1st Battalion of the 2nd West Prussian Infantry Regiment - finished unit
After finishing the second battalion of this regiment I could manage to paint the first one. As I described it in my previous post: the Prussian line infantry regiments after 1808 had three battalions, two of them were line infantry and the third one was a fusilier (light infantry) battalion. The fusiliers will be completed later for my 2nd West Prussians, I have bought the figures already.

Italian Allied Light Cavalry - finished unit
The lack of cavalry was a constant problem for my Republican Roman army during the games. Last year I managed to paint some Roman Equites medium cavalry, but according to the army list it is compulsory to have light cavalry too. So the light cavalry was always installed by an another player. But this time I could paint my very own light cavalry contingent.
