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.
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.
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.
