Do you know If this the Gottsten rendition of these figures or the Bretegnier version? Their site is unclear.   I am after the second and already have the Gottstein which are a bit smaller and not as nicely engraved.


Thanks

Beautifully painted of one of my favorite sets.


I thought I had a line on acquiring this last year but, communications with Terrana family fell through.  Hopefully some day....

Don't worry Mark, I don't think it has changed nowadays when I see the tanks and trucks in wars like Ukraine and Gazah, the landscape is also devastated.  Humans were and remain the most destructive living animals to the nature. :-[

Jean Paul it looks like you are well on the way with this set, I look forward to the product.

I find this time period through the Napoleonic Wars quite fascinating.  Soldiers in completely inappropriate and often poorly made clothing in some of the most in-hospitable parts of the world making war.  One also wonders of what an army of 20,000 or 30,000 individuals and thousands of horses did to the landscape - it truly boggles the mind. 

I have been reading some soldiers memoirs of the Peninsular War of late and one can add diet to that as well. It is amazing we have survived as a species....
