There are 6 infantry units, 5 skirmishers and 4 artillery batteries painted but the bases are not finished.
I have enough figures for 5 more skirmishers and another infantry unit, and I have not started on the cavalry. This is a pretty good force for the money. The force will have 6 units of 24 figures, 4 artillery and 17 figures of light cavalry.
Figures $71.62
40mmx40mm Bases: $18.50
Shipping: $19.95
Total Spend $110.07
The Infantry are a mix of wearing great coats and standard uniform. This would reflect a mix of regulars and conscripts through each unit. From what I have read there were one battalion of regulars and 2 battalions of conscripts in each regiment at the start of the Italian campaign.
The artillery looks better than I thought they would and are bigger than expected.
Next purchase
I have found heavy cavalry (Italeri Prussian Cuirassiers Set 6007) that can be used for French Cuirrasiers and Marengo. I will look for them at Historicon. Early French Cavalry had the bicorns from what I could find in research.
