| Marching Russian Columns |
The Russians did a lot of marching in 1812, mostly away from French pursuit.
 |
| Russia Command staff & ADC's |
Here I have laid out the 250 minis that I have for the Russian forces, with about 20% more artillery than the French ones have committed.

| The head of the Column with Dragoons leading the way |
This number of troops will soon be expanded by another 100 with 7 battalions of Russians on the way, once I have sourced the flag poles for them.

Just as I did with the recent Bastille Day parade, I put out the Russian Guard unit (well Pavlov Grenadiers) that I have (yes I know that the flags are incorrect - I plan to print up some new ones before the Maloyaroslavets game in October).

| Four Yards of minis |
 |
| Pavlov Grenadiers |
 |
| More Pavlov Grenadiers |
This time the four yards of minis were mostly in column, with the rear guard of Cossacks and Hussars deployed to cover from the expected marauding French ...
