Battle of inkerman 5 November 1854

With Wargames  Illustrated issue 381 July 2019 I received a free set of Crimean War Russian infantry by warlord games to which I'm going to paint up and prepare for the battlefield along with the other small figures I have of this. So that's why I'm going to have a Crimean War scenario up on this blog shortly.
At presents I have approximately 5 regiments of Russian troops with a battery of artillery Calvary consists of Cossacks. British troops for the area consists of my Napoleonic British and my Highlanders which at 1/72 scale you really can't tell if the carrying flintlocks or percussion locks.
