King & Country · Napoleonic · NA074
NA074 steps ahead with his body slightly inclined and the weapon carried low across the front. The figure adds movement to the Legion’s green-coated infantry without committing him to an obvious close-combat lunge.

A movement that remains controlled
The forward step and lowered weapon suggest a soldier changing position while remaining attentive. Place him where there is visible room to go. A narrow opening between low terrain pieces can make the movement understandable, but a wall immediately against the leading foot makes the scene look blocked.
Compare the two moving figures
NA075 is titled “Skirmisher” and adopts a lower, more searching posture. NA074’s longer step gives a different rhythm. The two work well together if their gaze and weapons follow the same general direction. They also demonstrate why matching the exact pose is necessary when a listing offers an unidentified green-coated soldier.
The sides reveal the most
A side photograph shows the stride, weapon and pack together. Inspect the projecting muzzle, the hands and the lower legs, then compare the hat with the reference. The dark green coat may hide small paint repairs in a dim image. Keeping the original catalog photograph with the set code makes future checks much easier than relying on a remembered nickname.
