I think you should with the officers pack. Whether they would be there or not is almost irrelevant its all about how you want to set the scene and the officers are going to be less intrusive and keep the focus on Napoleon. And based on how Napoleon is posed in this vignette you are definitely not in a pre-battle meeting its going to be during or post and the officers are probably more appropriate for that.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-74101957303262770452012-08-25T06:10:26.885-07:002012-08-25T06:10:26.885-07:00I have painted the hangers on pack and it is very ...I have painted the hangers on pack and it is very nice, I would go with that.<br /><br />Johnjohn de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-15698494064466832432012-08-25T04:35:00.094-07:002012-08-25T04:35:00.094-07:00I'd go with the generals.

Officers who are not ADCs are unlikely to be hanging about in groups so close to the emperor. And, as you intend to put the others in the background you can portray that kind of uncomfortable scene where SOMEONE has to deliver bad news but nobody wants to volunteer... ;-)Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-62849527392051295242012-08-24T23:43:25.451-07:002012-08-24T23:43:25.451-07:00I reckon TamsinP has it right - go with the office...I reckon TamsinP has it right - go with the officers.... unless it was a pre-battle meeting the generals wouldn't have been there...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-54917560106870721852012-08-24T15:32:06.188-07:002012-08-24T15:32:06.188-07:00I'd go with the Generals pack, because that...I'd go with the Generals pack, because that's who'd really be there.

For during the battle I'd go with the officers - the generals should be with their commands or have a bl***y good reason not to be! the officers would then represent various aides de camp, couriers etcTamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.com
