Lasalle – The Plan

Posted by jfairley | Posted in Lasalle, Miniatures, Painting, Projects | Posted on 13-02-2010

My Lasalle army  is loosely based upon the 1st Division 2nd Brigade of Wellington’s Peninsular Army of 1812, supported by the 2nd Division .  Specifically elements present at the Battle of Salamanca.  Loosely based because I ordered my figures ( 15mm AB from Fighting 15s) and have had to find as close a historical match as possible.

An Infantry Company of Peninsular British supported by  Reserve Brigade of Dragoons, commanded by Maj. General Henry Campbell.

No set timeable, but starting off with 2 infanty brigades:

1st Division, 2nd Brigade, commanded by Maj. General Wheatley

36 figures – 2/24th Regiment of Foot
36 figures – 2/58th Regiment of Foot

to be continued with:

1st Division, 2nd Brigade

54 figures – 1/42nd Highland Regiment of Foot

1st Division, 3rd Brigade

36 figures – 1st Line Battalion King’s German Legion
36 figures – 2nd Line Battalion King’s German Legion

12 figures – Royal Artillery Battery

supported on attack by the:

3rd Division, 2nd Brigade, commanded by Lt. Colonel Ellis

36 figures – 1/5th Regiment of Foot
36 figures – 2/5th Regiment of Foot

supported in reserve by:

1st Dragoon Brigade, commanded by Maj. General Le Marchant

18 figures – 3rd Dragoons
18 figures – 5th Dragoon Guards

12 figures – Royal Horse Artillery

It’s a lot of painting to be assured but I’m already really enjoying it. Pictures to follow in process and as completed.
