Further information about many of these regiments is available from wiki though. Some, like the South Essex Regiment from 'Sharpe' are pretty well documnted; others, less so.<br /><br />I'm rather fond of the Royal Corps of Halberdiers myself, it was watching the TV movie of 'Sword of Honour' recently that persuaded me to look again at the fictional regiments. <br /><br />I plan on building some Halberdiers, for my VSF gaming - like Conrad's version of the theme, my Halberdiers will have occasional halberds; my idea was that Colour Sergeants rather than the Ensigns would carry them, all the better to protect the company colours. But I haven't sourced the minis yet.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />OrcRed Orchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015582577046093985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239749035254670719.post-52993268170314950852010-12-21T19:49:46.501+00:002010-12-21T19:49:46.501+00:00Any idea about the uniforms, or at least the disti...Any idea about the uniforms, or at least the distinguishing features, of at least some of these units?<br />Conrad of 'Joy and Forgetfulness' built the '<a href="http://joyandforgetfulness.blogspot.com/2008/02/halberdiers.html" rel="nofollow">46nd Regiment of Foot (The Royal Corps Of Halberdiers, West Essex Regiment)</a>' (aka the 'King's Royal Halberdiers') for Napoleonic wargames; he gave the regimental history but not any source of inspiration.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Jean-Louisabdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.com
