18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR18.1 Markgraf Karl



One of my favourite Prussian regiments, because of the flags, and I have lost track of the number of times I have painted this in 15mm and 28mm. The cross on the flag is the Maltese cross of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem as the Markgraf was their grandmaster. Beautiful flags by Dave Morfitt, of course.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR 5 Braunschweig 1st BTN



 Another battalion done with fab flags from Dave Morfitt. There seems to be some dispute on Kronoskaf about the facing colour, either white or buff. I'm in the later camp as this regiment's inhaber was Ferdinand of Brunswick who is always portrayed in regimentals with buff facings.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR 24 Schwerin Musketeers 2nd BTN




 Another battalion done with lovely flags from Dave Morfitt. I'm getting in the swing of these

large battalions and enjoying this project very much – accordingly, all other projects are pushed to the back!

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Austrians: Sachsen-Gotha Dragoons



 Twenty eight figures (four squadrons of seven) of this very hard fighting Dragoon regiment.

Technically I should field six squadrons and a company of horse grenadiers but I think it's large enough as it is although I might field some of the latter.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR6 Grenadier Garde (Semper Talis)





 

Another large battalion to add to this growing army. I don't normally add guard battalions to my armies as they are not very representative but I had the figures available so thought 'why not' as this regiment had such an impressive history, not to mention a pretty uniform.

Flags from Dave Morfitt's lovely website Not by Appointment and figures are from Old Glory.

18mm Old Glory: WAS Austrians: IR Deutschmeister 2nd BTN



 Another battalion of Old Glory's SYW Austrian range. The lovely flags are from Dave Morfitt's range of Charles VI flags which are suitable for the WAS and early SYW. They are much more interesting than the common 'yellow' in use by the end of the SYW. Plus the infantry form up in 4 ranks, which means, if you want, that you can base them differently, as I both like and do.
