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.

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.
