18mm Old Glory: WAS Prussians: IR 44 Jungkenn Müntzer Fusiliers 2nd BTN




 

Years ago I painted up an army of SYW Prussians using Old Glory figures. When I say 'years ago' I probably mean at least 40 years ago. I always loved the dynamism of the infantry although I hated, and still do, the cavalry mounted on pygmy horses. Anyway, you may have seen some of my Austrian units (the cavalry in particular are Eureka figures)

which I posted here in April.

So here is the first of the Prussian units. Grand scale, you could say, in the sense that each battalion has 36 figures. Note that I replace the bendy original flag staves with steel pins to enable the use of larger flags.

Anyway I am pleased with the results.

28mm WAS/SYW French: IR55 Waldner (Swiss) 2nd battalion




 

Here is the second battalion of Waldner and the final battalion of my French army. I've also finished off more generals. All that remains to do is some cavalry generals.

Flags are from GMB.

28mm WAS/SYW French: IR55 Waldner (Swiss) 1st battalion



 Here is the first of this two-battalion regiment and, when both are finished, that completes my French army of 22 battalions, 26 squadrons and three batteries.

Flags are from GMB.

28mm WAS/SYW French: 104th Royal Lorraine, both battalions




Here is the finished regiment. Just one regiment to go until this army is completed so I thought I'd add a splash of red in the form of a Swiss regiment.
