18mm SYW/WAS: 2 squadrons of FreiKorps Kleist Hussars

 This started off with just a single squadron but this was raised to 5 by 1761. They had a very distinctive uniform of orangey-red with grass-green pelisse. I will field 6 figure squadrons of hussars in the Prussian army (roughly 100 men) and 8 figure squadrons in the Austrian army, the latter being noticeably stronger on paper.

18mm Old Glory: SYW/WAS Prussians: IR18.2 Markgraf Karl

 The second battalion of this regiment and my C-in-C base, which is based on Fred but will more probably be his younger brother Prince Henry. That's now 10/16 of the infantry finished so time for some cavalry.

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.

 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.
