Denziens Napoleonics
What I have already....French
I have a sizable French collection fir skirmish games already put together with a couple of perry plastic boxes. Trouble is remembering what each unit is meant to be. The French army is a confusing collection of different units. I had to look at my old paint jobs and try and figure out who they all are and if they are covered in the SandB rules.
My only cavalry unit the Hussars
One artillery piece 
I think these are carabiner with tall red plumes. A sort of grenadier light infantry 
These look like chasseurs a sort of rapid light infantry unit
Look like imperial guard to me
The guard also have their own versions of the chasseur and carabiner units just to confuse me even more. These are the Guard Voltigeurs
I think the plumes denote imperial guard carabiner 
I have three units of standard fusilier infantry but to confuse things I painted a unit in red as allied Swiss.
Voltigeurs
Grenadiers. I have all the infantry covered apart from national guard militia units but it's the cavalry I need. They are just as confusing as the infantry with some of the same classifications. Because units are in squads of 12 or 8 and as low as 4 you can cover a lot of options with just a couple of plastic kits. It's worth going for the skirmish look as rank and file marching doesn't look right to me in a small scale game.
