Imperial Guard Marines, Dismounted Dragoons and Chasseurs

I am working on a couple more BBB Peninsula scenarios; Bailen and Corunna and to prepare I've done a few dismounted cavalry (for Corunna) and Imperial Guard Marines (for Bailen)




Dismounted dragoons and Chasseurs for Corunna, the ground was not suited for cavalry action so they dismounted.



Imperial Guard Marines for Bailen, this regiment should actually be more accurately translated as Imperial Guard Seaman. They were formed by Napoleon in anticipation of his invasion of Britain in 1804. When this didn't happen they became a more usual infantry regiment of the Guard. This was one of the actions they are most known for, unfortunately a humiliating defeat for the French despite their best efforts.
