Earlier this during (during AHPC) I completed the first two battlaions for my Crimean War Russian army

Since then I've been working on a unit of Jagers to join them: four bases of 8 figs, plus 6 individual skirmishers. Hobbying has been very start/stop lately due to a lot of work travel, so it feels good to get these finished.
Russian Infantry Regiments of the period comprised four battalions: 2 Line Infantry and 2 Jaegers.The Jaegers were akin to British Light Infantry, similarly armed to the line infantry but trained in more mobile tactics. Where the Line Infantry had white webbing, the Jaegers had black and invariably favoured the field caps over helmets.
These are all Great War Miniatures metal figures, so the unit has some nice heft! They are nice figures but, unlike the plastic Warlord figures I used previously, there is little variation amongst the troops.
This brings my Russian force to 12 units of infantry and 2 of skirmishers. I'll turn now to some Cavalry units as the next focus.
Thanks for looking!
