This Neapolitan Army was commissioned earlier this year, the figures are painting conversions of Front Rank figures. The period of this army is between 1808-12 covering the change from Joseph Bonparte to Joachim Murat. This would enable a mixture of units/uniforms from both Kings military forces as the changes in uniforms and regiments was notoriously slow during the Napoleonic period especially in Italy, this is especially relevant with the Dragoon Regiment. The cavalry flags are speculative as I could not find a manufacturer that made Neapolitan flags from this period. The prancing horse flagpole topper is scratch built. The army is composed of 3 x Line Infantry Regts, 2 Cavalry Regts, 1 x Horse Artillery battery, 1 x Foot Artillery battery & a mounted General.
