Napoleonic's: British Light Infantry

I completed some more British Napoleonic's this week with the British Light infantry being added to the force. With the way the Perry box is made up I only had enough of the flank company arms to make up eight of these but with the twelve Riflemen that should give plenty of British skirmishers.

As with the Grenadiers I've given them the yellow facings of the 28th North Glos Regiment and the green plumes of the light company. 

The rules allow you to field the light infantry in one of two ways, either as the flank company of a line regiment or as the men of a specialist light infantry regiment.

Using them as a flank company gives you the option of fielding in units up to 12 (well it would if I had enough models) and a better Defence stat for when they get into melee. The specialist light regiment option means you can gain the sharpshooters trait which allows you to re-roll some missed shots whilst coming in units of 4 - 8. It's worth noting that the flank company version activate on a Line Infantry card whilst the specialists activate on a Light Infantry card.

With these completed I've now started on the Spanish Guerrillas to ally into the British force, these are from the Perry metal range and sport a variety of clothes which should make from a nice change from the British uniforms.
