I'm hoping to do the next unit quite soon, mixing in more Algerians. Also the next unit will be carrying a Tricolore and I'm gonna try out the Victrix Napoleonic Old Guard arm with musket and pennant instead of the bugler arm used here. BUT - first I'm going to get cracking at a unit of Volontaire de l'Ouest using Perry Metal Zouaves.
