French Limber and Austrian Protestations

I decided to complete a French limber to give me the complete set – one limber for each nation. Once again, all the castings used are vintage Hinton Hunt ones including the limber itself.

1 x FN/36 Driver, Line Artillery Drivers Corps

1 x H3 French Gun Horse (near side horse)

1 x H4 French Gun Horse (off-side horse)

1 x AL/3 Limber

I didn’t have the HH painting instructions for the artillery driver, so this is a bit of a cobbled together uniform, but he looks pretty enough.

For some reason the Austrians seem to be annoyed that Napoleon captured Mack’s entire army at Ulm. The French were actually just trying to send engineers to help with the flood defences on the Danube when the bewildered Mack thought himself under attack and rode off at haste on a donkey.

Next stop for the Grande Armée – Vienna, we'd like to see the Opera House!

This is just the starting point of our campaign, turn one is now in progress.
