Trying to keep the momentum going with my napoleonic stuff. The first battalion of the Petrovsk regiment is soon to be finished at 20 figures. This regiment served in many of the battles in Finland, and would really have been a good place to start the whole project. They wear a uniform which is similar to what a couple of years later became the standard uniform for all Russian regiments. In addition, they are very similar to a few other important regiments, namely the Lithuanian, the Bielosersk and the Tenginsk regts. These were all very much active in Finland and they all belonged to the same inspection, i e, carried the same red and-black colored flags. The only difference was in the shoulder straps (these were dark green, light green, red and rose). To me it seems reasonable to play these as interchangeable with one another, so that the Petrovsk may represent the Tenginsk or Lithuanian if needed for a particular scenario. Hopefully, I will be able to paint up the 3rd (musketeer) battalion of the Petrovsk and both battalions of the Bielosersk as well in the near future.
