If only I had that many extras... for now, I'm calling them Baker-pattern
rifles... apparently (according to Brassey's History of the Uniform:
Napoleonic Wars Wellington's Army) Dragoons carried them. This lets me arm a
few riflemen with them, if I can figure out an adequate rifleman pattern.

Watch the movies *after* you've read the books -- the movies are great for
visuals, but they simply didn't have the budget to field over 10 000 extras
per film, so they're understandably less accurate : ) But count on the
books! Bernard Cornwell got his facts straight!
