First units of French Cavalry

First cavalry units for my C19th French, starting with a base of Spahis. Not sure who made these, your guess is probably better than mine.


Although they can operate as scouts and staff troops, they really need some friends to bulk out the unit.








Then there are my  Guard Guides, a full squadron here. Far too well heeled to waste in battle, I shall keep these dainties in reserve. About time I did some line cavalry. I have nine? Dragoons,12 Curassiers (two regiments), 12 Chasseurs D'Afrique and 6 Hussars. I guess I can use the excess Dragoons as picquets and escorts.
