This is the last of the Hessian battalions for my army. The figures are from a Ukrainian designer/manufacturer Vladimir Zhiko which I bought quite a while ago. The flags are from Frederick Aubert.

Beautiful flags are by Frederic Aubert.
In 1704, the regiment was renamed "The Royal Dragoons of Ireland". It's two squadrons served at Blenheim and Ramillies. I have now painted this unit in 28mm, 10mm and 18mm and the latter is my favourite scale for this period.
The lovely flags are, of course, by Dave Morfitt of Not by Appoinment.
Back in December 2020 I painted the first Hessian cavalry regiment - KR2 Gens d'Armes (red facings). I have just finished KR1 Prinz Wilhem (blue facings). It's worth saying again that I have given them cuirasses although they were not issued until after the war. The lovely figures are from Black Hussar. The plan is to do two brigades totalling 16 squadrons.
