Piedmontese Unit 1 Complete

My Wars of Italian Unification wargames project is now underway as the first unit is ready for a table top battle

The first milestone is complete. I have a unit of Piedmontese for the period around 1850. Probably the first figures in this era I have painted (well since the year DOT Airfix ACW figures that started me off wargaming).

ok so these Union ACW Strelets Firing Figures are from the wrong continent but hey there were only these kepis in the depot and their regulation tunics had to be swopped for something a bit longer! Oh and they left all their packs behind when they went chasing some Austrians…………
On a pedestal nothing is too good for Strelets despite the frankly accurate reviews in Plastic Soldier Review. The thing is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In PIQUET 1700-1900 Field of Battle rules, 2×2 equals Attack Column
The Firing Line from PIQUET 1700-1900 Field of Battle rules
I like a few figures with my scenic crumble (courtesy of woodland scenics – no I am not a shareholder)

Next up on the painting board are some Austrians looking quite serious and on the other hand Bersaglieri – complete with capercaillie feathers.
