More Light Infantry



Introducing the Chasseurs de la Moutarde, light infantry in the Batrachian Army. This unit comes from the Moutarde* region of Batrachia. They are commanded by Captain Jean "Renard" Dijon. (He's a professional)

Correction: I have been informed by reliable sources, the famed scholar Steve Kriegspieler, that the Captain's surname is actually Dijon. Renard is some sort of Batrachian nickname.

* aka Mustardy.

..shouldn't that be Captain Jean Dijon??? :o))

I was going to suggest Capt. Louis Poupon . . . but I like Steve's suggestion of Dijon better.

I love it, Steve! Mind if I use your suggestion?

I already used Poupon for the Moutarde cavalry. (Not sure that came out right! lol)

A spicy unit indeed!

Fitz, it would be a pleasure.. :o)

PS. Do not forget his second cousin, the english mercenary, Major Frederick Colman..... :o))

If Poupon, wouldn't the uniforms have to be grey?

Mike, the Poupon cavalry do ride greys... (the initial depiction showed them on horses of various shades of brown, but they have since been remounted on greys; as another noted scholar, the famous Jeff "Blaubar" Hudelson", pointed out as their proper mounts - I repainted the horses, so now they're horses of another color! lol).

Just started to follow your blog. Enjoy the battle narratives - more please (if you get the time).
I'll be calling in here again.

Steve.

Thanks, guys! I suppose they might relish the chance to mix it up with some Frankfurters? lol

Steve, I hope to get more battles going this year. Next time I'll take photos of the action, too.
