Hi all,

I am embarking upon my own little Waterloo project. I have seen many brilliant projects across the internet.

I am just wondering which figures people use for the Hannoverian Landwehr that were present at Waterloo?

Thanks,
EG :)

I used the British infantry in stovepipe but if you want to do some with caps use the Prussian reserve infantry.

Wasn't that just invented by Warlord?

There certainly is controversy. I didn't put any of mine in caps. But l don't recall what my actual research showed. Some people don't really care if it's accurate or not they just like the look.

Hi all,

Thank you for the interesting discussion. I must admit my mental picture of the Hannoverians has been heavily influenced by the Warlord box set. I think infantry in stovepipes is the way to go. Perhaps I will mix the odd figure in a cap in to identify the battalions at a distance.

Thanks!

I have gone with stovepipe as well - unfortunately the mont-st-jean site ( http://centjours.mont-saint-jean.com/unitesHA.php ) also has a mix of stovepipe and prussian style flat cap. Gulp, I was always wondering how accurate that was. I always a ssumed - 'very'. The mont-st-jean site also have a unit of Hanoverian Line in flat cap and in green uniform (I have got tthose ones in my 1815 Hanoverian forces now).
