry over the last couple of months, specifically the 1st and 2nd battalions of the 39eme Line Regiment.
The 39eme formed part of the French Army of Portugal, first under Massena, and then Marmont. They participated in quite a few of the major battles between 1810-13, including Cuidad-Rodrigo, Coa River, Almeida, Busaco and Torres -Vedras, Fuentes-d’Onoro, Almaraz, Nivelle and Bayonne. They were redeployed to Germany in 1813 to fight against the sixth coalition.
Models are again all by Xan, with flags by GMB flags.
