Piano Wargames French Infantry in Greatcoats 1804 - 1814

 My first hard plastic box!

In cooperation with Wargames Atlantic I am very proud to present the very first Piano Wargames 28mm hard plastic set: French Infantry in Greatcoats 1804 - 1814. I am incredibly excited about this partnership!

With this set you can build an entire battalion of French Napoleonic infantry, including 4 skirmishers and command (28 figures in total). From Line Infantry to Light Infantry or the Young Guard, you can assemble these figures in a great variety of ways.

In addition to shakos, you also have the option to equip all figures with bicornes.

You can also build your battalion in "march attack", "high porte" or "shoulder arms". Have a look at my website for more images.

You can now pre-order this box! It should be shipped in 3-4 weeks, and if you buy 3 boxes or more directly from my shop, you will get a free mounted officer in white metal.

The cover art of this box was painted by the amazing Marco Capparoni

 Had this for Christmas one year. A Napoleonic strategy game. My parents used to get good presents - they prided themselves on getting appropriate gifts. Pics from Ebay.

The Brilliance of Waterloo (1970)

 ''In this deep dive, I explore the brilliance of Sergei Bondarchuk’s Waterloo — from its epic scale and historical accuracy to the powerhouse performances of Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer. Discover the behind-the-scenes madness, the filmmaking ingenuity, and why this remains one of the greatest war films ever made.'''
