Napoleonic Infantry in Campaign Dress 1806-15

5 examples all denoted as "March Attack." I still maintain "March Attack" has the musket with the trigger guard foremost and "action" - i.e. hammer & pan - against the body. The march attack shown I remember as "Short secure arms" (British Army). The "action" is covered and secure from wind and rain. "Long secure arms" has the weapon's action under your armpit fore and aft. "Other days, other ways." These figures are a selection from the following packs:

FN250 Fusiliers of Voltiguer in campaign dress, march attack, 1812-15.

FN251 Infantry in campaign dress, greatcoat, march attack, 1806-15.

FN252 Fusiliers in campaign dress, march attack, 1806-13. The sample fusilier has a pack cast separately. His bayonet is on his right side almost horizontal to the belt that holds it up. The shakos are either in weatherproof cover or not and all have pompoms of some description, assorted headgear.

FN253 Fusiliers or voltiguers in campaign dress, assorted headgear, march attack 1812-15. The example of this has a forage cap with the earflaps down. No pack. An excellent group of figures to help make up the mass of your French P.B.I.
