...is this old Wargames Foundry Marlburian dragoon that I came across in the bottom of my "spares" box, and which I quickly decided would be attached to l'Armée de l'Oise.
I must have bought him back in 1987 or so, from my friend Dave Morgan who ran the late-and-lamented Sentry Box West Hobbies in Vancouver.
Now, while he was intended for Marlburian armies ca. 1709, he has his hair tied back in a queue, so that he can easily pass muster for service 35 years later.

What's more, he looks a lot like this gentleman who features on my blog header;
So seeing that M. le Marquis must of course have a mounted escort on his command stand, what better choice than brigadier Jean-Claude Boulet, battle-hardened veteran of the Bauffremont Dragoon Regiment?

Very good use for a one-off figure. With such an escort, the general should feel very safe.

A happy find, and nicely painted.
