This post concludes the Anglo-Allied army led by Wellington in the 100 days campaign. When I was making it in 28mm it was the smallest of the three but in 20mm is much more easily done as the variety of troops - British, Scottish, KGL, Dutch, Belgians, Nassauers and Brunswickers - allows for lots of conversions that in the smaller size work reasonably. The commander stands of the first corps and of the Dutch divisions were made previously.
For this post was used the metal Wellington´s command by Waterloo1815, given to me by TC, and Italeri, Airfix, Waterloo1815 and Hat figures.
Wellington´s command stand has (L to R), de Lancey, Uxbridge, the man himself and Picton. The figure of Ponsonby was placed in a individual stand as brigade commander and the Scottish officer in the box was not used.
The tree is meant to be the famous Waterloo Helm, a good place at the Waterloo battlefield for observation were Wellingtons spent some of time on the 18th of June. The tree was destroyed by tourists after the battle and some parts were taken to England from were at least one chair was made and sits nowadays at the Windsor castle:
Even so I prefer the tree.
Lt- Gen Lord Hill, commander of the II Corps, was made from the Italeri figure of Wellington with added plume according to the MSJ website. The ADC is Lord Hill younger brother, Clement.
Now for the infantry divisional commanders (L to R): Cooke (1st Guards Division); Clinton (2nd Division); Alten (3rd Division); Colville (4th Division); Picton (again, this time as Co of the 5th Division) and Lambert ( 6th Division, in replacement of Lt Gen Cole who was fighting another far more interesting battle as he was at his honeymoon). The Airfix officers got Hat bicornes, Cooke has no plume according to a famous portrait and the others had its plume burned for it to look closer to a General´s. I made no distinction between the Lieutenant and Major General as the differences in uniforms are extra gold in the former, something that at this scale I could not see properly - another advantage of 20mm :).
The Cavalry Brigade commanders: Lord Somerset (Household Brigade); Ponsonby (Union Brigade); Dornberg (3rd Brigade); Vandeleur (4th Brigade), Vivian (6th Brigade) and Arentchild (7th Brigade).
In order to be sure nothing is left behind I generally make these charts were I tick with color what was already made.
Next: So much for this chart, only now I noticed 5th Cavalry Brigade was not made and this one will be next.
