I've put it on my list of actions to refight. Mind you, my games have nothing to do with point armies and everything to do with appreciating some of the difficulties and decisions commanders faced on active service. Making the best of a given scenario is more exciting to me than 'another wargame' with point armies. Yes, I bet that visit was special. I know the Batavian army included several blue faced with sky-blue. And the Batave Legion c.1793 wore black faced with sky blue.

They are all within reasonable distance of each other and you finish up at the museum. Sorry about the qualitity of the photos, Just a digi cam taking snapshots through the huge glass cabinet. In real life those line infantry figs do look like they are wearing brown though. Maybe the paint job has faded with time and the sun.
