Eric’s excellent Napoleonic imagination project got me thinking about what my Duchy of Volare Cantare might have been up to in the early eighteen hundreds or even their friends on Adriatic coast..

So this weekend some things came together-

I bought this general off eBay yonks ago. He has been waiting for a project for ages. A Napoleonic imagination for the Portable Wargame and Neil Thomas sounds just the thing.

I scurried around the place and found some figures lying about looking for a project too. So they were given new uniforms and are almost battle ready.

I enjoyed taking the above Osprey off the shelves too and having a wee read for inspiration and uniform ideas.

Opposition will be in the form of my British and Hanoverians from my Very Regency Civil War Project.

Some further recruits required…
