Hello Paul, Joining a group like this, you'll get a lot of opinions. Well, here's my two cents. Purists tend to want EVERYTHING completely accurate. I am...
I’d pick a period you like (1809-1812 for me too) and paint the forces you are likely to use. I recently played Waterloo, I used Spanish for DB and ...
Paul- I wargame with Russians 1812-14; let me know if you have any uniform or painting questions. I think everyone has given sound advice. The only thing I...
Paul When I built my figs for NB I did it based on corps organization so I did not have to purchase a ton of figures. Also, doing things by corps allowed me...
For Doug who also has 1806 Prussians, have a look at the Saxons from Eureka, go superbly with the AB Prussians, some are modified AB! Also I believe that is...

That is probably the best way to start your figure collection if you are just moving into the period with NB, then you expand as needed. There are a number of...
Paul, BH are good, early Tony Barton (AB Figures) just true 15mm as his later AB stuff is more 18mm, old age and poor eyesight! You might consider BH for your...
Paul- If you plan on gaming Russians, pick up the Osprey Men at Arms series on them- it has a lot of uniform info for their various phases during the Nap wars....
You could always play using 28mm…. now there is a grand scale ... As far as sources go. I have just about every book on everything so if you get stuck email...
I got it on ebay for $10.50. It's all there and in great shape, counters unpunched. I think that's a great deal. My girlfriend is excited too. I figure we can...
I watched a program about Waterloo on the Military Channel today. In it a lot of the French soldiers' backpacks were made of what looked like cowhide. They...
Indeed they were and were thought to be a lot better than the British equivalent so there was a lot of "borrowing" that went on whenever French backpacks were...
Once hooked you'll never be able to leave NB alone. As for a girlfriend that is not only into NB but has a thing about cowhide backpacks probably least said...
The difference is that the British ones were made of painted canvas and the French of calfskin… might seem obvious but painted canvas is crap and would not...
