That is quite a spectacular array of troops - well done! I'm in the midst of doing a Crimean War era Russian army for something different!

Thanks Peter, yes I agree re the flags!

Looking great, Mark. I think the flags of this era...

Looking great, Mark. I think the flags of this era are the best thing about painting Russian infantry!
I of course went with the Divisional position shoulder strap colors, Grenadiers and Tiralleur platoons. I did find that I needed to color code the painting of the bases edges of the units to make it easier to sort out the darned shoulder strap colors by unit, so I certainly won't take you to task for a simpler approach! :-)

Thanks James!

That's quite a mass of Jagers, and of course they MUST wear the green breeches! Newer sources suggest the Russian Jagers were probably better at Light Infantry tactics, at least by 1807, than they are usually credited, although not the equal of the French.
The earlier Russian uniforms are so much more interesting than the later era when everybody looks the same! :-)

Thanks! :)

Fast and handsome work! I always painted Russian jaegers in green breeches too to distinguish from line.
