French Chevau-Legers Lanciers

As the final preparation for my play test of a Napoleonic game at our regional convention, Bayou Wars, next month, I completed two regiments of French cavalry.  Both of these regiments are chevau-legers lanciers, six of which were raised from dragoon regiments by the decree of July 15, 1811. 

5th Regiment of Chevau-Legers Lanciers, which was converted from the 10th Dragoon Regiment

6th Regiment of Chevau-Legers Lanciers, which was converted from the 29th Dragoon Regiment
 
Both of these regiments are primarily vintage Scruby Miniatures and its follow-on manufacturer, Historifigs.  There may be a few Warrior Miniatures in the 6th Regiment.
 
They are each brigaded with a hussar regiment in two light cavalry brigades that are part of my French reserve cavalry.
