pictures of dutch cavalry and infanterie

It is a pity that not all infantry units of the period are available but this was all I could find. O course the cavalry is dismounted. The plate are some years before the FR period so the names are sometimes different in the 1792-1795 period but the uniforms are the same.

Dutch cavalry of the FR

Some prints of the Dutch cavalry in the FR.
The plates were made by C.R. Coopman

Victorious figures -additions

We always like addition to ranges, be it figures or equipment.
We noticed some equipmens additions at Victorious Miniatures as limbers, various cart horses, British water cart, and ammo wagon

 

Trent additions

Trent has some new additions to their "Internal range" which incorporates Chouans and Vendean figures  with more characters, musket armed figures and casualties. Of course it is possible that I missed them on an earlier occasion.

Also some Tyrolean figures are in their Austrian range but as Andreas Hofer is represented this would mean the 1809 campaign instead of the FR period. Probably you could use them for the late FR period, 1799 comes to mind.

Which reminds me that I have some hundred unpainted 15mm Old Glory Tyroleans on the unpainted tin mountain.

And for some who need British generals for their FR period armies, Trent also has:

general Dundas

general John Moore

Abercromby

the Old Duke of York

Take a look at the Trent figures; there nice.

Plates by Langendijk: Crossing of the Waal 1795

Two plates, a little bit unclear, about the retreat across the Waal of the British/Hanovarian army. They used the existing ship-bridge of Nijmegen so they did not need to build a pontonbridge.
During the retreat, afaik, the bridge was destroyed before all troops could cross.

And of course, the French also crossed the Waal but as is was so cold, they could use the ice on the rivers to cross. In this situation a Dutch waterline was of no use.
In former times the ice would be broken by troops but the Dutch army was so demoralised that they only thought of retreating. 

French revolutionary armies-Emperor Toad's

Although Emperor Toads'Emporium already longer exists, they have had a kickstarter for a new serie of figures about the French Revolution in 28mm.
Promised is, that these will be available in the Summer of 2018.
Various poses of French infantry, be it in the Kasket (as existing "white" infantry or old Royal army) or in bicorne (as "blue" infantry). Also grenadiers will be available.

The figures are sculpted by Michael Percy and look very good.
We hope the range will grow quickly (and Dutch for the 1792-1795 campaigns will become available).
Some pictures are underneath:

PS: due to a bad experience with another kickstarter we haven't  participated but of course we will buy as soon as they will be available for sale.

Victorious Miniatures 28mm FR figures

When loooking for British figures for the French Revolution era, a new manufacturer brought out figures for the British army for the 1793-1795, 1799-1800 and of course the colonial batttles of the FR era.
Infantry is available in bicorn and round hat, centre and flank compannies. Also highlanders and artillerie are available as are twe generals. No cavalry as yet.
These are looking very nice. Some pictures underneath.

French infantry standard 1793

In the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam they have a French Standard of 1793. Unknown is the unit as the number position is not filled in., So if this is a genuine flag I don't know. But he's pretty.

The flag is 2.16m * 1.80 meter.

Dutch Army of 1794 (2)

For the campaign of 1794 a field army was organised in which only a part of the total armystrenth was available. This was partly because of the losses in earlier campaigns but also because the Dutch army needed numerous garrisons for the cities of the Netherlands.
The line infantry was composed of battalions of 6 companies (out of 12 companies of each regiment) plus converged grenadiers of the various regiments (2 grenadiercompanies of 3 regiments formed a grenadier battalion).
The line field battalions had a strength of 504 men (guard battalions), 510 men (Swiss) or 432 men (other battlions. The grenadier battalions had a strength of 384 men.
Mind you, this was the official strength at the start of the 1794 campaign and quickly these numbers became less through losses, sickness and desertion.
The field battalions were as follows:

Dutch Army of 1794 (1)

The Dutch army in the 1794 campaign is described in the book by FHA Sabron: "De oorlog van 1794-1795 op het grondgebied van de Republiek der Vereenigde Nederlanden" (2 volumes).
Together with information from some other Dutch books, the following information can be given.

The total infantry (line and light) of the Dutch States in 1794 were as underneath.
The first column gives the identification of the regiment which was on various items of equipment as wagons etc.
The 3rd column gives the name of the province which paid for the regiment or it was paid by the States General (Staten).
The fouth column gives the nationality as: nothing mentioned: Dutch, D = Duits (German), ZW=Zwitsers (Swiss), W=Waals (Wallon), I=Immigranten (French immigrants).
Each regiment had 14 companies in 2 battalions or per battalion a company of grenadiers and 6 of musketeers.
An exception was the Swiss Guard which had 8 big companies in one battalion although in the field they probably use a 2 battalions formation, each of 4 companies
