He visited Waterloo after Germany surrendered and eh took some shots of his friends wearing helmets from the museum. I'm no Napoleonic era expert.

On th...Another great 'Iron Mitten' cartoon! On the regiment size for French heavy cav (including Dragoons if you like) saw roughly 600 per regiment in 4 squadrons in 1805 - so @ 50 per figure a unit of 12. In 1807 this was raised to 5 squadrons - each being of two companies of 100 (on paper anyway) - so another 4 figures. It should be pointed out that they rarely obtained this size and usually fielded four squadrons. The dragoons had it even worse. Nominally also 4 squadrons of two companies each with 64 mounted and the Etat Major with about 14 including the sappers & regt cmd - a total of 526 mounted. Of course in 1805 there were 36 dismounted per company (horse shortages) that were formed into Foot Dragoon units. These were done away with by 1809 but there would be very few (if any) Dragoon regiments that would have had a strength of 800 even on paper. So 12 figures per unit is about right (@ 1 figure = 50 men). The establishments for dragoons and chasseurs were the same (except for the possible addition of a 5th squadron) for the heavies. The sources for this are Emir Bukhari in the Osprey books. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> Doc<br /><br />http://docsartofwar.blogspot.com/Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.com
